I have used ftdi drivers to connect to our test boards many times, using the same README file that was written by my colleague years ago. I have applied the same procedure for ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04 with no problem. But when I tried to do the same for ubuntu 22.04, it doesn't seem to work and I get this error message. (for the ocdf command which is an aliase alias ocdf='sudo rmmod ftdi_sio; openocd64_ab_fpga -f ab_fpga.cfg')
Info : only one transport option; autoselect 'jtag'
Info : Aldebaran JTAG 15000 kHz
Warn : Unable to open FTDI Device tried: 'Quad RS232-HS' and 'Quad RS232-HS A'
Error: unable to open ftdi device: 2

I could later see ftdi device 2 is ft2232(if I give false name, it lists the debug interfaces. number 2 is ft2232). I tried re-installing libftdi1 and libftdi1-2 to no avail. This is the content of ab_fpga.cfg file.

What can I try? I tried to install old version of libftdi but couldn't find it by apt-get search ftdi command.
ADD :
Having found that ubuntu provides openocd package, I tried installing it using sudo apt install openocd and using the instlled version. Here is the output with debug info.
ckim@ckim-ubuntu-22 ~/Desktop $ openocd -f ab_fpga.cfg -s /opt/abocd/share/openocd/scripts/ -d3
