Hi Sergey,
Are you trying to connect a non-Minoca host in order to debug a Minoca target? Or are you trying to connect two computers running Minoca?

I don't know how it will help you, but if it helps I have a lot of computers and I want to connect for debugging to publish the reports.
It would certainly help us if you were able to provide reports and debug computers that do not currently work. Are your FTDI cables usb-to-serial or usb-to-usb? From the issue title, it sounds like they are usb-to-usb. In that case, this won't work. But if they are usb-to-serial, you can follow the below steps:
We have some documentation on how to attach FTDI devices to a system running Minoca on our website: here.
The steps are:
Plug a USB Hub into a USB 2.0 port on the system running Minoca OS.
Plug an FTDI USB-to-serial device into the hub.
Attach a null modem cable to the serial end of the device.
Attach a second USB-to-serial device from the other null modem end to your development machine.
Launch Minoca debugger, assuming the USB-to-serial device attached to your dev machine is at COM4
.\debugui.exe -s .\x86 -e .\kexts.dll -k COM4
Boot the system running Minoca OS.

Chris, can i connect two computers without a hub this way http://img.blog.csdn.net/20160306174827967 ?
Yes, as yeti mentioned, you can connect them this way, except leave out the VCC connection.
You will need a hub on the Minoca machine side in between the FTDI board and the Minoca computer.
can i connect two computers via usb if I have two FTDI devices? Need a detailed description of the connection?
