Support
#1

Hello,
I’ve a nano & square blinkstick and it work well on my host.

When I try to use them on :

  • VMware (device is detected and at first use device is down)
  • Virtualbox machine device is not detected

any tip to work in Vm env ? (note : I try on USB port 1.0, 2.0 & 3)

Regards.

What is your host OS? I don’t have any problems with virtualbox on Win7 host and various different OS. Just need to install latest version of VirtualBox additions. Btw it does not work for me on USB3, but I think it’s a VM issue. Host USB3 works fine.

Could this be the “Hub” problem again? We have a few issues with Win10 when the device is connected directly to the USB port. Could you please try it with a USB hub?
