Problem with PSoC-Creator in virtual machine on Linux host

[AnKr_1499391]

Hi everybody,

   

I'm working on a linux (Opensuse 64bit) machine and have a virtualbox with Win7 (64bit) for the PSoC-Creator running.

   

After an update of the kernel in the last two days, I have the problem that I can not connect the programmer to the virtual machine any more.

   

I first thought that it was a problem of the virtual machine, but then I discovered an error when I plug in the programmer. The device itself is a BLE-devkit. And this is the dmesg-output after inserting the USB:

   

[ 1849.784185] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 9 [ 1851.736627] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd [ 1851.902720] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04b4, idProduct=f139 [ 1851.902723] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=128 [ 1851.902724] usb 3-1: Product: Cypress KitProg [ 1851.902725] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor [ 1851.902726] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: 0A1617AE031E4400 [ 1851.905086] hid-generic 0003:04B4:F139.0006: hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Device [Cypress Semiconductor Cypress KitProg] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1/input0 [ 1851.905761] cdc_acm 3-1:1.2: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem. [ 1851.905764] cdc_acm: probe of 3-1:1.2 failed with error -22

   

The last two lines are problematic. Does anybody have the same problem?

   

Thanks
Andreas

Hello,

   

I had done a search on the above error message. 
I can find a similar report in Bugzilla. Can you check if you are seeing the same:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14103

   

There also the issue happened after a Linux upgrade. Please share your OS details as well [including the VM you are using].

Thanks

Yes, I admit it looks like a bug in the OS. Here are the details on the environment:

   

OS: 3.16.7-32-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 20 14:05:33 UTC 2016 (d4df98a) x86_64 GNU/Linux 

   

Virtualbox: 5.0.10_SUSE r104061 with the extension pack 5.0.10r104061

   

Thanks

OK! It works again!
The solution was: To use another software-repository for the most up-to-date virtualbox!

   

After the update I installed virtualbox 5.0.10 from the official opensuse-repositories. The virtual machines started perfectly, but USB didn't work.

   

Then I added the repository "http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/13.2" from the virtualbox homepage. From there I got the 5.0.14 and now everything is working again!

   

May this help anybody who might have the same problem!
