Can't get USB devices to show up as tty devices in Linux guests

Post by HadMatter »

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a linux build environment setup for an STM32 board (STM32F429I-DISC1) using virtualbox on a Windows host. I installed the expansion pack for virtualbox for the USB integration. I started off with an Ubuntu guest, and I was able to see the USB showing up as an external storage device, so it seems like the USB device filter is working, but the USB device doesn't seem to be available in /dev/. I've since switched to an Arch Linux guest for space purposes, and still am not getting the USB device to show up in /dev/. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Host OS is Windows 10
Guest OS is Arch Linux 2021.10.01
Virtualbox version is 6.1.26

The USB filter was set up by choosing the device from the list and keeping the settings as the default. The vid and pid are correct from what I can tell.

Thanks for you help.
