To finalise the firmware upgrade, normally the application on the Windows/Linux System resets the USB Devicc via a USB Reset.
Everything works fine between the application in the guest system and the USB device.
But if the application sends the USB reset, it is not received by the USB device.
But it works, if the application runs in the host environment or in a direct installed Windows7 System (without virtualbox).
So from my point of view, the USB Device is not the problem and also not the application.
For me it seems, that the virtualbox blocks or does not forward the USB reset.
My question is, is this a feature or a bug? I was not able to find any hints/specification (google/this forum) which describes this behaviour or that someone else had this problem.
And if this a feature, can it be configured, that a USB reset is forwarded to the host system.
For Testing I'm working on an Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) as host system.
Installed is VirtualBox 5.1.18 with the corresponding extension Pack (also installed in the guest).
The guest is a Windows7 system.
The USB device is connected to the windows system with the libusk driver. The application uses the libusb library. For the USB reset, the libusb_reset_device function of the libusb library is used.
The output of VBoxManage list extpacks and showvminfo is added.
