This seems to be an old and common problem, but I can't find any real answers on the Google or on the similar posts to this forum. Hopefully someone else out there has a fresh perspective.
I'm running Code Composer Studio 3.1 on a Windows XP SP3 VirtualBox hosted by Ubuntu 12.04, and trying to connect to a C6416 DSP with a Spectrum Digital XDS510 USB emulator. I can connect just fine, load a program, and go to main, but after that, things tend to fall apart. Whether I try stepping through my code or just letting it run freely, I end up getting assorted errors that all have something to do with "lost USB connection to the emulator." I also have a XILINX Platform Cable USB II and an Altera USB Blaster connected to the same VM and have no problems with them at all.
I've done some searching through the forums and there were some ideas, but none of this seems to work for me. I get the same problem whether I use Code Composer 3.1 or 5.3, whether I use VirtualBox 4.2.6 or VMWare Player 5.0.1 or VMWare Workstation 9.0.1, or whether I use WinXP or WinXP SP3. Does anyone out there know how to resolve this problem? Is there some special combination of tools I can use or some magic package I can install to make all this go away? Thanks for any help anyone out there can offer.
