  • [SOLVED] Connecting to J-Link under Windows Hyper-V?

    I've started using Hyper-V on my Windows 10 system in order to sandbox different development environments. But my J-Link isn't showing up inside the Hyper-V virtual machine. Reading the web, it appears that (perhaps) Hyper-V will only allow storage devices to be passed through from the primary environment. Is this true? Or is it possible to communicate with the J-Link from inside a Hyper-V environment? If so, how?

    Thanks!
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    J-Link behaves as a regular USB Device so the device must most likely be forwarded to your VM. How is VM software specific and is not related to SEGGER software.
    We suggest contacting Microsoft support in this case.

    As an alternative we suggest using VMWare or Virtualbox as we have many customers using this VM software successfully with J-Link.
    For Hyper-V we have no customer reports yet.

    Best regards,
    Nino
