ISSUE / QUESTION / SYMPTOM

Why does the USB-to-CAN V2 not run with the Oracle VirtualBox virtualization software?

POSSIBLE CAUSES / ANSWER

The USB-to-CAN V2 does not run with Oracle VirtualBox (free version) because this version only supports the USB 1.1 standard. The USB-to-CAN V2 requires USB 2.0, which is not supported by VirtualBox’s free version. As a result, the USB-to-CAN V2 cannot function properly in this environment.

To resolve this issue, you may consider upgrading to a version of VirtualBox that supports USB 2.0, or use another virtualization tool that provides full USB 2.0 compatibility. This can create a safer development and testing environment for developers working with USB-to-CAN V2.
