Detection problem of BDM Multilink under vmware virtual machine

[Spell]

Hi guys,

I've installed win xp with vmware workstation under linux host...
My problem is that I'm able to install BDM driver under windows but when I try to program a micro, codewarrior can't detect the BDM multilink interface.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks a lot,
Filippo

Hi, I am using a DEMO9SO8LC60 board on VMware 6 workstation with a Linux host and XP Pro VM.
I had the same problem. I would fail to connect to the target. If you re-tried, it would hang until you disconnected the USB.  jamesarm97  got his DEMO9S08AW60E to work by fittting a link for FULL USB which made VMware see it as a USB1.1 :smileyalert:. So I tried connecting  my DEMO board to the USB via a plugin USB1.1 hub and voila! it works a treat. I will test the Multilink too when it arrives and post results.

Has anyone had any luck running under VMware? I have been able to communicate with varying success. Most of the time it gets through the programming part, but looses communications when I click run. I have also tried to update the firmware to the latest 5.74 but it never makes it all the way through. I can get as far as firmware uploaded then dies during the csum calculation. I thought it maybe timing so I figured I will try to install Boot Camp (on Intel Mac) and run Windows XP directly. Well, it has the same problem. This is Windows running natively on an intel computer and it still does not work. Still seems to be timing or something because it can get through uploading the code sometimes, then when it runs the bdm looses comms. I would really like to be able to develop on my laptop. Does anyone know if there are any logs or support info I could look at or upload?
