Developing under Linux (or OS X)

I have been developing on Linux and using a virtual machine running Windows to talk to the pedal. It works well. Here are my notes on getting this running.

  1. Using VirtualBox 3.1.2 binary from Sun. Open-source edition doesn't supportt USB.
  2. WinXP SP2 guest on a Fedora 7 host. Presumably any Linux host will do (OS X??? I don't see why not).
  3. Not sure if this helped (I think this is more for an issue w/ thumbdrives and older VirtualBox releases):
    $ mount -t usbfs -o remount,devgid=$(awk -F: '/^vboxusers:/{print $3}' /etc/group),devmode=664  /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
  4. With machine off edit USB settings, add filter fore Tonecore.
  5. Have Tonecore plugged in when at boot time.
  6. Unplug and plug back in, it should show up in the Devices->USB menu as not greyed out. I don't understand what is going on here, but at least it works.
  7. Windows should recognize, do the usual driver dance, and the GUI should now recognize it.

Knobs/foot pedal events show up in the GUI. DSP downloads work. I haven't tried MCU downloads but I assume they will work.

I haven't tried this on a Mac yet. I expect it will work.
