M1 Mac host - Vagrant Linux guest in VMWare cannot see stlink programmer but can see devices

[anoe]

Hello,

I have been learning using a NUCLEO-F401RE and am now looking to start using a board that I designed that has an STM32F4 chip as well as some other things (e.g., some memory, micro usb) on it.

On the (ubuntu) VM, I have installed usbutils, openocd, and stlink-tools. I 

When running "st-info --probe" I was expecting to see details about the STLink on the Nucleo board, but instead received the message "Found 0 stlink programmers".

It seems like the VM is not seeing the usb device as being connected to the STLink (see below), but I don't know how to remedy that.

How can I get the VM to recognize that one of these usb ports is connected to the STLink on the NUCLEO board?

What is your VMware host software? Workstation or Player?

Hi Pavel,

It is VMWare Fusion 13 (https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/details?downloadGroup=FUS-1302&productId=1375&rPId=105193).

Ah yes, it is a Mac. Can't Fusion manage redirection of host USB devices, like Workstation or Player do?

I suspect you are correct - https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/13/com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-4819DA9E-3575-4C7F-9912-C2FFBA6CEAD6.html.  Thank you for the push in the right direction!
