Running under OSX Virtual Machine (Read 8374 times)

	I am trying to run in OSX in a� Parallels Virtual Machine - I have ensured that the the Arduino is on a USB port and that port is assigned to the VM. I can compile 'Blink' - but it will not upload (no Serial Port) and I cannot see any serial ports in Tools/Arduino. Is this a Virtual Machine problem - or have I missed something! Help much appreciated Thank-you

	Hi, Yes it must be a virtual machine or mac config problem. Visual Micro uses the standard .net call to get a list of IO SerialPorts. So it doesn't do anything non-standard or clever.

	Problem solved - Arduino drivers are not signed, so W8 refuses to load them, unless you use an obscure PC setting to disable the check

	Great, thanks for the update. Does this article explain what you did to disable Win8 signed drivers check? http://3dvision-blog.com/tag/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-windows-8/

	Yes it does, under 'tile-based shell'.

	OK - so I can compile and run an Arduino 'Blink' app using Visual Studio 2012 and the Arduino plug-in. I can set Breakpoints and� 'when hit' to output a loopCount - and to BreakAlways. nothing happens - and Debug/stepInto etc all trigger a new build and upload of the app. - and there are no DEbug Windows displayed VS2012 is so different from VS2010 that the VM video on utube doesnt really help - except to show what should happen when debug is set up. Suggestions Please!

	The two versions are the pretty much the same and the beta page gives the basic tips. Please create a new thread in the debug beta forum board and let me know if you followed the instructions on the beta page. Thanks

	ps: Sounds like (Micro Debug) is not set to "Full"?
