Problem

When a USB device breaks the connection for just a moment, Qubes' USB qubes (sys-usb) detaches it from the qube it was previously connected to. However, some USB devices are expected to interrupt the connection, e.g. Arduino boards when they are being programmed.

Workarounds

  • connect an entire USB controller to the VM where the Arduino IDE runs
  • use another OS than Qubes

With the availability of self-identity oriented assignment (#9325), this issue could be potentially fixed. By assigning specific USB port to the Qube running the EDA tool (eg. Arduino IDE), the mentioned dedicated port could be used to flash micro-controllers successfully.

I am going to test In-Circuit programmers & debuggers I have in my hand (from Microchip/Atmel, STMicro, Xilinx, Altera, ...) and report back. This is going to take some time.
