Arduino - Virtualbox

Hi everyone, I use 64-bit version Arch Linux. I want upgrade my arduino firmware usinf FLIP. I download 32-bit version flip for my linux from this http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx , but it is not working. So I run my virtualbox and I add arduino port to usb devices. I start Windows, but windows does not see my Arduino. Other USB devices is working.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much.

Re: Arduino - Virtualbox

For clarity, 64 bit Linux, but tried to run the 32 bit Linux version.  I assume you have multilib installed.  Which JRE are you using?  "It is not working" is not really helpful.  What happened (specifically)?

Then you tried a VM.  I assume you are running Windows in that VM?  What version?  32 or 64 bit?  What JRE are you running inside the VM?
What Arduino part are you using?  Is it one that uses an FTDI USB to serial chip?  Or is it one where they use the USB that is intrinsic to the AtMega processor?   This is important because ones that use the native USB will do a USB disconnect followed by a reenumerate each time the processor is reset.  The processor is reset when you enter programming mode.    If you are using a Leonardo, this falls under this category.  When this happens, the part will disappear, then reappear.  The rub is that it will disappear from the VM, but when it reappears, it will do so on the host.  You then have to share it with the VM again.
