Hello,
I just wanted to let the group know that additional support has been
added to the Windows port of newt ("newtvm"). Now you can transfer
images to actual hardware using newt's "target download" command. Prior
to this update, the newtvm tool did not have access to the development
machine's USB ports.
The real documentation will be updated soon, but in the meantime, here
are some notes on how to use this functionality.
Thanks,
Chris

<Enabling USB support in newtvm>
You only have to do this once:
* Download and install the VirtualBox Extension Pack:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
* Stop the virtual machine if it is currently running.
* Open the VirtualBox Manager (shortcut is called "Oracle VM
VirtualBox").
* Right-click the "default" virtual machine.
* Select Close --> Power off.
* Enable USB 2.0 support.
* From within the VirtualBox Manager, select the "default"
virtual machine.
* Click the "Settings" button.
* Select "USB" from the menu on the left.
* Check "Enable USB Controller".
* Select the "USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller" radio button.
You need to do this every time you start the docker instance (e.g., via
the Docker Quickstart Terminal):
* Plug your olimex debugger into a USB port.
* Open the VirtualBox Manager.
* Double click the "default" virtual machine (it should currently be
running). A new VirtualBox window should open.
* Select Devices --> USB --> FTDI Olimex OpenOCD JTAG ARM-USB-TINY-H
You should now be able to transfer images to your device using newt's
"target download" command.
