USB programming cable compatability?

[jadrake67]

Hi,
I am using a windows electronics design program on Bottles that communicates with an external programming board via a USB cable. I am struggling to find out how to get the software to connect with the cable. The software has its own drivers for the cable, which appear to install correctly, however the software cannot "see" the USB cable when it's plugged in to the computer. I'm using Zorin 18 as the host OS.

Can anyone point me to an article detailing how to get the software to successfully communicate with a USB port, passing through Bottles?

Thanks,
Adam
