Coral USB Accelerator

Hey,

I use hyper v but I'd really like to try using the Coral USB Accelerator in a virtual machine. Will this work? Does virtualhere support USB 3 speeds? And will the performance be degraded?

Thanks!

Hey,

I bought a license to try this out (as I'm running on a linux headless GUI less VM) and I can't get it working.

I have the server installed on the host, Windows Server 2016, and the linux client in a ubuntu guest - the console shows "OK" when I mount the USB device in the client, but lsusb doesn't show the device just the virtual hub:
