USB support in most virtualization solutions (VMWare, Virtual PC, VirtualBox etc) is either limited, unstable or does not exist. You can easily use USBDeviceShare to access the USB devices plugged in to the host machine from the virtual machine.

Install USBDeviceShare server in the host machine where USB devices are present. Share the devices which you need to access from the virtual machine. Now, install USBDeviceShare client in the virtual machine. Using the client connect to the server installed at host machine and plugin the devices which are  shared there.

Developers writing drivers or firmware for vendor specific devices can use USBTrace’s vendor specific class decoder to capture, decode and display vendor specific requests. The vendor specific class decoder allows you to write and install your own class decoder DLL.

In addition to decoding control transfers, you can also decode bulk, interrupt and isochronous requests from your decoder DLL.

To know more about writing your own class decoder DLL, look  here.
