OSX Virtualbox Fix

Finally got my MiniPro working with Mac OS 10.92 Mavericks and VirtualBox/Windows XP. Previous Post: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-411-minipro-tl866-universal-programmer-review/msg377895/#msg377895


Initially I had the following error: Failed to attach the USB device www.autoelectric.com MiniPro TL-866 Programmer to the virtual machine ...


This Was The Fix:

 
 =======================================================================================
 Virtual Box  4.2.10 R93012 with extension pack
 
 Host: Mac Mini Maverick OS X 10.92
 
 VM:   Microsoft XP (very basic installation)
 
 MiniPro TL-866: assumes that vendor ID = 04D8; product ID = E11C
 
 
 Select Windows XP virtual machine and open settings => ports => USB 
 
 - Check 'USB Controller'
 
 - Check 'Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller'
 
 - Add a new USB filter by selecting plus "+" icon on the right of window.
 
 - Edit the new filter
 
 -- Name: ... your choice
 
 -- Vendor ID: 04D8
 
 --Product ID: E11C
 
 --Remote: NO
 
 -- NOTE ... leave all other fields blank
 
 

Leave MiniPro TL-866 unconnected from USB while starting the WIN-XP virtual machine.

After VM is completely booted and logged in plug in the MiniPro. My system then came up with a window that shows a new USB device was detected. Proceded with the normal MiniPro install and verify operation.


I was not able to get this to operate with WIN2000 but I do not think this was a VirtualBox issue since is was able to pass through the USB device.


Happy Programming

Modern Windows GUI mod

On July 30, 2014 EEVblog Forum contributor Erwin Ried posted a modified executable for MiniPro v6.10 that upgrades the look and fixes some typos.


I added the 'modern' style to the v6.1 and fixed few typos, replace "MiniPro.exe" with: http://cl.ly/0B0h3g1e1Q1I
