Hey @zfields, No, unfortunately, Codespaces do not support I was working on a I was looking for dogfooders to test in a broader set of projects, would you be interested in trying it for your scenarios? |

My goal is to perform embedded development from a container. I don't quite understand how the GitHub CLI would interact with the container. Can you ELI5 for me? |

Question
Body
Do you support USB connections from Codespaces, or have any plans to do so?
I'm an embedded firmware engineer, and I use
.devcontainers
to build/flash/debug my hardware.I develop on Linux, so I can pass
--device /dev/bus/usb
on the command line to Docker, then I am able to flash and debug my firmware from my VSCode devcontainer.Perhaps, if Codespaces could gain access to USB via the Web Serial API, then I would be able to build, flash and debug my embedded device directly from Codespaces. This would be a game changer!
Here is an example of my configuration, in case it helps.
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json
