Hello again;

Finally I compiled ok from the source "indi-master". I comment out the content of sxGetCameraModel() function and also I increased the time out of lines 114 &115 to 3000000 each one. The error persists :(

I guess that virtualbox can not provide enough timming between messages to allow this camera to work properly. I faced this problem before with Ueye cameras, but I solve it changing the configuration of Virtualbox to USB3 (even when the camera was connected to a USB port). However, in this case it seem that there is no solution when using virtualbox (at least, I have no more ideas).
