I need to connect my BBG to a solar inverter via USB. With a Linux or Windows PC the inverter is plug und play. However the BBG does not want to talk to it. Here is dmesg ourput:

The goal is to redirect the USB port across the LAN to my laptop. Tested and working under Linux Mint. Here is dmesg from Mint:

Using latest Debian 10 IoT image. Redirecting the port with a USB stick works fine using Virtualhere.
Is there any way to ‘teach’ Debian on the BBG how to talk to this device?
Thanks in advance,
Peter.
