[Qemu-devel] qemu USB support

[Nicolas Wu]

One vital feature to be implemented with 
qemu -  usb support! imagine being able
to use all your usb devices like webcams,
storage devices, and pretty much anything else you
can imagine, in your emulated system!
yeay!

any ideas or suggestions? can we get a team
up and running to sort it out?

That would be cool. That would make QEMU even more usefull. However......isn't 
there some other work to do first before adding all those features?
I mean......QEMU is far from easy to install...........user mode seems to fail 
with my Distro and it's not my fault.....and speed could also be improved 
first.

Right - enough features now - stability and speed come first.

Of course anyone is free to submit an USB device emulation - I would 
prefer OHCI as it should work also for PowerMACs :-)

Note that user-mode QEMU is no longer my priority, so I won't support it 
directly. Some motivated people could set up a minimal set of libraries 
and programs (wine, etc...) and an installer so that anyone interested 
can install user QEMU easily.

I was planning an EHCI implementation in order to support USB2.0, but I
am only in very initial planning phases. If someone else were to do it I
would be very pleased because I'm really just interested in a USB
Host/Guest proxy for reverse engineering.

If you write it, please begin to add a few virtual devices to make 
tests, such as USB keyboard and mouse.

[I hope that EHCI is supported by Darwin/Mac OS X.]
