[Xen-users] USB Pass through to a Para Virtual Machine

["Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV)" <Ramesh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks;

I'm having a tough time getting my VM to "see" a USB device connected to 
my PC.
The HOST sees the device just fine:

[root@VE3RSD-TEST ~]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10cf:5500 Velleman Components, Inc. 8055 
Experiment Interface Board (address=0)
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[root@VE3RSD-TEST ~]#



I have the following in my xen config file for my VM:

usb=1
usbdevice=[ 'host:10cf:5500' ]


However, when I do a lsusb from the VM, the device does not show up at all.


I've read some stuff on the web about passing the entire USB controller, 
where the controller is a PCI based card.  In my case, the USB 
controller is the on-board USB ports.  I do not have a spare slot to 
install a PCI card either.
Can anyone help? - this is critical to my VM rollout.

Thanks!

Ramesh.
