Re: [Xen-devel] USB Passthrough support X86_64

[Ajmal M Ali <ajeeshb4u@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I need USB Passthrough for my work(pv). For that I am trying to write USB front and back drivers. Besides these what else is needed for the Passthrough to work?

Should I have to also do the part to add device model(xl) or is it already done.

I got some patches for adding the front-end driver. Have anyone worked on backend for usb?

If anyone could point me to anything that might help, that would be wonderful. I have minimal experience in Linux driver.

Regards

Ajmal
