Re: [Xen-users] xen hvm usb problem



That may or may not be correct, I do not know. However I do know that I have successfully done usb passthrough from 3.1-rc3 kernel (Dom0) to a windows 7 DomU, without any patches which I guess mean that the legacy passthrough option work? (It is possible using the xl tool chain as well either in the config file or in the console (not not from the normal cli))

my understanding is that after pvops switch (landing xen in linux
kernel, perhaps coinsides with xen3->xen4?) usbback module is not
implemented, at least in vanilla kernel 3.0.4 or Konrad's git 2.6.xx.

xl tools don't support usb yet either. The easiest to try is to play
with xm tools:

manually unbind usb device from whatever module/driver in dom0 (opt)
xm usb list assignable devices (if not shown, try above)
try xm usb-attach
if you get an error, it basically means your dom0 kernel does not have usbback.

you can also check /proc/config.gz

Hi

Well normal usb 1.1 passthrough should be supported but it depends on device
  according to:
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenUSBPassthrough

For pvusb support I guess it is correct that the dom0 kernel has to support
it and the DomU OS of course.

Perhaps you should try the pvusb passthrough or test with some other usb
device to see if it is device dependent or not?

it could be that your xen/qemu/dom0 version doesn't support usbback
(hiding usb from dom0), that is the case e.g. with xen 4.1.1 and linux
