5 The QEMU EHCI Adapter does *not* support companion controllers. That
6 implies there are two completely separate USB busses: One USB 1.1 bus
7 driven by the UHCI controller and one USB 2.0 bus driven by the EHCI
8 controller. Devices must be attached to the correct controller
11 The '-usb' switch will make qemu create the UHCI controller as part of
12 the PIIX3 chipset. The USB 1.1 bus will carry the name "usb.0".
14 You can use the standard -device switch to add a EHCI controller to
15 your virtual machine. It is strongly recommended to specify an ID for
16 the controller so the USB 2.0 bus gets a individual name, for example
17 '-device usb-ehci,id=ehci". This will give you a USB 2.0 bus named
20 I strongly recomment to also use -device to attach usb devices because
21 you can specify the bus they should be attached to this way. Here is
24 qemu -M pc ${otheroptions} \
25 -drive if=none,id=usbstick,file=/path/to/image \
27 -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \
28 -device usb-tablet,bus=usb.0 \
29 -device usb-storage,bus=ehci.0,drive=usbstick
31 This attaches a usb tablet to the UHCI adapter and a usb mass storage
32 device to the EHCI adapter.
