-USB Quick Start
-===============
-
-XHCI controller support
------------------------
-
-QEMU has XHCI host adapter support. The XHCI hardware design is much
-more virtualization-friendly when compared to EHCI and UHCI, thus XHCI
-emulation uses less resources (especially cpu). So if your guest
-supports XHCI (which should be the case for any operating system
-released around 2010 or later) we recommend using it:
-
- qemu -device qemu-xhci
-
-XHCI supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices, so this is the
-only controller you need. With only a single USB controller (and
-therefore only a single USB bus) present in the system there is no
-need to use the bus= parameter when adding USB devices.
-
-
-EHCI controller support
------------------------
-
-The QEMU EHCI Adapter supports USB 2.0 devices. It can be used either
-standalone or with companion controllers (UHCI, OHCI) for USB 1.1
-devices. The companion controller setup is more convenient to use
-because it provides a single USB bus supporting both USB 2.0 and USB
-1.1 devices. See next section for details.
-
-When running EHCI in standalone mode you can add UHCI or OHCI
-controllers for USB 1.1 devices too. Each controller creates its own
-bus though, so there are two completely separate USB buses: One USB
-1.1 bus driven by the UHCI controller and one USB 2.0 bus driven by
-the EHCI controller. Devices must be attached to the correct
-controller manually.
-
-The easiest way to add a UHCI controller to a 'pc' machine is the
-'-usb' switch. QEMU will create the UHCI controller as function of
-the PIIX3 chipset. The USB 1.1 bus will carry the name "usb-bus.0".
-
-You can use the standard -device switch to add a EHCI controller to
-your virtual machine. It is strongly recommended to specify an ID for
-the controller so the USB 2.0 bus gets an individual name, for example
-'-device usb-ehci,id=ehci". This will give you a USB 2.0 bus named
-"ehci.0".
-
-When adding USB devices using the -device switch you can specify the
-bus they should be attached to. Here is a complete example:
-
- qemu -M pc ${otheroptions} \
- -drive if=none,id=usbstick,file=/path/to/image \
- -usb \
- -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \
- -device usb-tablet,bus=usb-bus.0 \
- -device usb-storage,bus=ehci.0,drive=usbstick
-
-This attaches a USB tablet to the UHCI adapter and a USB mass storage
-device to the EHCI adapter.
-
-
-Companion controller support
-----------------------------
-
-The UHCI and OHCI controllers can attach to a USB bus created by EHCI
-as companion controllers. This is done by specifying the masterbus
-and firstport properties. masterbus specifies the bus name the
-controller should attach to. firstport specifies the first port the
-controller should attach to, which is needed as usually one EHCI
-controller with six ports has three UHCI companion controllers with
-two ports each.
-
-There is a config file in docs which will do all this for
-you, just try ...
-
- qemu -readconfig docs/config/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg
-
-... then use "bus=ehci.0" to assign your USB devices to that bus.
-
-Using the '-usb' switch for 'q35' machines will create a similar
-USB controller configuration.
