|
||
|
|
||
|
-device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \
|
||

#### CoolerMaster keyboard
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following USB configuration works for usb passthrough of a CoolerMaster
|
||
|
keyboard to macOS Sierra guest!
|
||
|
|
||
|
-device usb-host,bus=usb-bus.0,vendorid=0x2516,productid=0x0004 \

#### Virtual USB disk
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following USB configuration works for attaching a virtual USB disk to macOS
|
||
|
Sierra guest. Use "qemu-img" to create "disk.raw" virtual disk.
|
||
|
|
||
|
-drive if=none,id=usbstick,file=disk.raw,format=raw \
|
||
|
-device usb-storage,bus=usb-bus.0,drive=usbstick \
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
|
||
|
However USB passthrough of EHCI, and XHCI (USB 3.0) devices does not work with
|
||
|
macOS Sierra. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1509336 for
|
||
|
confirmation. According to this bug report, USB passthrough does not work with
|
||
|
versions >= Mac OS X El Capitan guests.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It seems that this problem can be fixed by using OVMF + Clover.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Update: OVMF + Clover doesn't help. It seems that macOS is missing the required
|
||
|
drivers for the EHCI, and XHCI controllers that are exposed by QEMU.
