USB passthrough? #7

Closed DevJCrystal closed 6 years ago

DevJCrystal commented 6 years ago

I have been trying to add the ability for USB passthrough without any luck. I am new to qemu which doesn't help.

Is there any other way to find the usb devices other than lsusb?

AFAIK - there is no way to accomplish this without KVM. Currently Google does not compile the ChromeOS kernels (3.x or 4.x depending on the hardware) with the KVM config set so you would have to go into developer mode to run a custom kernel.

I will leave this issue open in case someone figures this out through some other means. If in the future Google changes this--that would also be an acceptable time to close this issue.

This will require kernel modifications -- outside of the scope of this tutorial.
