Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In dom0, once:
qvm-create -l red usbvm
# FIXME: use your own PCI device IDs
qvm-pci -a usbvm 00:1d.0
qvm-pci -a usbvm 00:1d.1
qvm-pci -a usbvm 00:1d.2
qvm-pci -a usbvm 00:1d.7
In dom0, after each dom0 reboot:
sudo ./install-pvusb-dom0.sh
qvm-start usbvm
In dom0, after each usbvm reboot:
usbvm_xid=`xl list | awk '($1=="usbvm"){print $2}'`
xenstore-write /local/domain/${usbvm_xid}/qubes-usb-devices ''
xenstore-chmod /local/domain/${usbvm_xid}/qubes-usb-devices n0 b${usbvm_xid}
In usbvm, after each reboot:
sudo ./install-pvusb-backend.sh
In appvms, after each reboot:
sudo ./install-pvusb-frontend.sh
In dom0, after each usbvm and appvm reboot (FIXME):
sudo ../pvusb-scripts/initpv.py <backend-id> <frontend-id> <device-id>
After the above is done:
'qvm-usb -l' in usbvm displays a list of local USB devices
'lsusb' in appvm displays an entry for the root hub
Attach
~~~~~~
In dom0:
qvm-usb -a [-b <usbvm-name>] [-f <frontend-controller> [--p <frontend-port>]] [--no-auto-detach] <vm-name> <controller>-<port>
Defaults:
usbvm-name = 'usbvm'
frontend-controller = 0
frontend-port = first unused between 1 and 8
Example:
qvm-usb -a netvm usbvm:4-1
List
~~~~
In dom0:
qvm-usb -l
Example output:
usbvm:4-1 1234:5678 My Bluetooth Dongle
usbvm:4-2 5678:1234 My Wireless Adapter (attached to 'netvm' as '0-1')
Detach
~~~~~~
In dom0:
qvm-usb -d <vm-name>:<vusb-controller>-<vusb-port>
qvm-usb -d <vm-name>
Example:
qvm-usb -d netvm:0-1
Known issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The content of backend/vusb does not get cleaned on domain shutdown (no impact on functionality)
* System keyboard / mouse are listed and can be detached away
* Virtual USB devices (ones created by PVUSB frontend) may be listed
* The installation/configuration is not persistent, not retained between reboots
* The name of the default usbvm is hardcoded in qubesutils.py
* No logging / audit trail?
