Hi guys,
Currently we can passthrough the host USB device to the virtual
machine. This is done like:
–usbdevice host:1234:5678, where 1234 is vendor id, 5678 is product
id.
But there is a problem. If there are two identical USB devices,
where the vendor id and the product id is the same. It's not possible
to direct one USB device to VM1 and the second USB device to VM2.
You can assign devices by physical port.
See docs/usb2.txt
Yes, I have read this doc, I know it also support hostbus+hostport or
hostbus+hostaddr combinations.
But as the backinfo's request, should we extented the usbdevice parameter
like:
--usbdevice host:<vendor id>[:<product id>[:<serial number>]?
What happened if upper app try to passthough those identical USB devices
by vendorid+productid combination?
AFAIK, Virtualbox support to distingish those device by adding this
third parameter 'Serial Number' for vendorid+productid combination.
cheers,
Gerd
