[vbox-dev] Build my own passthrough device

[DRACULAX]

Sorry to reply late.
I actually want to build a virtual pci device and passthrough it to my linux
guest.
Looking for some tips to follow.

Hi,guys,
I found virtualbox support the passthrough features and I like to
build one for testing.

What are you exactly talking about? Which kind of device do you want to pass
through? USB? PCI?

You have to be a lot more explicit to get help...

Klaus

Any document for this? Or any demos/samples?
Best regards

Pretty much *all* the devices which VirtualBox implements are virtual,
and a large portion of them are PCI devices. So these can serve as
samples: AHCI, IDE, SCSI, OHCI and more.

VirtualBox is open source, so you can see the entire source, and for a
couple of simple ISA devices we have sample code which is not used
actively in VirtualBox, but is present in the tree.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: one can deliver device emulations as
separate dll/so/dylib files bundled into an extpack, and enable them by
the extpack code. See the BusMouseSample extpack, which is what I was
subtly hinting at in the previous paragraph.
