QEMU USB Manager

This is a graphical USB manager for QEMU, because copy-pasting lsusb output is a pain. The UI uses the Lanterna library and is intended to be run on the command line, but should work acceptably if run as a desktop application.

Build

mvn clean package

This will spit out two files into a bin directory: the JAR, and an executable (qemu-usb-manager) to stick on your PATH.

Requirements

QEMU >= 2.5.0

Usage

Start QEMU with a QMP server, an xHCI bus named xhci, and an eHCI bus named ehci:

-qmp tcp:localhost:4565,server,nowait \
-device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \
-device usb-ehci,id=ehci

Now you can start the USB manager by running qemu-usb-manager localhost 4565

Navigate with the arrow keys. Use space to toggle attached USB devices.

To avoid speed mismatches, USB 3.0 devices will use the xHCI bus, and USB 1.x/2.0 will use eHCI.
