I upgrated my proxmos v2.2 to v2.3 .
after the upgrade the usb_add in monitor does not work anymore.


# info usbhost Bus 9, Addr 2, Port 2, Speed 5000 Mb/s Class 00: USB device 1b8f:0311, EXPRESS ST1 # usb_add host:1b8f:0311 could not add USB device 'host:1b8f:0311'

in version v2.2 it worked normaly.

is ther a way to connct the dongel again

best regards.
 
Same problem here... add_usb is broken since upgrade to 2.3. Filter in vm.conf works.
As we _again_ have massive problems with one Windows 2008 VM generating >1000 interrupts when using a HASP HL key I'd need to connect/disconnect USB-devices with a running VM. Currently I have to stop/start the VM every time which slows down testing by factor 20...

add_usb is a really old qemu syntax and shouldn't be use anymore

new syntax is :


device_add usb-host,hostbus=xxxx,hostport=xxxx

or

device_add usb-host,vendorid=xxxx,productid=xxxxx


Please note that adding the usb in vmconfig file, activate usb2 controller. without usb in config file, only usb1 is enabled
 
Thanks, the syntax with "hostbus/hostport" works! :)

Also the information about USB 1.1/2.0 was quite useful as i can now bypass the windows vista/2008 usbport.sys bug (high interrupt load) which seems to be only present when using USB2.0 (at least in my case with an HASP dongle)
