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
