Title:
Allow setting usb storage device ID parameters
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Some stubborn software requires certain VID/PID/Serial to authenticate
and refuses to start in emulation. This poses a problem with
unsupported programs which often require keeping an ancient hardware
praying that the USB stick will not die before the (often defunct)
company making it.
Virtualizing such environment is desired. However, QEMU doesn't allow
setting VID/PID/Serial/Name of emulated USB devices, but instead uses
hardcoded values:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/c99fa56b95a72f6debd50a280561895d078ae020/hw/usb
/dev-storage.c#L95
This request (including a patch) was already made in 2015 on the list
but never got any response: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html
/qemu-discuss/2015-07/msg00072.html
WDYT of adding such functionality?
