Ability to add advanced qemu arguments to a VM

yllwfsh opened this issue · comments

First of all, thanks for the awesome improvements you made to ACVM! It's so easy to manage a few dev VMs right now!

Is there maybe a possibility to add a tab/box for advanced qemu CLI startup arguments to be added for those who are used to qemu (e.g. to add usb passthrough)?

Currently I do this by using custom launch scripts for my VMs but it would be awesome if it could be integrated in ACVM.

For example to pass through a (currently unsupported by macOS) CH340 USB Serial chip to Ubuntu VM:

-device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb \
-usb -device usb-host,productid=0x7523,vendorid=0x1a86 \

The code is already there, but not released.

Fantastic! Waiting patiently then :)

you can try to build the code yourself from the vm-manager branch ;). I can build it, but I don't have Ben's key to sign the app.

Okay I might give that a shot if I find the time!
