Status update on PCI express
support in qemu
|
|
Abstract
|
This presentation is update
of my last presentation which I gave at the summit in Shanghai. In this
presentation, the on-going development for PCI express support in qemu
and its status will be shown. Currently passing through of PCI is
supported and PCI express device can be passed through as PCI device.
However it can't as PCI express natively. PCI express has more features
than PCI like MMCONFIG, native hot plug (not ACPI based),
ARI(Alternative Route ID), AER(Advanced Error Reporting) and stuff. It
requires to enhance QEMU and BIOS. The issues for PCI express will be
discussed in this session.
