QEMU/Devices

QEMU provides several virtual hardware devices, which will be documented on this page.

How to add a device

You can add a virtual device to QEMU by specifying an argument, usually the -device argument, although there are many others as well.

You can also add them while the VM is running by switching to the console and using the device_add (device) command.

An example command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -device devicename,modifier1=value1,modifier2=value2 ...
