Using usb image in bochs

[ZigZogZang]

Hey,
I am using current version 2.6.2 of Bochs. I have usb image that was saved using HxD and I would like to run this image with Bochs.

I don't know how to edit bochs config file to deal with it. I have found some tips about usb_uhci for bochs config file, but it seems to be old configuration and I didn't find any useful information how to do it for current stable version.

Please give me info how to edit bochs config file to use my usb image file, thank you!

Did you actually try options from the example config?
It looks like docs are up-to-date ( http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docboo ... T-USB-UHCI ), because they suggest the same syntax as in example config from SVN.

Yes i was using it

I have added now this line to bochs config file

usb_uhci: enabled=1, port1=disk:DISK.IMA

and after i run bochs -q it displayed:

Bochs is exiting with the following message:

I haven't found any info about any plugins for bochs like usb_uhci for example so what is the reason of this error ?

Well I have found some info that usb_uhci need to be installed on local computer, but is that real reason of it ? It doesn't make any sense, and why wouldn't it be available ?

It maybe that you have not compiled USB support into Bochs.

When you compile bochs from the sources, you can choose to enable or disable USB support with these options during configure:

--enable-usb Enable i440FX PCI USB support (UHCI). The host controller with 2-port root hub and 6 USB device types are available.
--enable-usb-ohci Enable USB OHCI support. The host controller with 2-port root hub is available (USB device types: same as UHCI).
--enable-usb-xhci Enable experimental USB xHCI support. The host controller with 4-port root hub is available (USB device types: same as UHCI).

None of these options is set by default so it is possible that in your case, it is disabled. You'll have to compile Bochs again to include this support.

Yea i have done it, but i added to my config:

usb_uhci: enabled=1, port1=disk:bootimg.ima
boot:disk

After i run bochs it says no bootable disk found

If i press F12 then its possible only to choose floppy/hard disk/cd rom, no usb device... why ?

Why ?
