@section USB emulation
QEMU emulates a PCI UHCI USB controller and a 8 port USB hub connected
to it. You can virtually plug to the hub virtual USB devices or real
host USB devices (experimental, works only on Linux hosts).
QEMU emulates a PCI UHCI USB controller. You can virtually plug
virtual USB devices or real host USB devices (experimental, works only
on Linux hosts). Qemu will automatically create and connect virtual USB hubs
as neccessary to connect multiple USB devices.

@subsection Connecting USB devices
A virtual USB mouse device is available for testing in QEMU.
USB devices can be connected with the @option{-usbdevice} commandline option
or the @code{usb_add} monitor command. Available devices are:
You can try it with the following monitor commands:
@example
# add the mouse device
(qemu) usb_add mouse
# show the virtual USB devices plugged on the QEMU Virtual USB hub
(qemu) info usb
Device 0.3, speed 12 Mb/s
# after some time you can try to remove the mouse
(qemu) usb_del 0.3
@end example
The option @option{-usbdevice} is similar to the monitor command
@code{usb_add}.
@table @var
@item @code{mouse}
Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
@item @code{tablet}
Pointer device that uses abolsute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
This means qemu is able to report the mouse position without having
to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
@item @code{disk:file}
Mass storage device based on @var{file} (@pxref{disk_images})
@item @code{host:bus.addr}
