Abstract
An apparatus and method for implementing virtual USB ports are described herein.
Claims29
A system comprising:
- a computer including:
- a processor, and
- a memory coupled to said processor, having:
- a first USB stack;
- and
- a first remote host controller function implementing a first virtual USB port;
- and
- an abstraction of a remote host controller;
- and
- a host controller, coupled with said computer, operating in combination with said abstraction of a remote host controller as a USB host controller of said computer.

A method of connecting a USB device to a host computer, the method comprising:
- coupling a remote host controller to a host computer having a first virtual machine including a first USB stack and a first remote host controller function implementing a first virtual USB port, and an abstraction of the remote host controller;
- and
- coupling a first USB device to a USB host controller of the remote host controller to couple the first USB device to the first virtual machine of the host computer.
A computing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to said processor, having:
- a first USB stack;
- and
- a first remote host controller function implementing a first virtual USB port;
- and
- an abstraction of a remote host controller.
