Virtualizing USB Kernel Mode Debug (KMD) Class to Guest OS for Native OS-Like Debug Experience

Editor’s notes: Virtualization of personal computers enables supporting additional operating systems without rebooting to enhance user productivity. However, a lack of developer experience, such as failing to support debugging, can severely limit the potential of virtualization. This article presents a virtualization technique for USB kernel mode to address this limitation. —Umit Ogras, University of Wisconsin, USA
