The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named 'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506). A policy for 'report_rom' would look like: <policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/> If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support. The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in the '.vbox' file. Example: <USB> <DeviceFilters> <DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9" productId="2220" remote="0"/> </DeviceFilters> </USB> The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack). It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.
