.. _hostbridge_virt_hld: Host Bridge Emulation ###################### Overview ******** Host bridge emulation is based on PCI emulation; however, the host bridge emulation only sets the PCI configuration space. The Device Model (DM) sets the PCI configuration space for host bridge in the Service VM and then exposes it to the User VM to detect the PCI host bridge. PCI Host Bridge and Hierarchy ***************************** For PCI host bridge emulation, the bus hierarchy is determined by ``acrn-dm`` command line input. Using this command line, as an example:: acrn-dm -m $mem_size -s 0:0,hostbridge \ -s 5,virtio-console,@stdio:stdio_port \ -s 6,virtio-hyper_dmabuf \ -s 3,virtio-blk,/home/acrn/UserVM.img \ -s 4,virtio-net,tap=tap0,mac_seed=$mac_seed \ -s 7,virtio-rnd \ --ovmf /usr/share/acrn/bios/OVMF.fd \ $logger_setting \ $vm_name the bus hierarchy would be: .. code-block:: console # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Network Appliance Corporation Device 1275 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] 00:03.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc.
