Setup needed to use pass-through PCI devices
If you want to use any pass-through PCI devices with this updated hypervisor version, you need to modify your host buildfile and your VM configuration.
In your host buildfile, add the following library file and binary:
# PCI Multiplexer Client API
/lib/libpci_mux.so=libpci_mux.so
# PCI Multiplexer Service, used by QNX Hypervisor
/sbin/pci-connector=pci-connector
Then, run the PCI multiplexer service (which is included with
QNX Hypervisor) by adding the following to the startup script,
at any time after pci-server is started:
# Start PCI Multiplexer service for QNX Hypervisor
# Note that the -n option determines what path a guest configuration should
# use with its "set pci-mux-path /dev/<insert -n argument here>" option
# to enable any host PCI devices that are to be passed through to the guest
# (e.g. "set pci-mux-path /dev/pci_mux").
pci-connector -n pci_mux
In the configuration of the VM that will pass through the devices to the guest,
ensure the path for /dev/pci_mux matches that in the
-n option passed to pci-connector above.
Add the following lines (in addition to your PCI pass-throughs, whatever
those might be):
set pci-mux-path /dev/pci_muxUpdates and fixed issues
The following issues are fixed in this update. To find a specific issue,

| Description | Applicable Architecture(s) | Application-Level Impact | System-Level Impact | Reference Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support for memory-mapped and system registers has been added for guests that use GIC version 2. | AArch64 | None | To use GIC version 2, add this line to the VM configuration:
vdev gic version 2 |
2988683 |
| The pass sched VM configuration option has been fixed to set the pulse priority for interrupts. | General | None | None | 2984876 |
| The guest power state implementation has been fixed so the correct code runs when the conditions configured for power state notification are met. | AArch64 | None | None | 2984456 |
