3.4.7. USB Disk Device
This device corresponds to a model of a generic USB Mass Storage device. There are two classes of USB disk devices supported as board devices (both are USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatible):
- High-Speed USB disk: It is also compatible with USB 2.0 and must be connected to a USB2 port.
Component: usb3_disk_hs_comp
- SuperSpeed USB disk. This disk must be connected to a USB3 port
Component: usb3_disk_comp
Both USB disks can be configured with a size limited to 64 TB, although the actual disk size is taken from the assigned image. The image to be loaded into the disk must be provided as part of the parameters defined in the virtual platform target script. The Intel® Simics® model of the devices implements a simple SCSI controller and supports control and bulk transfers. The model supports the hot-plug feature. Use the following Intel® Simics® commands to handle USB device operations:
Command | Parameter | Purpose |

load-file | file |
Command for assigning an image file to the USB disk. |
plug | port |
