How to Faking a PCI or USB device.

[Pranay Kumar Srivastava]

Hi Everyone,

I'm learning how to write PCI and USB device drivers however I don't have any real device to work with. Most articles I read either have some USB device(real) or they just tell "how it works(like structures and api)".

Is it possible to fake such a device that probably does nothing but I can say modify some parameters of the fake device? In short is it possible to devise a fake configuration address space of the fake device and try to use it (completely in memory device)?.  If it can be done please give me some pointers.

Thanks for reading!
