Hi, > 1. Does have ready-to-wear interface to get QOM path by qdev id,?
You can simply use the id directly. Try this: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp,server,nowait \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \ -drive if=none,id=cdrom,media=cdrom \ -device scsi-cd,id=testcd,drive=cdrom & export QMP_SOCKET=/tmp/qmp scripts/qmp/qom-list testcd scripts/qmp/qom-get testcd.bootindex Builtin devices without ID are a bit more tricky. But you can also reference busses by name, which simplifies it a bit. Floppy for example is here: scripts/qmp/qom-list isa.0/child[11] [ Side note: The full path for this one is "/machine/i440fx/pci.0/child[1]/isa.0/child[11]" ] I have my doubts that "11" is guaranteed to be stable. But you can walk all isa.0 children and check the type this way to figure: scripts/qmp/qom-get isa.0/child[11].type > 2. Can I make bootindex property in QDEV coexist with in QOM? I think this > meathod > will be good for compatibility with previous. qdev properties are just some compatibility fluff around qom properties these days. You can remove the qdev property, add a qom property with the same name and things will continue to work just fine. And you now can use qom features which are not supported by the qdev property compatibility bits. HTH, Gerd
