PCI Passthrough

[SadiqJohn]

I have an M2 Mac Pro and attached PCI devices, I thought it might be an issue I'm causing but trying different RHEL linux flavors I'm not sure if it's me or that UTM doesn't support PCI passthrough for devices.

Does the host need drivers installed for the devices so they can be seen by the guest? (I dont have a macOS driver for the components that's why I am running everything on the virtual machine)

if not then could this be an area explored to extend UTM capability to have a PCI selection option connected to the guest Virtual Machine?

is there a temporary workaround for this so that the PCI device be recognized by the guest system?

Configuration

UTM Version: 4.4.5 (94)
macOS Version: Sonoma 14.4.1
Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M2
