Description
This guide introduces the USB/IP runner and shows how it can be used to simulate a Nitrokey 3 device.
https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-3-firmware/blob/main/docs/usbip.md
That would resolve most of my qemu (tcg, not kvm) problems in HOTP testing, and most of automated testings needs (outside of #1203)
