title: Fake PCI Device for Virtual Machine
body: <h1>Background</h1>
  <p>I am working on a project that has a PCI card connected to a Linux computer. The PCI card is a custom card and, as such the Linux computer has a custom driver.</p>
  <p>We have recently switched to virtual machines for our software development environment. It would be a huge help to be able to mimic the functionality of the PCI device in a way in which the VM could interact.</p>
  <h1>Question</h1>
  <p>Is there a way to create a fake/virtual PCI device that would interface with the development Virtual Machine? The &quot;virtual device&quot; would ideally be software that ran on the Virtual Machine host (the developer's computer).</p>
