I want to get Android or iOS on QEMU with USB passthrough so that I can isolate it and pass it its own modem. (say a Quectel modem via a miniPCIe to USB card)

Is this possible as it stands? At least in bits and pieces I can put together?

Android should definitely be possible. The emulator that comes with the SDK already uses QEMU under the hood.

In that case I wonder if the guest OS would pick up the AT interface of the modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.

Especially on an M1, perhaps running the arm builds wouldn't have too much overhead either, even though there are x86-64 images available as well.
