|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm usb
|
|
.Nd Universal Serial Bus
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
usb_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh USERLAND PROGRAMMING
|
|
USB functions can be accessed from userland through the libusb library.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr libusb 3
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fx
|
|
provides machine-independent bus support and drivers for
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
devices in host and device side mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has three layers:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
|
|
.It USB Controller (Bus)
|
|
.It USB Device
|
|
.It USB Driver
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The controller attaches to a physical bus
|
|
like
|
|
.Xr pci 4 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
bus attaches to the controller, and the root hub attaches
|
|
to the controller.
|
|
Any devices attached to the bus will attach to the root hub
|
|
or another hub attached to the
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
bus.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm uhub
|
|
device will always be present as it is needed for the root hub.
|
|
.Sh INTRODUCTION TO USB
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
is a system where external devices can be connected to a PC.
|
|
The most common USB speeds are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
|
|
.It Low Speed (1.5MBit/sec)
|
|
.It Full Speed (12MBit/sec)
|
|
.It High Speed (480MBit/sec)
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
has a USB controller that is the master of the bus.
|
|
The physical communication is simplex which means the host controller only
|
|
communicates with one USB device at a time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There can be up to 127 devices connected to an USB HUB tree.
|
|
The addresses are assigned dynamically by the host when each device is
|
|
attached to the bus.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Within each device there can be up to 16 endpoints.
|
|
Each endpoint is individually addressed and the addresses are static.
|
|
Each of these endpoints will communicate in one of four different modes:
|
|
.Em control , isochronous , bulk ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Em interrupt .
|
|
A device always has at least one endpoint.
|
|
This endpoint has address 0 and is a control endpoint and is used to give
|
|
commands to and extract basic data, such as descriptors, from the device.
|
|
Each endpoint, except the control endpoint, is unidirectional.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The endpoints in a device are grouped into interfaces.
|
|
An interface is a logical unit within a device, e.g., a compound device with
|
|
both a keyboard and a trackball, would present one interface for each.
|
|
An interface can sometimes be set into different modes, called alternate
|
|
settings, which affects how it operates.
|
|
Different alternate settings can have different endpoints within it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A device may operate in different configurations.
|
|
Depending on the configuration, the device may present different sets of
|
|
endpoints and interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The bus enumeration of the
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
bus proceeds in several steps:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Any interface specific driver can attach to the device.
|
|
.It
|
|
If none is found, generic interface class drivers can attach.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
The following variables are available as both
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables and
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
tunables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va hw.usb.debug
|
|
Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger values increase
|
|
debug message verbosity.
|
|
Default is 0.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module complies with the USB 2.0 standard.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module has been inspired by the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
USB stack initially written by
|
|
.An Lennart Augustsson .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module was written by
