69driver has three layers (like 70.Xr scsi 4 71and 72.Xr pcmcia 4 ) : 73the controller, the bus, and the device layer. 74The controller attaches to a physical bus (like 75.Xr pci 4 76or 77.Xr cardbus 4 ) . 78The USB bus attaches to the controller and the root hub attaches 79to the USB bus. 80Devices, which may include further hubs, attach to the root hub. 81The attachment forms the same tree structure as the physical USB 82device tree. 83For each USB device there may be additional drivers attached to it. 84.Pp 85The 86.Cm uhub 87driver controls USB hubs and must always be present since there is 88at least one root hub in any USB system. 89.Pp 90The 91.Cm flags 92are used to specify if the devices on the USB bus should be probed 93early in the boot process. 94If the 95.Cm flags 96are specified with a value of 1, the USB bus will be probed when 97the USB host device is attached instead of waiting until kernel 98processes start running. 99.Pp 100.Ox 101provides support for the following devices. 102Note that not all architectures support all devices. 103.Ss Storage devices 104.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset ind -compact 105.It Xr umass 4 106USB Mass Storage Devices, e.g.,

304USB 3 can operate up to 5.0Gb/s. 305USB 2 operates at 480Mb/s, while USB versions 1 and 1.1 operate at 30612 Mb/s and 1.5 Mb/s for low speed devices. 307Each USB has a host controller that is the master of the bus; 308all other devices on the bus only speak when spoken to. 309.Pp 310There can be up to 127 devices (apart from the host controller) 311on a bus, each with its own address. 312The addresses are assigned 313dynamically by the host when each device is attached to the bus. 314.Pp 315Within each device there can be up to 16 endpoints. 316Each endpoint 317is individually addressed and the addresses are static. 318Each of these endpoints will communicate in one of four different modes: 319control, isochronous, bulk, or interrupt. 320A device always has at least one endpoint. 321This is a control endpoint at address 0 322and is used to give commands to the device and extract basic data, 323such as descriptors, from the device. 324Each endpoint, except the control endpoint, is unidirectional. 325.Pp 326The endpoints in a device are grouped into interfaces. 327An interface is a logical unit within a device; e.g., 328a compound device with both a keyboard and a trackball would present 329one interface for each. 330An interface can sometimes be set into different modes, 331called alternate settings, which affects how it operates. 332Different alternate settings can have different endpoints 333within it. 334.Pp 335A device may operate in different configurations. 336Depending on the 337configuration the device may present different sets of endpoints 338and interfaces. 339.Pp 340Each device located on a hub has several 341.Xr config 8 342locators: 343.Pp 344.Bl -tag -width configuration -compact 345.It Cd port 346Number of the port on closest upstream hub. 347.It Cd configuration 348Configuration the device must be in for this driver to attach. 349This locator does not set the configuration; it is iterated by the bus 350enumeration. 351.It Cd interface 352Interface number within a device that an interface driver attaches to. 353.It Cd vendor 35416-bit vendor ID of the device. 355.It Cd product 35616-bit product ID of the device. 357.It Cd release 35816-bit release (revision) number of the device. 359.El 360.Pp 361The first locator can be used to pin down a particular device 362according to its physical position in the device tree. 363The last three locators can be used to pin down a particular 364device according to what device it actually is. 365.Pp 366The bus enumeration of the USB bus proceeds in several steps: 367.Bl -enum 368.It 369Any device-specific driver can attach to the device. 370.It 371If none is found, any device class specific driver can attach. 372.It 373If none is found, all configurations are iterated over. 374For each configuration all the interfaces are iterated over and interface 375drivers can attach. 376If any interface driver attached in a certain 377configuration, the iteration over configurations is stopped. 378.It 379If still no drivers have been found, the generic USB driver can attach. 380.El 381.Sh USB CONTROLLER INTERFACE 382Use the following to get access to the USB specific structures 383and defines: 384.Bd -literal -offset indent 385#include <dev/usb/usb.h> 386.Ed 387.Pp 388The 389.Pa /dev/usbN 390device can be opened and a few operations can be performed on
