- usb - Irix USB subsystem
-
- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- This page documents the Irix USB implementation for Onyx3.
-
- The SN1 system Ibrick incorporates a USB host controller as part of the
- baseio device set. There are two usb ports, on one usb controller.
-
- DDDDeeeevvvviiiicccceeee TTTTooooppppoooollllooooggggyyyy
- The USB device topology is exported through a subtree in the hardware
- graph. The device topology format is subject to change over releases as
- the need arises, so it should not be relied on by scripts. Each usb
- driver (eg. keyboard, mouse) should export it's own namespace that can be
- relied on.
-
- Usb hwgraph paths are of the form:
-
- /hw/.../pci/<slot>/usb/<port_path>[/device_path]
-
- Where <slot> is 5 for the Ibrick internal usb controller. <port_path> is
- a '/' separated sequence of usb hub port numbers. Ports having a common
- parent belong to the same usb hub. Port components separated by a '/'
- are connected by a hub. For example:
-
- /hw/.../pci/5/usb/1
-
- refers to port 1 of the usb controller, or Root Hub in USB terminology.
-
- /hw/.../pci/5/usb/1/2
-
- refers to port 2 of the hub which is plugged into port 1 of the Root Hub.
-
- If a non-hub device is plugged into a port (and there is a driver for
- that device), a driver-specific path will be hung off of the port that
- the device is plugged into. In the example:
-
- /hw/.../pci/5/usb/2/3/keyboard
- /hw/.../pci/5/usb/2/4/mouse
-
- a driver has detected a keyboard device plugged into hub port 3, and a
- mouse plugged into hub port 4. The hub in this example is plugged into
- the Root Hub port 2.
-
- UUUUSSSSBBBB TTTTooooppppoooollllooooggggyyyy RRRRuuuulllleeeessss
- The following rules are enforced by the usb subsystem:
-
- - The maximum depth from root hub to end device cannot exceed 7,
- where the root hub (ie. controller) counts as 1. Stated
- another way, you can have 5 usb hubs between the root hub and
- an end device.

-
-
-
- - All hubs in a path must be self-powered with the exception of
- the one closest to the end device.
-
- - Devices plugged into a port of a bus-powered hub must be
- classified as low-power devices (max 100ma draw).
-
- HHHHuuuubbbb DDDDrrrriiiivvvveeeerrrr
- The Irix USB infrastructure implements the driver for USB hubs. Hubs
- conforming to the USB 1.1 spec are supported.
-
- HHHHooootttt PPPPlllluuuugggg
- The Irix USB implemtation supports hot plugging and unplugging of USB
- devices, within the constraints of the USB topology rules.
-
- A device that is hot plugged will be initialized to a default state by
- the usb subsystem, and then the appropriate driver (if any) will be
- called to do further driver specific initialization. Device
- initialization errors will generally be logged to the console, and the
- device will not be accessble.
-
- A device that is unplugged will have its entry removed from the USB
- hwgraph namespace. It is up to the individual drivers to do any driver-
- specific cleanup at unplug time.
-
- RRRReeeesssseeeetttt
- There is no general usb administrative command. If a device needs to be
- reset, it should be unplugged, and replugged.
-
- NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEESSSS
- The SGI USB implemtation is a partial implementation, intended to provide
- support for selected keyboards and mice (see usbinput(7)) for Onyx3.
- Currently there is no administrative command for individual device
- control, and there is no support for devices other than keyboard/mouse.
-
- Likewise, the usb infrastructure provides no published api for the
- implentation of new usb drivers.
-
- Only controllers conforming to the OpenHCI spec are supported.
