368e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Nm ehci
378e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Nd USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
388e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Sh SYNOPSIS
398e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Cd "device ehci"
408e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Sh DESCRIPTION
418e13d96bSTom RhodesThe
428e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Nm
438e13d96bSTom Rhodesdriver provides support for the
448e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
458e13d96bSTom RhodesEnhanced Host Controller Interface,
468e13d96bSTom Rhodeswhich is used by
478e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
488e13d96bSTom Rhodes2.0 controllers.
498e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Pp
508e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn EHCI
518e13d96bSTom Rhodescontrollers are peculiar in that they can only handle the
528e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
538e13d96bSTom Rhodes2.0 protocol.
548e13d96bSTom RhodesThis means that they normally have one or more companion controllers
558e13d96bSTom Rhodes(i.e.,
568e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Xr ohci 4
578e13d96bSTom Rhodesor
588e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Xr uhci 4 )
598e13d96bSTom Rhodeshandling USB 1.x devices.
608e13d96bSTom RhodesConsequently each
618e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
628e13d96bSTom Rhodesconnector is electrically connected to two
638e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
648e13d96bSTom Rhodescontrollers.
658e13d96bSTom RhodesThe handling of this is totally automatic,
668e13d96bSTom Rhodesbut can be noticed since
678e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
688e13d96bSTom Rhodes1.x and
698e13d96bSTom Rhodes.Tn USB
708e13d96bSTom Rhodes2.0 devices plugged in to the same
718e13d96bSTom Rhodesconnector appear to connect to different USB busses.

84*4e8eb2e0SEitan Adler.Cd options USB_DEBUG ,
85*4e8eb2e0SEitan Adlersome tunables become available that affect the behavior of
86*4e8eb2e0SEitan Adler.Nm .
87*4e8eb2e0SEitan AdlerThese tunables can be set at the
