33.Dt EHCI 4
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm ehci
37.Nd USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "device ehci"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43driver provides support for the
44.Tn USB
45Enhanced Host Controller Interface,
46which is used by
47.Tn USB
482.0 controllers.
49.Pp
50.Tn EHCI
51controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the
52.Tn USB
532.0 protocol.
54This means that they normally have one or more companion controllers
55(i.e.,
56.Xr ohci 4
57or
58.Xr uhci 4 )
59handling USB 1.x devices.
60Consequently each
61.Tn USB
62connector is electrically connected to two
63.Tn USB
64controllers.
65The handling of this is totally automatic,
66but can be noticed since
67.Tn USB
681.x and
69.Tn USB
702.0 devices plugged in to the same
71connector appear to connect to different USB buses.
72.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
73When the kernel has been compiled with
74.Cd options USB_DEBUG ,
75some tunables become available that affect the behavior of
76.Nm .
77These tunables can be set at the
78.Xr loader 8
79prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
80.Xr loader.conf 5 .
81.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
82.It Va hw.usb.ehci.lostintrbug
83This tunable enables the lost interrupt quirk.
84The default value is 0 (off).
85.It Va hw.usb.ehci.iaadbug
86This tunable enables the EHCI doorbell quirk.
87The default value is 0 (off).
88.It Va hw.usb.ehci.no_hs
89This tunable disables USB devices to attach like HIGH-speed ones and will force all attached devices to attach to the FULL- or LOW-speed companion controller.
90The default value is 0 (off).
91.El
92.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
93The following variables are available as both
94.Xr sysctl 8
95variables and
96.Xr loader 8
97tunables:
98.Bl -tag -width indent
99.It Va hw.usb.ehci.debug
100Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger values increase
101debug message verbosity.
102Default is 0.
103.El
104.Sh SEE ALSO
105.Xr ohci 4 ,
106.Xr uhci 4 ,
107.Xr usb 4 ,
108.Xr xhci 4
109.Sh HISTORY
110The
111.Nm
112device driver first appeared in
113.Fx 5.1 .
