13.Nd illumos USB Architecture (USBA)
14.Sh DESCRIPTION
15USB provides a low-cost means for attaching peripheral devices, including
16mass-storage devices, keyboards, mice, and printers, to a system.
17For complete information on the USB architecture, visit the USB website at
18http://www.usb.org.
19.Pp
20USBA supports 126 hot-pluggable USB devices per USB bus.
21The maximum data transfer rate is 5 Gbits (SuperSpeed USB 3.0), 480 Mbits (high
22speed USB 2.0), 12 Mbits (full speed USB 1.x), or 1.5 Mbits (low speed USB 1.x).
23.Pp
24USBA adheres to the
25.Em Universal Serial Bus 3.0
26specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to USB client
27drivers.
28.Pp
29For information on how to write USB client drivers, see
30.Em Writing Device Drivers .
31For the latest information on writing USB drivers, visit
32.Em http://illumos.org/books/wdd .
33For a complete list of USBA interfaces, see
34.Xr Intro 9F

36.Xr Intro 9S .
37.Pp
38Devices without a driver may be able to leverage libusb.
