21*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy usb@unit-address
22*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sh DESCRIPTION
23*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe
24*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
25*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver supports PCI devices that implement versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the
26*bbf21555SRichard LoweExtensible Host Controller Interface Specification.
27*bbf21555SRichard LoweThese devices provide support for USB 3.0, USB 2.x, and USB 1.x devices and is
28*bbf21555SRichard Loweintegrated into the broader illumos USB Architecture (USBA).
29*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Pp
30*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe
31*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
32*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver supports all four USB transfer types:
33*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy bulk transfers ,
34*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy control transfers ,
35*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy interrupt transfers ,
36*bbf21555SRichard Loweand
37*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy isochronous transfers .
38*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Pp
39*bbf21555SRichard LoweAdministrators do not interact with the
40*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
41*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver directly.
42*bbf21555SRichard LoweUSB devices are managed with
43*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Xr cfgadm 8 .
44*bbf21555SRichard LoweSee
45*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Xr cfgadm_usb 8
46*bbf21555SRichard Lowefor more information on how to specifically manage USB devices and how
47*bbf21555SRichard Lowethey are laid out in the system.
48*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Xr cfgadm 8
49*bbf21555SRichard Loweis only used to manage devices at a USB level.
50*bbf21555SRichard LoweFor example, a USB NIC would still be managed with
51*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Xr dladm 8
52*bbf21555SRichard Loweat a networking level.
53*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Pp
54*bbf21555SRichard LoweOn some x86 systems USB ports may be routed to either an instance of the
55*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
56*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver or an instance of the
57*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Xr ehci 4D
58*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver.
59*bbf21555SRichard LoweBy default, all such ports are routed to the
60*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
61*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver, allowing those devices to operate at USB 3.x speed by default.
62*bbf21555SRichard LoweThis is most common on Intel platforms and chipsets.
63*bbf21555SRichard LoweWhile this is controlled with the
64*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy xhci-reroute
65*bbf21555SRichard Loweproperty discussed below, changing it may not be sufficient to change
66*bbf21555SRichard Lowethe behavior.
67*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe BIOS or ACPI data for many x86 systems may toggle this automatically.
68*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sh PROPERTIES
69*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe
70*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
71*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver supports the following properties which may be tuned in the

78*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe
79*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy xhci-reroute
80*bbf21555SRichard Loweproperty determines whether or not USB ports are re-routed to the
81*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Nm
82*bbf21555SRichard Lowedriver.
83*bbf21555SRichard LoweThe default behavior is to route such ports.
84*bbf21555SRichard LoweTo disable this, the property should be set to
85*bbf21555SRichard Lowe.Sy 0 .
86*bbf21555SRichard LoweAny other value, or the lack of the property, cause the default behavior
87*bbf21555SRichard Loweto take place.
