.Dt EHCI 4
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ehci
|
|
.Nd USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device ehci"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
Enhanced Host Controller Interface,
|
|
which is used by
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
2.0 controllers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Tn EHCI
|
|
controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
2.0 protocol.
|
|
This means that they normally have one or more companion controllers
|
|
(i.e.,
|
|
.Xr ohci 4
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr uhci 4 )
|
|
handling USB 1.x devices.
|
|
Consequently each
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
connector is electrically connected to two
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
controllers.
|
|
The handling of this is totally automatic,
|
|
but can be noticed since
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
1.x and
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
2.0 devices plugged in to the same
|
|
connector appear to connect to different USB busses.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr ohci 4 ,
|
|
.Xr uhci 4 ,
|
|
.Xr usb 4
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.1 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver is not finished and is quite buggy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently there is no support for hubs that are connected with high speed upstream
|
|
and low or full speed downstream (i.e., for transaction translators).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is also no support for interrupt or isochronous transfers. |
