devu-ehci.so

Driver for Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) USB controllers


Note: You must be root to start this driver.

Syntax:

io-usb -d ehci [option[,option...]] &

Runs on:

x86, MIPS, ARM, PPC, and SH

Options:

int_thresh=num
Interrupt microframe threshold. Valid values are 1,2,4,8,16,32,64.
ioport=addr
Register the base address. The default is to scan the PCI bus.
irq=num
The interrupt request number.
nosmm
Do not disable system management. Default is disable.
num_ed=num
Number of endpoint descriptors to preallocate.
num_td=num
Number of transfer descriptors to preallocate.
pindex=num
Instance of controller on PCI bus to apply argument.
verbose=num
Set verbosity level.

Description:

The devu-ehci.so server provides support for computers that have Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) USB controllers. This server creates the /dev/io-usb/devu-ehci.so device.

Examples:

Scan PCI bus for all available controllers.

io-usb -dehci

If you specify arguments you'll need to include pindex arguments for all controllers you wish to use. The value for the pindex argument should start from 0. Attach to the 1st and 3rd controller instance and set the verbose argument on the 1st, as follows:

io-usb -dehci pindex=0,verbose=4,pindex=2 &
