DESCRIPTION
Device driver access to the USB bus centers around transfers. A transfer describes a communication with a USB device. A transfer is an abstract concept that can result in several physical packets being transferred to or from a device. A transfer is described by the usbd_xfer_handle cookie. A pipe is a logical connection to a USB device. It is described by the usbd_pipe_handle cookie. See the TRANSFERS and PIPES sections for more details.

There are a number of functions to obtain a handle, descriptor of resource count:

usbd_device2interface_handle(dev, ifaceno, iface)
    Fills in iface with the usbd_interface_handle for the USB device dev on interface number ifaceno.

usbd_interface2device_handle(iface, dev)
    Fills in dev with the usbd_device_handle pointer for interface iface.

usbd_pipe2device_handle(pipe)
    Returns the usbd_device_handle associated with pipe.

usbd_interface2endpoint_descriptor(iface, address)
    Returns the usb_endpoint_descriptor_t * for the particular interface iface at address address.

usbd_endpoint_count(dev, count)

usbd_interface_count(dev, count)
    Fills in count with the number of endpoint or interfaces the USB device dev has.

Error handling and other return values are described in usbd_status(9).

Additional comments on particular functions:

usbd_errstr(err)
    Returns the string associated with err.

usbd_add_dev_event(type, iface)
    The type must be one of USB_EVENT_CTRLR_ATTACH, USB_EVENT_CTRLR_DETACH, USB_EVENT_DEVICE_ATTACH and USB_EVENT_DEVICE_DETACH.

usbd_add_drv_event(type, iface, dv)
    The type must be one of USB_EVENT_DRIVER_ATTACH and USB_EVENT_DRIVER_DETACH. The dv corresponds with the device_t associated with the device attached or detached.

usb_lookup(tbl, vendor, product)
    Lookup a USB device. The returned struct usb_devno pointer has these members:
    u_int16_t ud_vendor;
    u_int16_t ud_product;
    The USB_PRODUCT_ANY macro can be used to match any USB product by a particular vendor.

PIPES
Pipes are created and destroyed by using the usbd_open_pipe(), usbd_open_pipe_intr() and usbd_close_pipe() functions. The open functions take the interface handle iface, the address of this pipe and flags for this pipe which currently may be 0, or a combination of USBD_EXCLUSIVE_USE, to enable exclusive access to this interface and address, and USBD_MPSAFE, to allow running transfer callbacks on this pipe without first acquiring kernel_lock. The usbd_open_pipe_intr() takes additional arguments priv to set the default private handle. buffer and len to describe the buffer to be used, callback for the function to call at interrupt time, and finally the interval for interrupts to be delivered in milliseconds. The interval may be set to USBD_DEFAULT_INTERVAL use the default interval, specified by the ep. description. It is common to have more than one pipe per device.

TRANSFERS
Transfers are allocated and deallocated with usbd_alloc_xfer() and usbd_free_xfer(), respectively, and are associated with a pipe at their creation time.

The data describing the transfer is filled by either usbd_setup_default_xfer() for control pipe transfers, by usbd_setup_xfer() for bulk and interrupt transfers, and by usbd_setup_isoc_xfer() for isochronous transfers. Private data may be passed between setup and completion or status calls using the usbd_private_handle priv argument, which must be an integral type.

Arguments to the setup functions include the newly allocated xfer, the pipe to associate this transfer with, the private data priv, the timeout in milliseconds, for control, bulk and interrupt transfers buffer the data to transfer and its length and for isochronous transfers the frame length frlengths and number of frames nframes, and for default transfers a USB request structure req must be presented. See the INITIALISING USB REQUESTS section for more details on USB requests.

The transfer specific flags that can be set are:

USBD_NO_COPY
    Do not copy data to DMA buffer

USBD_SYNCHRONOUS
    Wait for completion

USBD_SYNCHRONOUS_SIG
    When waiting for completion, allow signals to trigger wake up.

USBD_SHORT_XFER_OK
    Short reads are not an error

USBD_FORCE_SHORT_XFER
    Force last short packet on write

To allocate buffers suitable for USB tranfers (i.e., DMA capable), the usbd_alloc_buffer() function should be used on the specified xfer for size bytes of space. The usbd_free_buffer() function can be used to free the buffer after use. The usbd_get_buffer() function returns the current kernel address for the DMA-capable buffer in xfer.

Upon completion the callback function is called, which takes the completed xfer, the private data priv originally assocated with this transfer, and status the status of this transfer.

Transfers are initiated by calling usbd_transfer(), and their results made be later obtained by calling usbd_get_xfer_status, which fills in the private data priv, original buffer location buffer, the length length, and the status of this request.

The usbd_bulk_transfer() and usbd_intr_transfer() functions are used to transfer data in either an interrupt or bulk fashion, and are front-ends to the usbd_setup_xfer(), usbd_transfer() and usbd_get_xfer_status(), as well as associated error handling. The lbl option is deprecated and will be removed. The usbd_sync_transfer() is identical to usbd_transfer() with the USBD_SYNCHRONOUS flag set. The usbd_sync_transfer_sig() is identical to usbd_transfer() with the USBD_SYNCHRONOUS and USBD_SYNCHRONOUS_SIG flags set.

Transfers are aborted via this pipe with usbd_abort_pipe() and usbd_abort_default_pipe().

The usbd_clear_endpoint_stall() and usbd_clear_endpoint_stall_async() functions are used to clear endpoint halt in either a synchronous or asynchronous fashion. To clear the toggle state of an endpoint the usbd_clear_endpoint_toggle() function should be used.

A request is described by a usb_device_request_t which must be initialised as necessary before calling either usbd_do_request() or usbd_do_request_flags() to submit the request. For both these functions dev is the handle of the USB device the request is for, req is the USB request, as described in the INITIALISING USB REQUESTS section, and then data is a buffer containing the data for the request. For the usbd_do_request_flags() function there are additional flags passed to the usbd_setup function, actlen a pointer to fill in with the actual length of this request, and timo, the number of milliseconds to wait before timing out this request.

INITIALISING USB REQUESTS
There are 5 members of a usb_device_request_t that must be initialised:

uByte bmRequestType;
uByte bRequest;
uWord wValue;
uWord wIndex;
uWord wLength;

The first two are normal byte values that may be simply assigned, but the last three must be initialised with the USETW() macro.

The bmRequestType holds the request type of this USB request, which describes the indended recipient of the request.

This may be one of:
UT_WRITE
UT_READ

with one of:
UT_STANDARD
UT_CLASS
UT_VENDOR

and with one of:
UT_DEVICE
UT_INTERFACE
UT_ENDPOINT
UT_OTHER

These are also in combinations as:
UT_READ_DEVICE
UT_READ_INTERFACE
UT_READ_ENDPOINT
UT_WRITE_DEVICE
UT_WRITE_INTERFACE
UT_WRITE_ENDPOINT
UT_READ_CLASS_DEVICE
UT_READ_CLASS_INTERFACE
UT_READ_CLASS_OTHER
UT_READ_CLASS_ENDPOINT
UT_WRITE_CLASS_DEVICE
UT_WRITE_CLASS_INTERFACE
UT_WRITE_CLASS_OTHER
UT_WRITE_CLASS_ENDPOINT
UT_READ_VENDOR_DEVICE
UT_READ_VENDOR_INTERFACE
UT_READ_VENDOR_OTHER
UT_READ_VENDOR_ENDPOINT
UT_WRITE_VENDOR_DEVICE
UT_WRITE_VENDOR_INTERFACE
UT_WRITE_VENDOR_OTHER
UT_WRITE_VENDOR_ENDPOINT

The bRequest describes which request is being made. The available values are:
UR_GET_STATUS
UR_CLEAR_FEATURE
UR_SET_FEATURE
UR_SET_ADDRESS
UR_GET_DESCRIPTOR
UR_SET_DESCRIPTOR

The wValue, wIndex and wLength are device-specific values and must be initialised with the USETW() macro.

USB REQUEST TYPES AND STRUCTURES
The UR_GET_STATUS request operates on a usb_status_t structure, which has this member:
uWord wStatus;

For device status requests the wStatus member may have either of these bit flags set:
UDS_SELF_POWERED
UDS_REMOTE_WAKEUP

For endpoint status requests the wStatus member may have this bit flag set:
UES_HALT

The UR_CLEAR_FEATURE and UR_SET_FEATURE requests clear or set special features on USB devices. The values for wValue, wIndex and wLength depend upon the device and device type.

The UR_SET_ADDRESS request sets the virtual USB address of a port using the wValue.

The UR_GET_DESCRIPTOR and UR_SET_DESCRIPTOR requests operate on a usb_descriptor_t structure, which has these members:
uByte bLength;
uByte bDescriptorType;

The bDescriptorType member may be one of the following values:
UDESC_DEVICE
UDESC_CONFIG
UDESC_STRING
UDESC_INTERFACE
UDESC_ENDPOINT
UDESC_DEVICE_QUALIFIER
UDESC_OTHER_SPEED_CONFIGURATION
UDESC_INTERFACE_POWER
UDESC_OTG
UDESC_DEBUG
UDESC_INTERFACE_ASSOC
UDESC_CS_DEVICE
UDESC_CS_CONFIG
UDESC_CS_STRING
UDESC_CS_INTERFACE
UDESC_CS_ENDPOINT
UDESC_HUB

The usbd_set_interface() function can be used to change the index used for transfers on this interface as obtained via usbd_device2interface_handle().

USB DEVICE DETACHMENT
There are two functions available to ease the detach of active devices. Typically a reference count is maintained on syscall activity. When a USB device is to be detached, the reference count should be decremented and if it is greater or equal to zero, usb_detach_wait() should be called on the dv associated with this USB device and, typically, a device-specific condition variable cv. and mutex lk protecting this reference count state. At the end of each syscall function, if the reference count is decremented to less than zero, then usb_detach_broadcast() must be called on the dv and cv that is being waited on with usb_detach_wait().

The are another pair of functions with similar functionality that do not use a condition variable or mutex and should be avoided in new code. The usb_detach_waitold() function works like usb_detach_wait(), and the usb_detach_wakeupold() function works like usb_detach_broadcast().

USB TASK MANAGEMENT
The USB stack provides a task management framework to execute tasks in a thread context at the soonest opportunity. Typically this is used by network drivers to handle periodic updates or status change requests, or other operations that need to run in a normal context.

The usb_init_task() function takes a pointer to a struct usb_task that will be initalised, a function to call for this task func, the argument to pass to func, arg, and the task flags flags. If the flags argument is USB_TASKQ_MPSAFE, the func function will be called without first acquiring kernel_lock.

To invoke the task callback the usb_add_task() function should be called with the iface associated with this device, the task structure task, and the queue to run against, either USB_TASKQ_HC for operations initiated by host controllers or USB_TASKQ_DRIVER for operations initiated by USB drivers.

To deschedule a potentially running task the usb_rem_task() function should be called.

The driver using these facilities is expected to provide the necessary serialisation between usb_init_task(), usb_add_task() and usb_rem_task() for each specific struct usb_task.

HISTORY
This usbdi interface first appeared in NetBSD 1.4. The interface is based on an early definition from the OpenUSBDI group within the USB organisation. Right after this definition the OpenUSBDI development got closed for open source developers, so this interface has not followed the further changes. The OpenUSBDI specification is now available again, but looks different.

BUGS
This manual is under development, so its biggest shortcoming is incompleteness.
