The USB 2.0 standard is +compatible with the USB 1.1 standard. It defines three transfer speeds: + + - "High Speed" 480 Mbit/sec (60 MByte/sec) + - "Full Speed" 12 Mbit/sec (1.5 MByte/sec) + - "Low Speed" 1.5 Mbit/sec + +USB 1.1 only addressed full speed and low speed. High speed devices +can be used on USB 1.1 systems, but they slow down to USB 1.1 speeds. + +USB 1.1 devices may also be used on USB 2.0 systems. When plugged +into an EHCI controller, they are given to a USB 1.1 "companion" +controller, which is a OHCI or UHCI controller as normally used with +such devices. When USB 1.1 devices plug into USB 2.0 hubs, they +interact with the EHCI controller through a "Transaction Translator" +(TT) in the hub, which turns low or full speed transactions into +high speed "split transactions" that don't waste transfer bandwidth. + +At this writing, this driver has been seen to work with implementations +of EHCI from (in alphabetical order): Intel, NEC, Philips, and VIA. +Other EHCI implementations are becoming available from other vendors; +you should expect this driver to work with them too. + +While usb-storage devices have been available since mid-2001 (working +quite speedily on the 2.4 version of this driver), hubs have only +been available since late 2001, and other kinds of high speed devices +appear to be on hold until more systems come with USB 2.0 built-in. +Such new systems have been available since early 2002, and became much +more typical in the second half of 2002. + +Note that USB 2.0 support involves more than just EHCI. It requires +other changes to the Linux-USB core APIs, including the hub driver, +but those changes haven't needed to really change the basic "usbcore" +APIs exposed to USB device drivers. + +- David Brownell + <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> + + +Functionality +============= + +This driver is regularly tested on x86 hardware, and has also been +used on PPC hardware so big/little endianness issues should be gone. +It's believed to do all the right PCI magic so that I/O works even on +systems with interesting DMA mapping issues. + +Transfer Types +-------------- + +At this writing the driver should comfortably handle all control, bulk, +and interrupt transfers, including requests to USB 1.1 devices through +transaction translators (TTs) in USB 2.0 hubs. But you may find bugs. + +High Speed Isochronous (ISO) transfer support is also functional, but +at this writing no Linux drivers have been using that support. + +Full Speed Isochronous transfer support, through transaction translators, +is not yet available. Note that split transaction support for ISO +transfers can't share much code with the code for high speed ISO transfers, +since EHCI represents these with a different data structure. So for now, +most USB audio and video devices can't be connected to high speed buses. + +Driver Behavior +--------------- + +Transfers of all types can be queued. This means that control transfers +from a driver on one interface (or through usbfs) won't interfere with +ones from another driver, and that interrupt transfers can use periods +of one frame without risking data loss due to interrupt processing costs. + +The EHCI root hub code hands off USB 1.1 devices to its companion +controller. This driver doesn't need to know anything about those +drivers; a OHCI or UHCI driver that works already doesn't need to change +just because the EHCI driver is also present. + +There are some issues with power management; suspend/resume doesn't +behave quite right at the moment. + +Also, some shortcuts have been taken with the scheduling periodic +transactions (interrupt and isochronous transfers). These place some +limits on the number of periodic transactions that can be scheduled, +and prevent use of polling intervals of less than one frame. + + +Use by +====== + +Assuming you have an EHCI controller (on a PCI card or motherboard) +and have compiled this driver as a module, load this like:: + + # modprobe ehci-hcd + +and remove it by:: + + # rmmod ehci-hcd + +You should also have a driver for a "companion controller", such as +"ohci-hcd" or "uhci-hcd". In case of any trouble with the EHCI driver, +remove its module and then the driver for that companion controller will +take over (at lower speed) all the devices that were previously handled +by the EHCI driver. + +Module parameters (pass to "modprobe") include: + + log2_irq_thresh (default 0): + Log2 of default interrupt delay, in microframes. The default + value is 0, indicating 1 microframe (125 usec). Maximum value + is 6, indicating 2^6 = 64 microframes. This controls how often + the EHCI controller can issue interrupts. + +If you're using this driver on a 2.5 kernel, and you've enabled USB +debugging support, you'll see three files in the "sysfs" directory for +any EHCI controller: + + "async" + dumps the asynchronous schedule, used for control + and bulk transfers. Shows each active qh and the qtds + pending, usually one qtd per urb. (Look at it with + usb-storage doing disk I/O; watch the request queues!) + "periodic" + dumps the periodic schedule, used for interrupt + and isochronous transfers. Doesn't show qtds. + "registers" + show controller register state, and + +The contents of those files can help identify driver problems. + + +Device drivers shouldn't care whether they're running over EHCI or not, +but they may want to check for "usb_device->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH". +High speed devices can do things that full speed (or low speed) ones +can't, such as "high bandwidth" periodic (interrupt or ISO) transfers. +Also, some values in device descriptors (such as polling intervals for +periodic transfers) use different encodings when operating at high speed. + +However, do make a point of testing device drivers through USB 2.0 hubs. +Those hubs report some failures, such as disconnections, differently when +transaction translators are in use; some drivers have been seen to behave +badly when they see different faults than OHCI or UHCI report. + + +Performance +=========== + +USB 2.0 throughput is gated by two main factors: how fast the host +controller can process requests, and how fast devices can respond to +them. The 480 Mbit/sec "raw transfer rate" is obeyed by all devices, +but aggregate throughput is also affected by issues like delays between +individual high speed packets, driver intelligence, and of course the +overall system load. Latency is also a performance concern. + +Bulk transfers are most often used where throughput is an issue. It's +good to keep in mind that bulk transfers are always in 512 byte packets, +and at most 13 of those fit into one USB 2.0 microframe. Eight USB 2.0 +microframes fit in a USB 1.1 frame; a microframe is 1 msec/8 = 125 usec. + +So more than 50 MByte/sec is available for bulk transfers, when both +hardware and device driver software allow it. Periodic transfer modes +(isochronous and interrupt) allow the larger packet sizes which let you +approach the quoted 480 MBit/sec transfer rate. + +Hardware Performance +-------------------- + +At this writing, individual USB 2.0 devices tend to max out at around +20 MByte/sec transfer rates. This is of course subject to change; +and some devices now go faster, while others go slower. + +The first NEC implementation of EHCI seems to have a hardware bottleneck +at around 28 MByte/sec aggregate transfer rate. While this is clearly +enough for a single device at 20 MByte/sec, putting three such devices +onto one bus does not get you 60 MByte/sec. The issue appears to be +that the controller hardware won't do concurrent USB and PCI access, +so that it's only trying six (or maybe seven) USB transactions each +microframe rather than thirteen. (Seems like a reasonable trade off +for a product that beat all the others to market by over a year!) + +It's expected that newer implementations will better this, throwing +more silicon real estate at the problem so that new motherboard chip +sets will get closer to that 60 MByte/sec target. That includes an +updated implementation from NEC, as well as other vendors' silicon. + +There's a minimum latency of one microframe (125 usec) for the host +to receive interrupts from the EHCI controller indicating completion +of requests. That latency is tunable; there's a module option. By +default ehci-hcd driver uses the minimum latency, which means that if +you issue a control or bulk request you can often expect to learn that +it completed in less than 250 usec (depending on transfer size). + +Software Performance +-------------------- + +To get even 20 MByte/sec transfer rates, Linux-USB device drivers will +need to keep the EHCI queue full. That means issuing large requests, +or using bulk queuing if a series of small requests needs to be issued. +When drivers don't do that, their performance results will show it. + +In typical situations, a usb_bulk_msg() loop writing out 4 KB chunks is +going to waste more than half the USB 2.0 bandwidth. Delays between the +I/O completion and the driver issuing the next request will take longer +than the I/O. If that same loop used 16 KB chunks, it'd be better; a +sequence of 128 KB chunks would waste a lot less. + +But rather than depending on such large I/O buffers to make synchronous +I/O be efficient, it's better to just queue up several (bulk) requests +to the HC, and wait for them all to complete (or be canceled on error). +Such URB queuing should work with all the USB 1.1 HC drivers too. + +In the Linux 2.5 kernels, new usb_sg_*() api calls have been defined; they +queue all the buffers from a scatterlist. They also use scatterlist DMA +mapping (which might apply an IOMMU) and IRQ reduction, all of which will +help make high speed transfers run as fast as they can. + + +TBD: + Interrupt and ISO transfer performance issues. Those periodic + transfers are fully scheduled, so the main issue is likely to be how + to trigger "high bandwidth" modes. + +TBD: + More than standard 80% periodic bandwidth allocation is possible + through sysfs uframe_periodic_max parameter.

It may be added to an USB configuration only after +the user space driver has registered by writing descriptors and +strings (the user space program has to provide the same information +that kernel level composite functions provide when they are added to +the configuration). + +This in particular means that the composite initialisation functions +may not be in init section (ie. may not use the __init tag). + +From user space point of view it is a file system which when +mounted provides an "ep0" file. User space driver need to +write descriptors and strings to that file. It does not need +to worry about endpoints, interfaces or strings numbers but +simply provide descriptors such as if the function was the +only one (endpoints and strings numbers starting from one and +interface numbers starting from zero). The FunctionFS changes +them as needed also handling situation when numbers differ in +different configurations. + +When descriptors and strings are written "ep#" files appear +(one for each declared endpoint) which handle communication on +a single endpoint. Again, FunctionFS takes care of the real +numbers and changing of the configuration (which means that +"ep1" file may be really mapped to (say) endpoint 3 (and when +configuration changes to (say) endpoint 2)). "ep0" is used +for receiving events and handling setup requests. + +When all files are closed the function disables itself. + +What I also want to mention is that the FunctionFS is designed in such +a way that it is possible to mount it several times so in the end +a gadget could use several FunctionFS functions. The idea is that +each FunctionFS instance is identified by the device name used +when mounting. + +One can imagine a gadget that has an Ethernet, MTP and HID interfaces +where the last two are implemented via FunctionFS. On user space +level it would look like this:: + + $ insmod g_ffs.ko idVendor=<ID> iSerialNumber=<string> functions=mtp,hid + $ mkdir /dev/ffs-mtp && mount -t functionfs mtp /dev/ffs-mtp + $ ( cd /dev/ffs-mtp && mtp-daemon ) & + $ mkdir /dev/ffs-hid && mount -t functionfs hid /dev/ffs-hid + $ ( cd /dev/ffs-hid && hid-daemon ) & + +On kernel level the gadget checks ffs_data->dev_name to identify +whether it's FunctionFS designed for MTP ("mtp") or HID ("hid"). + +If no "functions" module parameters is supplied, the driver accepts +just one function with any name. + +When "functions" module parameter is supplied, only functions +with listed names are accepted. In particular, if the "functions" +parameter's value is just a one-element list, then the behaviour +is similar to when there is no "functions" at all; however, +only a function with the specified name is accepted. + +The gadget is registered only after all the declared function +filesystems have been mounted and USB descriptors of all functions +have been written to their ep0's. + +Conversely, the gadget is unregistered after the first USB function +closes its endpoints. diff --git a/Documentation/usb/gadget-testing.rst b/Documentation/usb/gadget-testing.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2278c9ffb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/usb/gadget-testing.rst @@ -0,0 +1,967 @@ +============== +Gadget Testing +============== + +This file summarizes information on basic testing of USB functions +provided by gadgets. + +.. contents + + 1.

As of this writing USB_LIBCOMPOSITE selects CONFIGFS_FS. + + + + +Usage +===== + +(The original post describing the first function +made available through configfs can be seen here: +http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg76388.html) + +:: + + $ modprobe libcomposite + $ mount none $CONFIGFS_HOME -t configfs + +where CONFIGFS_HOME is the mount point for configfs + +1. Creating the gadgets +----------------------- + +For each gadget to be created its corresponding directory must be created:: + + $ mkdir $CONFIGFS_HOME/usb_gadget/<gadget name> + +e.g.:: + + $ mkdir $CONFIGFS_HOME/usb_gadget/g1 + + ... + ... + ... + + $ cd $CONFIGFS_HOME/usb_gadget/g1 + +Each gadget needs to have its vendor id <VID> and product id <PID> specified:: + + $ echo <VID> > idVendor + $ echo <PID> > idProduct + +A gadget also needs its serial number, manufacturer and product strings. +In order to have a place to store them, a strings subdirectory must be created +for each language, e.g.:: + + $ mkdir strings/0x409 + +Then the strings can be specified:: + + $ echo <serial number> > strings/0x409/serialnumber + $ echo <manufacturer> > strings/0x409/manufacturer + $ echo <product> > strings/0x409/product + +2. Creating the configurations +------------------------------ + +Each gadget will consist of a number of configurations, their corresponding +directories must be created: + +$ mkdir configs/<name>.<number> + +where <name> can be any string which is legal in a filesystem and the +<number> is the configuration's number, e.g.:: + + $ mkdir configs/c.1 + + ... + ... + ... + +Each configuration also needs its strings, so a subdirectory must be created +for each language, e.g.:: + + $ mkdir configs/c.1/strings/0x409 + +Then the configuration string can be specified:: + + $ echo <configuration> > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration + +Some attributes can also be set for a configuration, e.g.:: + + $ echo 120 > configs/c.1/MaxPower + +3. Creating the functions +------------------------- + +The gadget will provide some functions, for each function its corresponding +directory must be created:: + + $ mkdir functions/<name>.<instance name> + +where <name> corresponds to one of allowed function names and instance name +is an arbitrary string allowed in a filesystem, e.g.:: + + $ mkdir functions/ncm.usb0 # usb_f_ncm.ko gets loaded with request_module() + + ... + ... + ... + +Each function provides its specific set of attributes, with either read-only +or read-write access. Where applicable they need to be written to as +appropriate. +Please refer to Documentation/ABI/testing/configfs-usb-gadget for more information. + +4. Associating the functions with their configurations +------------------------------------------------------ + +At this moment a number of gadgets is created, each of which has a number of +configurations specified and a number of functions available. What remains +is specifying which function is available in which configuration (the same +function can be used in multiple configurations). This is achieved with +creating symbolic links:: + + $ ln -s functions/<name>.<instance name> configs/<name>.<number> + +e.g.:: + + $ ln -s functions/ncm.usb0 configs/c.1 + + ... + ... + ... + +5. Enabling the gadget +---------------------- + +All the above steps serve the purpose of composing the gadget of +configurations and functions. + +An example directory structure might look like this:: + + . + ./strings + ./strings/0x409 + ./strings/0x409/serialnumber + ./strings/0x409/product + ./strings/0x409/manufacturer + ./configs + ./configs/c.1 + ./configs/c.1/ncm.usb0 -> ../../../../usb_gadget/g1/functions/ncm.usb0 + ./configs/c.1/strings + ./configs/c.1/strings/0x409 + ./configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration + ./configs/c.1/bmAttributes + ./configs/c.1/MaxPower + ./functions + ./functions/ncm.usb0 + ./functions/ncm.usb0/ifname + ./functions/ncm.usb0/qmult + ./functions/ncm.usb0/host_addr + ./functions/ncm.usb0/dev_addr + ./UDC + ./bcdUSB + ./bcdDevice + ./idProduct + ./idVendor + ./bMaxPacketSize0 + ./bDeviceProtocol + ./bDeviceSubClass + ./bDeviceClass + + +Such a gadget must be finally enabled so that the USB host can enumerate it. + +In order to enable the gadget it must be bound to a UDC (USB Device +Controller):: + + $ echo <udc name> > UDC + +where <udc name> is one of those found in /sys/class/udc/* +e.g.:: + + $ echo s3c-hsotg > UDC + + +6. Disabling the gadget +----------------------- + +:: + + $ echo "" > UDC + +7. Cleaning up +-------------- + +Remove functions from configurations:: + + $ rm configs/<config name>.<number>/<function> + +where <config name>.<number> specify the configuration and <function> is +a symlink to a function being removed from the configuration, e.g.:: + + $ rm configs/c.1/ncm.usb0 + + ... + ... + ... + +Remove strings directories in configurations: + + $ rmdir configs/<config name>.<number>/strings/<lang> + +e.g.:: + + $ rmdir configs/c.1/strings/0x409 + + ... + ... + ... + +and remove the configurations:: + + $ rmdir configs/<config name>.<number> + +e.g.:: + + rmdir configs/c.1 + + ... + ... + ... + +Remove functions (function modules are not unloaded, though): + + $ rmdir functions/<name>.<instance name> + +e.g.:: + + $ rmdir functions/ncm.usb0 + + ... + ... + ... + +Remove strings directories in the gadget:: + + $ rmdir strings/<lang> + +e.g.:: + + $ rmdir strings/0x409 + +and finally remove the gadget:: + + $ cd .. + $ rmdir <gadget name> + +e.g.:: + + $ rmdir g1 + + + + +Implementation design +===================== + +Below the idea of how configfs works is presented. +In configfs there are items and groups, both represented as directories. +The difference between an item and a group is that a group can contain +other groups. In the picture below only an item is shown. +Both items and groups can have attributes, which are represented as files. +The user can create and remove directories, but cannot remove files, +which can be read-only or read-write, depending on what they represent. + +The filesystem part of configfs operates on config_items/groups and +configfs_attributes which are generic and of the same type for all +configured elements. However, they are embedded in usage-specific +larger structures. In the picture below there is a "cs" which contains +a config_item and an "sa" which contains a configfs_attribute. + +The filesystem view would be like this:: + + ./ + ./cs (directory) + | + +--sa (file) + | + . + . + . + +Whenever a user reads/writes the "sa" file, a function is called +which accepts a struct config_item and a struct configfs_attribute. +In the said function the "cs" and "sa" are retrieved using the well +known container_of technique and an appropriate sa's function (show or +store) is called and passed the "cs" and a character buffer. The "show" +is for displaying the file's contents (copy data from the cs to the +buffer), while the "store" is for modifying the file's contents (copy data +from the buffer to the cs), but it is up to the implementer of the +two functions to decide what they actually do. + +:: + + typedef struct configured_structure cs; + typedef struct specific_attribute sa; + + sa + +----------------------------------+ + cs | (*show)(cs *, buffer); | + +-----------------+ | (*store)(cs *, buffer, length); | + | | | | + | +-------------+ | | +------------------+ | + | | struct |-|----|------>|struct | | + | | config_item | | | |configfs_attribute| | + | +-------------+ | | +------------------+ | + | | +----------------------------------+ + | data to be set | . + | | . + +-----------------+ . + +The file names are decided by the config item/group designer, while +the directories in general can be named at will. A group can have +a number of its default sub-groups created automatically. + +For more information on configfs please see +`Documentation/filesystems/configfs.rst`. + +The concepts described above translate to USB gadgets like this: + +1. A gadget has its config group, which has some attributes (idVendor, +idProduct etc) and default sub-groups (configs, functions, strings). +Writing to the attributes causes the information to be stored in +appropriate locations. In the configs, functions and strings sub-groups +a user can create their sub-groups to represent configurations, functions, +and groups of strings in a given language. + +2. The user creates configurations and functions, in the configurations +creates symbolic links to functions. This information is used when the +gadget's UDC attribute is written to, which means binding the gadget +to the UDC. The code in drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c iterates over +all configurations, and in each configuration it iterates over all +functions and binds them. This way the whole gadget is bound. + +3. The file drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c contains code for + + - gadget's config_group + - gadget's default groups (configs, functions, strings) + - associating functions with configurations (symlinks) + +4. Each USB function naturally has its own view of what it wants +configured, so config_groups for particular functions are defined +in the functions implementation files drivers/usb/gadget/f_*.c. + +5. Function's code is written in such a way that it uses + +usb_get_function_instance(), which, in turn, calls request_module. +So, provided that modprobe works, modules for particular functions +are loaded automatically. Please note that the converse is not true: +after a gadget is disabled and torn down, the modules remain loaded. diff --git a/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.rst b/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e623416de --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.rst @@ -0,0 +1,457 @@ +=========================== +Linux USB HID gadget driver +=========================== + +Introduction +============ + +The HID Gadget driver provides emulation of USB Human Interface +Devices (HID).

All the functions are handled by respective drivers developed +for them. + +This is also true for two configuration set-up with RNDIS +configuration being the first one. Linux host will use the second +configuration with CDC ECM which should work better under Linux. + +Windows host drivers +-------------------- + +For the gadget to work under Windows two conditions have to be met: + +Detecting as composite gadget +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +First of all, Windows need to detect the gadget as an USB composite +gadget which on its own have some conditions[4]. If they are met, +Windows lets USB Generic Parent Driver[5] handle the device which then +tries to match drivers for each individual interface (sort of, don't +get into too many details). + +The good news is: you do not have to worry about most of the +conditions! + +The only thing to worry is that the gadget has to have a single +configuration so a dual RNDIS and CDC ECM gadget won't work unless you +create a proper INF -- and of course, if you do submit it! + +Installing drivers for each function +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The other, trickier thing is making Windows install drivers for each +individual function. + +For mass storage it is trivial since Windows detect it's an interface +implementing USB Mass Storage class and selects appropriate driver. + +Things are harder with RDNIS and CDC ACM. + +RNDIS +..... + +To make Windows select RNDIS drivers for the first function in the +gadget, one needs to use the [[file:linux.inf]] file provided with this +document. It "attaches" Window's RNDIS driver to the first interface +of the gadget. + +Please note, that while testing we encountered some issues[6] when +RNDIS was not the first interface. You do not need to worry abut it +unless you are trying to develop your own gadget in which case watch +out for this bug. + +CDC ACM +....... + +Similarly, [[file:linux-cdc-acm.inf]] is provided for CDC ACM. + +Customising the gadget +...................... + +If you intend to hack the g_multi gadget be advised that rearranging +functions will obviously change interface numbers for each of the +functionality. As an effect provided INFs won't work since they have +interface numbers hard-coded in them (it's not hard to change those +though[7]). + +This also means, that after experimenting with g_multi and changing +provided functions one should change gadget's vendor and/or product ID +so there will be no collision with other customised gadgets or the +original gadget. + +Failing to comply may cause brain damage after wondering for hours why +things don't work as intended before realising Windows have cached +some drivers information (changing USB port may sometimes help plus +you might try using USBDeview[8] to remove the phantom device). + +INF testing +........... + +Provided INF files have been tested on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista +and Windows 7, all 32-bit versions.

Nadler <craig@nadler.us> + + + +General +======= + +This driver may be used if you are writing printer firmware using Linux as +the embedded OS. This driver has nothing to do with using a printer with +your Linux host system. + +You will need a USB device controller and a Linux driver for it that accepts +a gadget / "device class" driver using the Linux USB Gadget API. After the +USB device controller driver is loaded then load the printer gadget driver. +This will present a printer interface to the USB Host that your USB Device +port is connected to. + +This driver is structured for printer firmware that runs in user mode. The +user mode printer firmware will read and write data from the kernel mode +printer gadget driver using a device file. The printer returns a printer status +byte when the USB HOST sends a device request to get the printer status. The +user space firmware can read or write this status byte using a device file +/dev/g_printer . Both blocking and non-blocking read/write calls are supported. + + + + +Howto Use This Driver +===================== + +To load the USB device controller driver and the printer gadget driver. The +following example uses the Netchip 2280 USB device controller driver:: + + modprobe net2280 + modprobe g_printer + + +The follow command line parameter can be used when loading the printer gadget +(ex: modprobe g_printer idVendor=0x0525 idProduct=0xa4a8 ): + +idVendor + This is the Vendor ID used in the device descriptor. The default is + the Netchip vendor id 0x0525. YOU MUST CHANGE TO YOUR OWN VENDOR ID + BEFORE RELEASING A PRODUCT. If you plan to release a product and don't + already have a Vendor ID please see www.usb.org for details on how to + get one. + +idProduct + This is the Product ID used in the device descriptor. The default + is 0xa4a8, you should change this to an ID that's not used by any of + your other USB products if you have any. It would be a good idea to + start numbering your products starting with say 0x0001. + +bcdDevice + This is the version number of your product. It would be a good idea + to put your firmware version here. + +iManufacturer + A string containing the name of the Vendor. + +iProduct + A string containing the Product Name. + +iSerialNum + A string containing the Serial Number. This should be changed for + each unit of your product. + +iPNPstring + The PNP ID string used for this printer. You will want to set + either on the command line or hard code the PNP ID string used for + your printer product. + +qlen + The number of 8k buffers to use per endpoint. The default is 10, you + should tune this for your product. You may also want to tune the + size of each buffer for your product. + + + + +Using The Example Code +====================== + +This example code talks to stdout, instead of a print engine. + +To compile the test code below: + +1) save it to a file called prn_example.c +2) compile the code with the follow command:: + + gcc prn_example.c -o prn_example + + + +To read printer data from the host to stdout:: + + # prn_example -read_data + + +To write printer data from a file (data_file) to the host:: + + # cat data_file | prn_example -write_data + + +To get the current printer status for the gadget driver::: + + # prn_example -get_status + + Printer status is: + Printer is NOT Selected + Paper is Out + Printer OK + + +To set printer to Selected/On-line:: + + # prn_example -selected + + +To set printer to Not Selected/Off-line:: + + # prn_example -not_selected + + +To set paper status to paper out:: + + # prn_example -paper_out + + +To set paper status to paper loaded:: + + # prn_example -paper_loaded + + +To set error status to printer OK:: + + # prn_example -no_error + + +To set error status to ERROR:: + + # prn_example -error + + + + +Example Code +============ + +:: + + + #include <stdio.h> + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <fcntl.h> + #include <linux/poll.h> + #include <sys/ioctl.h> + #include <linux/usb/g_printer.h> + + #define PRINTER_FILE "/dev/g_printer" + #define BUF_SIZE 512 + + + /* + * 'usage()' - Show program usage. + */ + + static void + usage(const char *option) /* I - Option string or NULL */ + { + if (option) { + fprintf(stderr,"prn_example: Unknown option \"%s\"!\n", + option);

It runs on a Linux system that has USB device side +hardware; for example, a PDA, an embedded Linux system, or a PC +with a USB development card. + +The gadget serial driver talks over USB to either a CDC ACM driver +or a generic USB serial driver running on a host PC:: + + Host + -------------------------------------- + | Host-Side CDC ACM USB Host | + | Operating | or | Controller | USB + | System | Generic USB | Driver |-------- + | (Linux or | Serial | and | | + | Windows) Driver USB Stack | | + -------------------------------------- | + | + | + | + Gadget | + -------------------------------------- | + | Gadget USB Periph. | | + | Device-Side | Gadget | Controller | | + | Linux | Serial | Driver |-------- + | Operating | Driver | and | + | System USB Stack | + -------------------------------------- + +On the device-side Linux system, the gadget serial driver looks +like a serial device. + +On the host-side system, the gadget serial device looks like a +CDC ACM compliant class device or a simple vendor specific device +with bulk in and bulk out endpoints, and it is treated similarly +to other serial devices. + +The host side driver can potentially be any ACM compliant driver +or any driver that can talk to a device with a simple bulk in/out +interface. Gadget serial has been tested with the Linux ACM driver, +the Windows usbser.sys ACM driver, and the Linux USB generic serial +driver. + +With the gadget serial driver and the host side ACM or generic +serial driver running, you should be able to communicate between +the host and the gadget side systems as if they were connected by a +serial cable. + +The gadget serial driver only provides simple unreliable data +communication. It does not yet handle flow control or many other +features of normal serial devices. + + +Installing the Gadget Serial Driver +----------------------------------- +To use the gadget serial driver you must configure the Linux gadget +side kernel for "Support for USB Gadgets", for a "USB Peripheral +Controller" (for example, net2280), and for the "Serial Gadget" +driver. All this are listed under "USB Gadget Support" when +configuring the kernel. Then rebuild and install the kernel or +modules. + +Then you must load the gadget serial driver. To load it as an +ACM device (recommended for interoperability), do this:: + + modprobe g_serial + +To load it as a vendor specific bulk in/out device, do this:: + + modprobe g_serial use_acm=0 + +This will also automatically load the underlying gadget peripheral +controller driver. This must be done each time you reboot the gadget +side Linux system. You can add this to the start up scripts, if +desired. + +Your system should use mdev (from busybox) or udev to make the +device nodes. After this gadget driver has been set up you should +then see a /dev/ttyGS0 node:: + + # ls -l /dev/ttyGS0 | cat + crw-rw---- 1 root root 253, 0 May 8 14:10 /dev/ttyGS0 + # + +Note that the major number (253, above) is system-specific. If +you need to create /dev nodes by hand, the right numbers to use +will be in the /sys/class/tty/ttyGS0/dev file. + +When you link this gadget driver early, perhaps even statically, +you may want to set up an /etc/inittab entry to run "getty" on it. +The /dev/ttyGS0 line should work like most any other serial port. + + +If gadget serial is loaded as an ACM device you will want to use +either the Windows or Linux ACM driver on the host side. If gadget +serial is loaded as a bulk in/out device, you will want to use the +Linux generic serial driver on the host side. Follow the appropriate +instructions below to install the host side driver. + + +Installing the Windows Host ACM Driver +-------------------------------------- +To use the Windows ACM driver you must have the "linux-cdc-acm.inf" +file (provided along this document) which supports all recent versions +of Windows. + +When the gadget serial driver is loaded and the USB device connected +to the Windows host with a USB cable, Windows should recognize the +gadget serial device and ask for a driver. Tell Windows to find the +driver in the folder that contains the "linux-cdc-acm.inf" file. + +For example, on Windows XP, when the gadget serial device is first +plugged in, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" starts up. Select +"Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", then on the +next screen select "Include this location in the search" and enter the +path or browse to the folder containing the "linux-cdc-acm.inf" file. +Windows will complain that the Gadget Serial driver has not passed +Windows Logo testing, but select "Continue anyway" and finish the +driver installation. + +On Windows XP, in the "Device Manager" (under "Control Panel", +"System", "Hardware") expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" entry and you +should see "Gadget Serial" listed as the driver for one of the COM +ports. + +To uninstall the Windows XP driver for "Gadget Serial", right click +on the "Gadget Serial" entry in the "Device Manager" and select +"Uninstall". + + +Installing the Linux Host ACM Driver +------------------------------------ +To use the Linux ACM driver you must configure the Linux host side +kernel for "Support for Host-side USB" and for "USB Modem (CDC ACM) +support". + +Once the gadget serial driver is loaded and the USB device connected +to the Linux host with a USB cable, the host system should recognize +the gadget serial device. For example, the command:: + + cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices + +should show something like this::: + + T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 5 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 + D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=02(comm.)

Under "Serial port setup" set "/dev/ttygserial" as the +"Serial Device". Set baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits, +to 9600, 8, none, and 1--these settings mostly do not matter. +Under "Modem and dialing" erase all the modem and dialing strings. + +On a Linux host running the ACM driver, configure minicom similarly +but use "/dev/ttyACM0" as the "Serial Device". (If you have other +ACM devices connected, change the device name appropriately.) + +On a Linux host running the USB generic serial driver, configure +minicom similarly, but use "/dev/ttyUSB0" as the "Serial Device". +(If you have other USB serial devices connected, change the device +name appropriately.) + +On a Windows host configure a new HyperTerminal session to use the +COM port assigned to Gadget Serial. The "Port Settings" will be +set automatically when HyperTerminal connects to the gadget serial +device, so you can leave them set to the default values--these +settings mostly do not matter. + +With minicom configured and running on the gadget side and with +minicom or HyperTerminal configured and running on the host side, +you should be able to send data back and forth between the gadget +side and host side systems. Anything you type on the terminal +window on the gadget side should appear in the terminal window on +the host side and vice versa. diff --git a/Documentation/usb/index.rst b/Documentation/usb/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b656c9be2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/usb/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +=========== +USB support +=========== + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + acm + authorization + chipidea + dwc3 + ehci + functionfs + gadget_configfs + gadget_hid + gadget_multi + gadget_printer + gadget_serial + gadget-testing + iuu_phoenix + mass-storage + misc_usbsevseg + mtouchusb + ohci + raw-gadget + usbip_protocol + usbmon + usb-serial + + usb-help + text_files + +.. only:: subproject and html + + Indices + ======= + + * :ref:`genindex` diff --git a/Documentation/usb/iuu_phoenix.rst b/Documentation/usb/iuu_phoenix.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b76268728 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/usb/iuu_phoenix.rst @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +============================= +Infinity Usb Unlimited Readme +============================= + +Hi all, + + +This module provide a serial interface to use your +IUU unit in phoenix mode.

It supports + multiple logical units (LUNs). Backing storage for each LUN is + provided by a regular file or a block device, access can be limited + to read-only, and gadget can indicate that it is removable and/or + CD-ROM (the latter implies read-only access). + + Its requirements are modest; only a bulk-in and a bulk-out endpoint + are needed. The memory requirement amounts to two 16K buffers. + Support is included for full-speed, high-speed and SuperSpeed + operation. + + Note that the driver is slightly non-portable in that it assumes + a single memory/DMA buffer will be usable for bulk-in and bulk-out + endpoints. With most device controllers this is not an issue, but + there may be some with hardware restrictions that prevent a buffer + from being used by more than one endpoint. + + This document describes how to use the gadget from user space, its + relation to mass storage function (or MSF) and different gadgets + using it, and how it differs from File Storage Gadget (or FSG) + (which is no longer included in Linux). It will talk only briefly + about how to use MSF within composite gadgets. + +Module parameters +================= + + The mass storage gadget accepts the following mass storage specific + module parameters: + + - file=filename[,filename...] + + This parameter lists paths to files or block devices used for + backing storage for each logical unit. There may be at most + FSG_MAX_LUNS (8) LUNs set. If more files are specified, they will + be silently ignored. See also “luns” parameter. + + *BEWARE* that if a file is used as a backing storage, it may not + be modified by any other process. This is because the host + assumes the data does not change without its knowledge. It may be + read, but (if the logical unit is writable) due to buffering on + the host side, the contents are not well defined. + + The size of the logical unit will be rounded down to a full + logical block. The logical block size is 2048 bytes for LUNs + simulating CD-ROM, block size of the device if the backing file is + a block device, or 512 bytes otherwise. + + - removable=b[,b...] + + This parameter specifies whether each logical unit should be + removable. “b” here is either “y”, “Y” or “1” for true or “n”, + “N” or “0” for false. + + If this option is set for a logical unit, gadget will accept an + “eject” SCSI request (Start/Stop Unit). When it is sent, the + backing file will be closed to simulate ejection and the logical + unit will not be mountable by the host until a new backing file is + specified by userspace on the device (see “sysfs entries” + section). + + If a logical unit is not removable (the default), a backing file + must be specified for it with the “file” parameter as the module + is loaded. The same applies if the module is built in, no + exceptions. + + The default value of the flag is false, *HOWEVER* it used to be + true. This has been changed to better match File Storage Gadget + and because it seems like a saner default after all. Thus to + maintain compatibility with older kernels, it's best to specify + the default values. Also, if one relied on old default, explicit + “n” needs to be specified now. + + Note that “removable” means the logical unit's media can be + ejected or removed (as is true for a CD-ROM drive or a card + reader). It does *not* mean that the entire gadget can be + unplugged from the host; the proper term for that is + “hot-unpluggable”. + + - cdrom=b[,b...] + + This parameter specifies whether each logical unit should simulate + CD-ROM. The default is false. + + - ro=b[,b...] + + This parameter specifies whether each logical unit should be + reported as read only. This will prevent host from modifying the + backing files. + + Note that if this flag for given logical unit is false but the + backing file could not be opened in read/write mode, the gadget + will fall back to read only mode anyway. + + The default value for non-CD-ROM logical units is false; for + logical units simulating CD-ROM it is forced to true. + + - nofua=b[,b...] + + This parameter specifies whether FUA flag should be ignored in SCSI + Write10 and Write12 commands sent to given logical units. + + MS Windows mounts removable storage in “Removal optimised mode” by + default. All the writes to the media are synchronous, which is + achieved by setting the FUA (Force Unit Access) bit in SCSI + Write(10,12) commands. This forces each write to wait until the + data has actually been written out and prevents I/O requests + aggregation in block layer dramatically decreasing performance. + + Note that this may mean that if the device is powered from USB and + the user unplugs the device without unmounting it first (which at + least some Windows users do), the data may be lost. + + The default value is false. + + - luns=N + + This parameter specifies number of logical units the gadget will + have. It is limited by FSG_MAX_LUNS (8) and higher value will be + capped. + + If this parameter is provided, and the number of files specified + in “file” argument is greater then the value of “luns”, all excess + files will be ignored. + + If this parameter is not present, the number of logical units will + be deduced from the number of files specified in the “file” + parameter. If the file parameter is missing as well, one is + assumed. + + - stall=b + + Specifies whether the gadget is allowed to halt bulk endpoints. + The default is determined according to the type of USB device + controller, but usually true. + + In addition to the above, the gadget also accepts the following + parameters defined by the composite framework (they are common to + all composite gadgets so just a quick listing): + + - idVendor -- USB Vendor ID (16 bit integer) + - idProduct -- USB Product ID (16 bit integer) + - bcdDevice -- USB Device version (BCD) (16 bit integer) + - iManufacturer -- USB Manufacturer string (string) + - iProduct -- USB Product string (string) + - iSerialNumber -- SerialNumber string (sting) + +sysfs entries +============= + + For each logical unit, the gadget creates a directory in the sysfs + hierarchy. Inside of it the following three files are created: + + - file + + When read it returns the path to the backing file for the given + logical unit. If there is no backing file (possible only if the + logical unit is removable), the content is empty. + + When written into, it changes the backing file for given logical + unit. This change can be performed even if given logical unit is + not specified as removable (but that may look strange to the + host). It may fail, however, if host disallowed medium removal + with the Prevent-Allow Medium Removal SCSI command. + + - ro + + Reflects the state of ro flag for the given logical unit. It can + be read any time, and written to when there is no backing file + open for given logical unit. + + - nofua + + Reflects the state of nofua flag for given logical unit. It can + be read and written. + + - forced_eject + + When written into, it causes the backing file to be forcibly + detached from the LUN, regardless of whether the host has allowed + it. The content doesn't matter, any non-zero number of bytes + written will result in ejection. + + Can not be read. + + Other then those, as usual, the values of module parameters can be + read from /sys/module/g_mass_storage/parameters/* files. + +Other gadgets using mass storage function +========================================= + + The Mass Storage Gadget uses the Mass Storage Function to handle + mass storage protocol. As a composite function, MSF may be used by + other gadgets as well (eg. g_multi and acm_ms). + + All of the information in previous sections are valid for other + gadgets using MSF, except that support for mass storage related + module parameters may be missing, or the parameters may have + a prefix. To figure out whether any of this is true one needs to + consult the gadget's documentation or its source code. + + For examples of how to include mass storage function in gadgets, one + may take a look at mass_storage.c, acm_ms.c and multi.c (sorted by + complexity). + +Relation to file storage gadget +=============================== + + The Mass Storage Function and thus the Mass Storage Gadget has been + based on the File Storage Gadget. The difference between the two is + that MSG is a composite gadget (ie. uses the composite framework) + while file storage gadget was a traditional gadget. From userspace + point of view this distinction does not really matter, but from + kernel hacker's point of view, this means that (i) MSG does not + duplicate code needed for handling basic USB protocol commands and + (ii) MSF can be used in any other composite gadget. + + Because of that, File Storage Gadget has been removed in Linux 3.8. + All users need to transition to the Mass Storage Gadget.

Unlike most gadget drivers, Raw Gadget does not implement +any concrete USB functions itself but requires userspace to do that. + +Raw Gadget is currently a strictly debugging feature and should not be used +in production. Use GadgetFS instead. + +Enabled with CONFIG_USB_RAW_GADGET. + +Comparison to GadgetFS +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Raw Gadget is similar to GadgetFS but provides more direct access to the +USB gadget layer for userspace. The key differences are: + +1. Raw Gadget passes every USB request to userspace to get a response, while + GadgetFS responds to some USB requests internally based on the provided + descriptors. Note that the UDC driver might respond to some requests on + its own and never forward them to the gadget layer. + +2. Raw Gadget allows providing arbitrary data as responses to USB requests, + while GadgetFS performs sanity checks on the provided USB descriptors. + This makes Raw Gadget suitable for fuzzing by providing malformed data as + responses to USB requests. + +3. Raw Gadget provides a way to select a UDC device/driver to bind to, + while GadgetFS currently binds to the first available UDC. This allows + having multiple Raw Gadget instances bound to different UDCs. + +4. Raw Gadget explicitly exposes information about endpoints addresses and + capabilities. This allows the user to write UDC-agnostic gadgets. + +5. Raw Gadget has an ioctl-based interface instead of a filesystem-based + one. + +Userspace interface +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The user can interact with Raw Gadget by opening ``/dev/raw-gadget`` and +issuing ioctl calls; see the comments in include/uapi/linux/usb/raw_gadget.h +for details. Multiple Raw Gadget instances (bound to different UDCs) can be +used at the same time. + +A typical usage scenario of Raw Gadget: + +1. Create a Raw Gadget instance by opening ``/dev/raw-gadget``. +2. Initialize the instance via ``USB_RAW_IOCTL_INIT``. +3. Launch the instance with ``USB_RAW_IOCTL_RUN``. +4. In a loop issue ``USB_RAW_IOCTL_EVENT_FETCH`` to receive events from + Raw Gadget and react to those depending on what kind of USB gadget must + be implemented. + +Note that some UDC drivers have fixed addresses assigned to endpoints, and +therefore arbitrary endpoint addresses cannot be used in the descriptors. +Nevertheless, Raw Gadget provides a UDC-agnostic way to write USB gadgets. +Once ``USB_RAW_EVENT_CONNECT`` is received via ``USB_RAW_IOCTL_EVENT_FETCH``, +``USB_RAW_IOCTL_EPS_INFO`` can be used to find out information about the +endpoints that the UDC driver has. Based on that, userspace must choose UDC +endpoints for the gadget and assign addresses in the endpoint descriptors +correspondingly. + +Raw Gadget usage examples and a test suite: + +https://github.com/xairy/raw-gadget + +Internal details +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Every Raw Gadget endpoint read/write ioctl submits a USB request and waits +until its completion. This is done deliberately to assist with coverage-guided +fuzzing by having a single syscall fully process a single USB request. This +feature must be kept in the implementation. + +Potential future improvements +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Report more events (suspend, resume, etc.) through + ``USB_RAW_IOCTL_EVENT_FETCH``. + +- Support ``O_NONBLOCK`` I/O.

When this happens, the device is + properly enumerated, assigned a port, and then communication _should_ be + possible. The driver cleans up properly when the device is removed, or + the connection is canceled on the device. + + NOTE: + This means that in order to talk to the device, the sync button must be + pressed BEFORE trying to get any program to communicate to the device. + This goes against the current documentation for pilot-xfer and other + packages, but is the only way that it will work due to the hardware + in the device. + + When the device is connected, try talking to it on the second port + (this is usually /dev/ttyUSB1 if you do not have any other usb-serial + devices in the system.)

Please visit http://synce.sourceforge.net which + contains the necessary packages and a simple step-by-step howto. + + Once connected, you can use Win CE programs like ftpView, Pocket Outlook + from the PDA and xcerdisp, synce utilities from the Linux side. + + To use Pocket IE, follow the instructions given at + http://www.tekguru.co.uk/EM500/usbtonet.htm to achieve the same thing + on Win98. Omit the proxy server part; Linux is quite capable of forwarding + packets unlike Win98. Another modification is required at least for the + iPAQ - disable autosync by going to the Start/Settings/Connections menu + and unchecking the "Automatically synchronize ..." box. Go to + Start/Programs/Connections, connect the cable and select "usbdial" (or + whatever you named your new USB connection). You should finally wind + up with a "Connected to usbdial" window with status shown as connected. + Now start up PIE and browse away. + + If it doesn't work for some reason, load both the usbserial and ipaq module + with the module parameter "debug" set to 1 and examine the system log. + You can also try soft-resetting your PDA before attempting a connection. + + Other functionality may be possible depending on your PDA.

This function is analogous +to a packet socket used by network monitoring tools such as tcpdump(1) +or Ethereal. Similarly, it is expected that a tool such as usbdump or +USBMon (with uppercase letters) is used to examine raw traces produced +by usbmon. + +The usbmon reports requests made by peripheral-specific drivers to Host +Controller Drivers (HCD). So, if HCD is buggy, the traces reported by +usbmon may not correspond to bus transactions precisely. This is the same +situation as with tcpdump. + +Two APIs are currently implemented: "text" and "binary". The binary API +is available through a character device in /dev namespace and is an ABI. +The text API is deprecated since 2.6.35, but available for convenience. + +How to use usbmon to collect raw text traces +============================================ + +Unlike the packet socket, usbmon has an interface which provides traces +in a text format. This is used for two purposes. First, it serves as a +common trace exchange format for tools while more sophisticated formats +are finalized. Second, humans can read it in case tools are not available. + +To collect a raw text trace, execute following steps. + +1. Prepare +---------- + +Mount debugfs (it has to be enabled in your kernel configuration), and +load the usbmon module (if built as module). The second step is skipped +if usbmon is built into the kernel:: + + # mount -t debugfs none_debugs /sys/kernel/debug + # modprobe usbmon + # + +Verify that bus sockets are present:: + + # ls /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon + 0s 0u 1s 1t 1u 2s 2t 2u 3s 3t 3u 4s 4t 4u + # + +Now you can choose to either use the socket '0u' (to capture packets on all +buses), and skip to step #3, or find the bus used by your device with step #2. +This allows to filter away annoying devices that talk continuously. + +2. Find which bus connects to the desired device +------------------------------------------------ + +Run "cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices", and find the T-line which corresponds +to the device. Usually you do it by looking for the vendor string. If you have +many similar devices, unplug one and compare the two +/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices outputs. The T-line will have a bus number. + +Example:: + + T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 + D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 + P: Vendor=0557 ProdID=2004 Rev= 1.00 + S: Manufacturer=ATEN + S: Product=UC100KM V2.00 + +"Bus=03" means it's bus 3. Alternatively, you can look at the output from +"lsusb" and get the bus number from the appropriate line. Example: + +Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0557:2004 ATEN UC100KM V2.00 + +3. Start 'cat' +-------------- + +:: + + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/3u > /tmp/1.mon.out + +to listen on a single bus, otherwise, to listen on all buses, type:: + + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u > /tmp/1.mon.out + +This process will read until it is killed. Naturally, the output can be +redirected to a desirable location. This is preferred, because it is going +to be quite long. + +4. Perform the desired operation on the USB bus +----------------------------------------------- + +This is where you do something that creates the traffic: plug in a flash key, +copy files, control a webcam, etc. + +5. Kill cat +----------- + +Usually it's done with a keyboard interrupt (Control-C). + +At this point the output file (/tmp/1.mon.out in this example) can be saved, +sent by e-mail, or inspected with a text editor. In the last case make sure +that the file size is not excessive for your favourite editor. + +Raw text data format +==================== + +Two formats are supported currently: the original, or '1t' format, and +the '1u' format. The '1t' format is deprecated in kernel 2.6.21. The '1u' +format adds a few fields, such as ISO frame descriptors, interval, etc. +It produces slightly longer lines, but otherwise is a perfect superset +of '1t' format. + +If it is desired to recognize one from the other in a program, look at the +"address" word (see below), where '1u' format adds a bus number. If 2 colons +are present, it's the '1t' format, otherwise '1u'. + +Any text format data consists of a stream of events, such as URB submission, +URB callback, submission error. Every event is a text line, which consists +of whitespace separated words. The number or position of words may depend +on the event type, but there is a set of words, common for all types. + +Here is the list of words, from left to right: + +- URB Tag. This is used to identify URBs, and is normally an in-kernel address + of the URB structure in hexadecimal, but can be a sequence number or any + other unique string, within reason. + +- Timestamp in microseconds, a decimal number. The timestamp's resolution + depends on available clock, and so it can be much worse than a microsecond + (if the implementation uses jiffies, for example). + +- Event Type. This type refers to the format of the event, not URB type. + Available types are: S - submission, C - callback, E - submission error. + +- "Address" word (formerly a "pipe"). It consists of four fields, separated by + colons: URB type and direction, Bus number, Device address, Endpoint number. + Type and direction are encoded with two bytes in the following manner: + + == == ============================= + Ci Co Control input and output + Zi Zo Isochronous input and output + Ii Io Interrupt input and output + Bi Bo Bulk input and output + == == ============================= + + Bus number, Device address, and Endpoint are decimal numbers, but they may + have leading zeros, for the sake of human readers. + +- URB Status word. This is either a letter, or several numbers separated + by colons: URB status, interval, start frame, and error count. Unlike the + "address" word, all fields save the status are optional. Interval is printed + only for interrupt and isochronous URBs. Start frame is printed only for + isochronous URBs. Error count is printed only for isochronous callback + events. + + The status field is a decimal number, sometimes negative, which represents + a "status" field of the URB. This field makes no sense for submissions, but + is present anyway to help scripts with parsing. When an error occurs, the + field contains the error code. + + In case of a submission of a Control packet, this field contains a Setup Tag + instead of an group of numbers. It is easy to tell whether the Setup Tag is + present because it is never a number. Thus if scripts find a set of numbers + in this word, they proceed to read Data Length (except for isochronous URBs). + If they find something else, like a letter, they read the setup packet before + reading the Data Length or isochronous descriptors. + +- Setup packet, if present, consists of 5 words: one of each for bmRequestType, + bRequest, wValue, wIndex, wLength, as specified by the USB Specification 2.0. + These words are safe to decode if Setup Tag was 's'. Otherwise, the setup + packet was present, but not captured, and the fields contain filler. + +- Number of isochronous frame descriptors and descriptors themselves. + If an Isochronous transfer event has a set of descriptors, a total number + of them in an URB is printed first, then a word per descriptor, up to a + total of 5. The word consists of 3 colon-separated decimal numbers for + status, offset, and length respectively. For submissions, initial length + is reported. For callbacks, actual length is reported. + +- Data Length. For submissions, this is the requested length. For callbacks, + this is the actual length. + +- Data tag. The usbmon may not always capture data, even if length is nonzero. + The data words are present only if this tag is '='. + +- Data words follow, in big endian hexadecimal format. Notice that they are + not machine words, but really just a byte stream split into words to make + it easier to read. Thus, the last word may contain from one to four bytes. + The length of collected data is limited and can be less than the data length + reported in the Data Length word. In the case of an Isochronous input (Zi) + completion where the received data is sparse in the buffer, the length of + the collected data can be greater than the Data Length value (because Data + Length counts only the bytes that were received whereas the Data words + contain the entire transfer buffer). + +Examples: + +An input control transfer to get a port status:: + + d5ea89a0 3575914555 S Ci:1:001:0 s a3 00 0000 0003 0004 4 < + d5ea89a0 3575914560 C Ci:1:001:0 0 4 = 01050000 + +An output bulk transfer to send a SCSI command 0x28 (READ_10) in a 31-byte +Bulk wrapper to a storage device at address 5:: + + dd65f0e8 4128379752 S Bo:1:005:2 -115 31 = 55534243 ad000000 00800000 80010a28 20000000 20000040 00000000 000000 + dd65f0e8 4128379808 C Bo:1:005:2 0 31 > + +Raw binary format and API +========================= + +The overall architecture of the API is about the same as the one above, +only the events are delivered in binary format. Each event is sent in +the following structure (its name is made up, so that we can refer to it):: + + struct usbmon_packet { + u64 id; /* 0: URB ID - from submission to callback */ + unsigned char type; /* 8: Same as text; extensible. */ + unsigned char xfer_type; /* ISO (0), Intr, Control, Bulk (3) */ + unsigned char epnum; /* Endpoint number and transfer direction */ + unsigned char devnum; /* Device address */ + u16 busnum; /* 12: Bus number */ + char flag_setup; /* 14: Same as text */ + char flag_data; /* 15: Same as text; Binary zero is OK. */ + s64 ts_sec; /* 16: gettimeofday */ + s32 ts_usec; /* 24: gettimeofday */ + int status; /* 28: */ + unsigned int length; /* 32: Length of data (submitted or actual) */ + unsigned int len_cap; /* 36: Delivered length */ + union { /* 40: */ + unsigned char setup[SETUP_LEN]; /* Only for Control S-type */ + struct iso_rec { /* Only for ISO */ + int error_count; + int numdesc; + } iso; + } s; + int interval; /* 48: Only for Interrupt and ISO */ + int start_frame; /* 52: For ISO */ + unsigned int xfer_flags; /* 56: copy of URB's transfer_flags */ + unsigned int ndesc; /* 60: Actual number of ISO descriptors */ + }; /* 64 total length */ + +These events can be received from a character device by reading with read(2), +with an ioctl(2), or by accessing the buffer with mmap. However, read(2) +only returns first 48 bytes for compatibility reasons. + +The character device is usually called /dev/usbmonN, where N is the USB bus +number. Number zero (/dev/usbmon0) is special and means "all buses". +Note that specific naming policy is set by your Linux distribution. + +If you create /dev/usbmon0 by hand, make sure that it is owned by root +and has mode 0600. Otherwise, unprivileged users will be able to snoop +keyboard traffic. + +The following ioctl calls are available, with MON_IOC_MAGIC 0x92: + + MON_IOCQ_URB_LEN, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 1) + +This call returns the length of data in the next event. Note that majority of +events contain no data, so if this call returns zero, it does not mean that +no events are available. + + MON_IOCG_STATS, defined as _IOR(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 3, struct mon_bin_stats) + +The argument is a pointer to the following structure:: + + struct mon_bin_stats { + u32 queued; + u32 dropped; + }; + +The member "queued" refers to the number of events currently queued in the +buffer (and not to the number of events processed since the last reset). + +The member "dropped" is the number of events lost since the last call +to MON_IOCG_STATS. + + MON_IOCT_RING_SIZE, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 4) + +This call sets the buffer size. The argument is the size in bytes. +The size may be rounded down to the next chunk (or page). If the requested +size is out of [unspecified] bounds for this kernel, the call fails with +-EINVAL. + + MON_IOCQ_RING_SIZE, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 5) + +This call returns the current size of the buffer in bytes. + + MON_IOCX_GET, defined as _IOW(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 6, struct mon_get_arg) + MON_IOCX_GETX, defined as _IOW(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 10, struct mon_get_arg) + +These calls wait for events to arrive if none were in the kernel buffer, +then return the first event. The argument is a pointer to the following +structure:: + + struct mon_get_arg { + struct usbmon_packet *hdr; + void *data; + size_t alloc; /* Length of data (can be zero) */ + }; + +Before the call, hdr, data, and alloc should be filled. Upon return, the area +pointed by hdr contains the next event structure, and the data buffer contains +the data, if any. The event is removed from the kernel buffer. + +The MON_IOCX_GET copies 48 bytes to hdr area, MON_IOCX_GETX copies 64 bytes. + + MON_IOCX_MFETCH, defined as _IOWR(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 7, struct mon_mfetch_arg) + +This ioctl is primarily used when the application accesses the buffer +with mmap(2). Its argument is a pointer to the following structure:: + + struct mon_mfetch_arg { + uint32_t *offvec; /* Vector of events fetched */ + uint32_t nfetch; /* Number of events to fetch (out: fetched) */ + uint32_t nflush; /* Number of events to flush */ + }; + +The ioctl operates in 3 stages. + +First, it removes and discards up to nflush events from the kernel buffer. +The actual number of events discarded is returned in nflush. + +Second, it waits for an event to be present in the buffer, unless the pseudo- +device is open with O_NONBLOCK. + +Third, it extracts up to nfetch offsets into the mmap buffer, and stores +them into the offvec. The actual number of event offsets is stored into +the nfetch. + + MON_IOCH_MFLUSH, defined as _IO(MON_IOC_MAGIC, 8) + +This call removes a number of events from the kernel buffer. Its argument +is the number of events to remove. If the buffer contains fewer events +than requested, all events present are removed, and no error is reported. +This works when no events are available too. + + FIONBIO + +The ioctl FIONBIO may be implemented in the future, if there's a need. + +In addition to ioctl(2) and read(2), the special file of binary API can +be polled with select(2) and poll(2). But lseek(2) does not work. + +* Memory-mapped access of the kernel buffer for the binary API + +The basic idea is simple: + +To prepare, map the buffer by getting the current size, then using mmap(2). +Then, execute a loop similar to the one written in pseudo-code below:: + + struct mon_mfetch_arg fetch; + struct usbmon_packet *hdr; + int nflush = 0; + for (;;) { + fetch.offvec = vec; // Has N 32-bit words + fetch.nfetch = N; // Or less than N + fetch.nflush = nflush; + ioctl(fd, MON_IOCX_MFETCH, &fetch); // Process errors, too + nflush = fetch.nfetch; // This many packets to flush when done + for (i = 0; i < nflush; i++) { + hdr = (struct ubsmon_packet *) &mmap_area[vec[i]]; + if (hdr->type == '@') // Filler packet + continue; + caddr_t data = &mmap_area[vec[i]] + 64; + process_packet(hdr, data); + } + } + +Thus, the main idea is to execute only one ioctl per N events. + +Although the buffer is circular, the returned headers and data do not cross +the end of the buffer, so the above pseudo-code does not need any gathering. |
