|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ehci
|
|
.Nd USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "ehci* at cardbus? function ?"
|
|
.Cd "ehci* at pci? dev ? function ?"
|
|
.Cd "usb* at ehci?"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface,
|
|
which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the 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 USB connector is electrically connected to two
|
|
USB controllers.
|
|
The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since
|
|
USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector appear
|
|
to connect to different USB busses.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.6 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The support for hubs that are connected with high speed upstream
|
|
and low or full speed downstream (i.e., for transaction translators)
|
|
is limited.
