  2. Host controller interface (USB, Firewire) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_controller_interface...

    It requires a license from Intel. A USB controller using UHCI does little in hardware and requires a software UHCI driver to do much of the work of managing the USB bus. [2] It only supports 32-bit memory addressing, [4] so it requires an IOMMU or a computationally expensive bounce buffer to work with a 64-bit operating system.

  3. USB communications device class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_communications_device...

    With a vendor-supplied INF file, Windows Vista works with USB CDC and USB WMCDC devices. [1] This class can be used for industrial equipment such as CNC machinery to allow upgrading from older RS-232 serial controllers and robotics, since they can keep software compatibility. The device attaches to an RS-232 communications line and the ...

    The bus bandwidth therefore only has an effect on the number of channels that can be sent at a time, not the speed or latency of the transmission. Low speed (LS) rate of 1.5 Mbit/s is defined by USB 1.0. It is very similar to full-bandwidth operation except each bit takes 8 times as long to transmit.

  5. USB - Wikipedia

    The host controller directs traffic flow to devices, so no USB device can transfer any data on the bus without an explicit request from the host controller. In USB 2.0, the host controller polls the bus for traffic, usually in a round-robin fashion. The throughput of each USB port is determined by the slower speed of either the USB port or the ...

  6. Extensible Host Controller Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Host_Controller...

    The eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) is a technical specification that provides a detailed framework for the functioning of a computer's host controller for Universal Serial Bus (USB). Known alternately as the USB 3.0 host controller specification, xHCI is designed to be backward compatible, supporting a wide range of USB devices ...

  7. Wireless USB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_USB

    Wireless USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a short-range, high-bandwidth wireless radio communication protocol created by the Wireless USB Promoter Group, which is intended to increase the availability of general USB-based technologies. It is unrelated to Wi-Fi and different from the Cypress Wireless USB offerings.

  8. USB Implementers Forum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Implementers_Forum

    USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) is a nonprofit organization created to promote and maintain USB (Universal Serial Bus), a set of specifications and transmission procedures for a type of cable connection that has since become used widely for electronic equipment.

  9. USB mass storage device class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class

    The Linux kernel has supported USB mass-storage devices since version 2.3.47 [3] (2001, backported to kernel 2.2.18 [4]).This support includes quirks and silicon/firmware bug workarounds as well as additional functionality for devices and controllers (vendor-enabled functions such as ATA command pass-through for ATA-USB bridges, used for S.M.A.R.T. or temperature monitoring, controlling the ...
