Class definitions for Communication Devices 1.2 (.zip file format, size 3.43 MB) Class definitions for Communication Devices 1.1; App Note, Migrating from RS-232 to USB Bridge Specification. Explains the use of USB CDC (Communications Device Class) ACM (Abstract Control Model) to emulate serial ports over USB.
Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) [1] is an open standard.. Die shot of a VIA VT6307 Integrated Host Controller used for IEEE 1394A communication. When applied to an IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire; i.LINK or Lynx) card, OHCI means that the card supports a standard interface to the PC and can be used by the OHCI IEEE 1394 drivers that come with all modern operating systems.
The xHCI reduces the need for periodic device polling by allowing a USB 3.0 or later device to notify the host controller when it has data available to read, and moves the management of polling USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices that use interrupt transactions from the CPU-driven USB driver to the USB host controller.
Badly written device drivers can cause severe damage to a system (e.g., BSoD or data corruption) since all standard drivers have high privileges when accessing the kernel directly. The User-Mode Driver Framework insulates the kernel from the problems of direct driver access, instead providing a new class of driver with a dedicated application ...
Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF, formerly Windows Driver Foundation), is a set of Microsoft tools and libraries that aid in the creation of device drivers for Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. It complements Windows Driver Model, abstracting away much of the boilerplate complexity in writing Windows drivers.
To allow for voltage drops, the voltage at the host port, hub port, and device are specified to be at least 4.75 V, 4.4 V, and 4.35 V respectively by USB 2.0 for low-power devices, [a] but must be at least 4.75 V at all locations for high-power [b] devices (however, high-power devices are required to operate as a low-powered device so that they ...
The USB mass storage device class (also known as USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols, specifically a USB Device Class, defined by the USB Implementers Forum that makes a USB device accessible to a host computing device and enables file transfers between the host and the USB device. To a host, the USB device acts as an ...
Retrieval of the descriptors would especially allow for determining the USB Class, VID, and PID, which are often used for determining the correct USB driver for the device. Also, after the descriptors is retrieved, the host performs another control transfer exchange, but instead to set the address of the USB device to a new ADDRx.
