7 help
8 Say Y here if you want the USB core & hub drivers to produce a bunch
9 of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
10 problem with USB support and want to see more of what is going on.

18 ---help---
19 If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
20 systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
21 which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
22 busses, and for every connected device a file named
23 "/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
24 device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
25 to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
26 they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
27
28 You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
29 mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
30
31 For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
32 <file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.

Kay Sievers9f8b17e2007-03-13 15:59:31 +010034 Usbfs files can't handle Access Control Lists (ACL), which are the
35 default way to grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a
36 desktop system. The usbfs functionality is replaced by real
37 device-nodes managed by udev. These nodes live in /dev/bus/usb and
38 are used by libusb.

44 ---help---
45 Userspace access to USB devices is granted by device-nodes exported
46 directly from the usbdev in sysfs. Old versions of the driver
47 core and udev needed additional class devices to export device nodes.
48
49 These additional devices are difficult to handle in userspace, if
50 information about USB interfaces must be available. One device contains
51 the device node, the other device contains the interface data. Both
52 devices are at the same level in sysfs (siblings) and one can't access
53 the other. The device node created directly by the usbdev is the parent
54 device of the interface and therefore easily accessible from the interface
55 event.
56
57 This option provides backward compatibility if needed.

60 bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
61 depends on USB && EXPERIMENTAL
62 help
63 If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
64 allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
65 This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
66 of device (like USB printers).
67
68 If you are unsure about this, say N here.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070072 depends on USB && PM && EXPERIMENTAL
73 help
74 If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
75 "power/state" file to suspend or resume individual USB
David Brownellf3f32532005-09-22 22:37:29 -070076 peripherals.
77
78 Also, USB "remote wakeup" signaling is supported, whereby some
79 USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
80 their parent hub. That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
81 could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.

93 bool "Rely on OTG Targeted Peripherals List"
94 depends on USB_OTG
95 default y
96 help
97 If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
98 product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
99 rejected during enumeration. This behavior is required by the
100 USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
101 "Targeted Peripherals List".
102
103 Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
104 warning and enumeration will continue. That's more like what
105 normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
106 convenient for many stages of product development.

110 depends on USB_OTG
111 help
112 If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
113 external hubs. OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
114 and software costs by not supporting external hubs.
