| 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 Sievers | 9f8b17e | 2007-03-13 15:59:31 +0100 | [diff] [blame^] | 34 | 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. |

| 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). |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 114 | and software costs by not supporting external hubs. |
