1 What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../authorized
4 Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
6 Authorized devices are available for use by device
7 drivers, non-authorized one are not. By default, wired
8 USB devices are authorized.
10 Certified Wireless USB devices are not authorized
11 initially and should be (by writing 1) after the
12 device has been authenticated.
14 What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_cdid
17 Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
19 For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
21 A devices's CDID, as 16 space-separated hex octets.
23 What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_ck
26 Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
28 For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
30 Write the device's connection key (CK) to start the
31 authentication of the device. The CK is 16
32 space-separated hex octets.
34 What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../wusb_disconnect
37 Contact: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>
39 For Certified Wireless USB devices only.
41 Write a 1 to force the device to disconnect
42 (equivalent to unplugging a wired USB device).
44 What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id
46 Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
48 Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
49 dynamically add a new device ID to a USB device driver.
50 This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
51 was included in the driver's static device ID support
52 table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
53 idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass.
54 The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
55 interface class is optional.
56 Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
57 for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
58 # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
60 Reading from this file will list all dynamically added
61 device IDs in the same format, with one entry per
63 # cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
68 The list will be truncated at PAGE_SIZE bytes due to
71 What: /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/.../new_id
73 Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
75 For serial USB drivers, this attribute appears under the
76 extra bus folder "usb-serial" in sysfs; apart from that
77 difference, all descriptions from the entry
78 "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id" apply.
80 What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../remove_id
82 Contact: CHENG Renquan <rqcheng@smu.edu.sg>
84 Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
85 that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
86 The format for the device ID is:
87 idVendor idProduct. After successfully
88 removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
89 device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
90 match the driver to the device. For example:
91 # echo "046d c315" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/remove_id
93 Reading from this file will list the dynamically added
94 device IDs, exactly like reading from the entry
95 "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id"
97 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_hardware_lpm
99 Contact: Andiry Xu <andiry.xu@amd.com>
101 If CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is set and a USB 2.0 lpm-capable device
102 is plugged in to a xHCI host which support link PM, it will
103 perform a LPM test; if the test is passed and host supports
104 USB2 hardware LPM (xHCI 1.0 feature), USB2 hardware LPM will
105 be enabled for the device and the USB device directory will
106 contain a file named power/usb2_hardware_lpm. The file holds
107 a string value (enable or disable) indicating whether or not
108 USB2 hardware LPM is enabled for the device. Developer can
109 write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to the file to enable/disable the
112 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../removable
114 Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
116 Some information about whether a given USB device is
117 physically fixed to the platform can be inferred from a
118 combination of hub descriptor bits and platform-specific data
119 such as ACPI. This file will read either "removable" or
120 "fixed" if the information is available, and "unknown"
123 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../ltm_capable
125 Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com>
127 USB 3.0 devices may optionally support Latency Tolerance
128 Messaging (LTM). They indicate their support by setting a bit
129 in the bmAttributes field of their SuperSpeed BOS descriptors.
130 If that bit is set for the device, ltm_capable will read "yes".
131 If the device doesn't support LTM, the file will read "no".
132 The file will be present for all speeds of USB devices, and will
133 always read "no" for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.
135 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
137 Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
139 The /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
140 is usb port device's sysfs directory.
142 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/connect_type
144 Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
146 Some platforms provide usb port connect types through ACPI.
147 This attribute is to expose these information to user space.
148 The file will read "hotplug", "wired" and "not used" if the
149 information is available, and "unknown" otherwise.
151 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_l1_timeout
153 Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
155 USB 2.0 devices may support hardware link power management (LPM)
156 L1 sleep state. The usb2_lpm_l1_timeout attribute allows
157 tuning the timeout for L1 inactivity timer (LPM timer), e.g.
158 needed inactivity time before host requests the device to go to L1 sleep.
159 Useful for power management tuning.
160 Supported values are 0 - 65535 microseconds.
162 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_besl
164 Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
166 USB 2.0 devices that support hardware link power management (LPM)
167 L1 sleep state now use a best effort service latency value (BESL) to
168 indicate the best effort to resumption of service to the device after the
169 initiation of the resume event.
170 If the device does not have a preferred besl value then the host can select
171 one instead. This usb2_lpm_besl attribute allows to tune the host selected besl
172 value in order to tune power saving and service latency.
174 Supported values are 0 - 15.
175 More information on how besl values map to microseconds can be found in
176 USB 2.0 ECN Errata for Link Power Management, section 4.10)
