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>

21 A devices's CDID, as 16 space-separated hex octets.

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.

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 RefIdVendor RefIdProduct
54 The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
55 rest is optional. The Ref* tuple can be used to tell the
56 driver to use the same driver_data for the new device as
57 it is used for the reference device.
58 Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
59 for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
60 # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
62 Here add a new device (0458:7045) using driver_data from
63 an already supported device (0458:704c):
64 # echo "0458 7045 0 0458 704c" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
66 Reading from this file will list all dynamically added
67 device IDs in the same format, with one entry per
69 # cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
74 The list will be truncated at PAGE_SIZE bytes due to
77 What: /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/.../new_id
79 Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
81 For serial USB drivers, this attribute appears under the
82 extra bus folder "usb-serial" in sysfs; apart from that
83 difference, all descriptions from the entry
84 "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id" apply.
86 What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../remove_id
88 Contact: CHENG Renquan <rqcheng@smu.edu.sg>
90 Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
91 that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
92 The format for the device ID is:
93 idVendor idProduct. After successfully
94 removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
95 device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
96 match the driver to the device. For example:
97 # echo "046d c315" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/remove_id
99 Reading from this file will list the dynamically added
100 device IDs, exactly like reading from the entry
101 "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id"
103 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_hardware_lpm
105 Contact: Andiry Xu <andiry.xu@amd.com>
107 If CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is set and a USB 2.0 lpm-capable device
108 is plugged in to a xHCI host which support link PM, it will
109 perform a LPM test; if the test is passed and host supports
110 USB2 hardware LPM (xHCI 1.0 feature), USB2 hardware LPM will
111 be enabled for the device and the USB device directory will
112 contain a file named power/usb2_hardware_lpm. The file holds
113 a string value (enable or disable) indicating whether or not
114 USB2 hardware LPM is enabled for the device. Developer can
115 write y/Y/1 or n/N/0 to the file to enable/disable the
118 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../removable
120 Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
122 Some information about whether a given USB device is
123 physically fixed to the platform can be inferred from a
124 combination of hub descriptor bits and platform-specific data
125 such as ACPI. This file will read either "removable" or
126 "fixed" if the information is available, and "unknown"
129 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../ltm_capable
131 Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com>
133 USB 3.0 devices may optionally support Latency Tolerance
134 Messaging (LTM). They indicate their support by setting a bit
135 in the bmAttributes field of their SuperSpeed BOS descriptors.
136 If that bit is set for the device, ltm_capable will read "yes".
137 If the device doesn't support LTM, the file will read "no".
138 The file will be present for all speeds of USB devices, and will
139 always read "no" for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.
141 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
143 Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
145 The /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX
146 is usb port device's sysfs directory.
148 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../(hub interface)/portX/connect_type
150 Contact: Lan Tianyu <tianyu.lan@intel.com>
152 Some platforms provide usb port connect types through ACPI.
153 This attribute is to expose these information to user space.
154 The file will read "hotplug", "wired" and "not used" if the
155 information is available, and "unknown" otherwise.
157 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_l1_timeout
159 Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
161 USB 2.0 devices may support hardware link power management (LPM)
162 L1 sleep state. The usb2_lpm_l1_timeout attribute allows
163 tuning the timeout for L1 inactivity timer (LPM timer), e.g.
164 needed inactivity time before host requests the device to go to L1 sleep.
165 Useful for power management tuning.
166 Supported values are 0 - 65535 microseconds.
168 What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/usb2_lpm_besl
170 Contact: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com>
172 USB 2.0 devices that support hardware link power management (LPM)
173 L1 sleep state now use a best effort service latency value (BESL) to
174 indicate the best effort to resumption of service to the device after the
175 initiation of the resume event.
176 If the device does not have a preferred besl value then the host can select
177 one instead. This usb2_lpm_besl attribute allows to tune the host selected besl
178 value in order to tune power saving and service latency.
180 Supported values are 0 - 15.
181 More information on how besl values map to microseconds can be found in
182 USB 2.0 ECN Errata for Link Power Management, section 4.10)
