This is necessarily an evolving work, and - includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview. - ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and - "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has - more information. - - * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements - such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes. - The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB - peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9". - - * Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include - host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral - controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or - cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters. - - * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral - functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral - but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team. - -Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in -them. - -core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the - usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq"). - -host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This - includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might - be used with more specialized "embedded" systems. - -gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and - the various gadget drivers which talk to them. - - -Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the -first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into. - -image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or - digital cameras. -../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem, - like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc. -../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras, - radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l - subsystem. -../net/ - This is for network drivers. -serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers. -storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers. -class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit - into any of the above categories, and work for a range - of USB Class specified devices. -misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit - into any of the above categories. |
