| 25 | USB Support for PIP405 and MIP405 (UHCI) |
| 26 | ======================================== |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The USB support is implemented on the base of the UHCI Host |
| 29 | controller. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Currently supported are USB Hubs, USB Keyboards and USB Floppys. |
| 32 | Tested with a TEAC Floppy TEAC FD-05PUB and Chicony KU-8933 Keyboard. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | How it works: |
| 35 | ------------- |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The USB (at least the USB UHCI) needs a frame list (4k), transfer |
| 38 | descripor and queue headers which are all located in the main memory. |
| 39 | The UHCI allocates every milisecond the PCI bus and reads the current |
| 40 | frame pointer. This may cause to crash the OS during boot. So the USB |
| 41 | _MUST_ be stopped during OS boot. This is the reason, why the USB is |
| 42 | NOT automatically started during start-up. If someone needs the USB |
| 43 | he has to start it and should therefore be aware that he had to stop |
| 44 | it before booting the OS. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | For USB keyboards this can be done by a script which is automatically |
| 47 | started after the U-Boot is up and running. To boot an OS with a an |
| 48 | USB keyboard another script is necessary, which first disables the |
| 49 | USB and then executes the boot command. If the boot command fails, |
| 50 | the script can reenable the USB kbd. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Common USB Commands: |
| 53 | - usb start: |
| 54 | - usb reset: (re)starts the USB. All USB devices will be |
| 55 | initialized and a device tree is build for them. |
| 56 | - usb tree: shows all USB devices in a tree like display |
| 57 | - usb info [dev]: shows all USB infos of the device dev, or of all |
| 58 | the devices |
| 59 | - usb stop [f]: stops the USB. If f==1 the USB will also stop if |
| 60 | an USB keyboard is assigned as stdin. The stdin |
| 61 | is then switched to serial input. |
| 62 | Storage USB Commands: |
| 63 | - usb scan: scans the USB for storage devices.The USB must be |
| 64 | running for this command (usb start) |
| 65 | - usb device [dev]: show or set current USB staorage device |
| 66 | - usb part [dev]: print partition table of one or all USB storage |
| 67 | devices |
| 68 | - usb read addr blk# cnt: |
| 69 | read `cnt' blocks starting at block `blk#'to |
| 70 | memory address `addr' |
| 71 | - usbboot addr dev:part: |
| 72 | boot from USB device |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Config Switches: |
| 75 | ---------------- |
| 76 | CFG_CMD_USB enables basic USB support and the usb command |
| 77 | CONFIG_USB_UHCI defines the lowlevel part.A lowlevel part must be defined if |
| 78 | using CFG_CMD_USB |
| 79 | CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD enables the USB Keyboard |
| 80 | CONFIG_USB_STORAGE enables the USB storage devices |
