Say Y here if you want the USB core & hub drivers to produce a bunch
|
|
of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
|

problem with USB support and want to see more of what is going on.

|

Say Y here if you want the USB core to always announce the
|
|
idVendor, idProduct, Manufacturer, Product, and SerialNumber
|
|
strings for every new USB device to the syslog. This option is
|
|
usually used by distro vendors to help with debugging and to
|
|
let users know what specific device was added to the machine
|
|
in what location.
|
|
|
|
If you do not want this kind of information sent to the system
|
|
log, or have any doubts about this, say N here.

---help---
|
|
If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
|
|
systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
|
|
which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
|
|
busses, and for every connected device a file named
|
|
"/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
|
|
device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
|
|
to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
|
|
they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
|
|
|
|
You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
|
|
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
|
|
|
|
For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
|
|
<file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.
|
|
|
|
Modern Linux systems do not use this.
|
|
|
|
Usbfs entries are files and not character devices; usbfs can't
|
|
handle Access Control Lists (ACL) which are the default way to
|
|
grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a desktop
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
The usbfs functionality is replaced by real device-nodes managed by
|
|
udev. These nodes lived in /dev/bus/usb and are used by libusb.

---help---
|
|
Userspace access to USB devices is granted by device-nodes exported
|
|
directly from the usbdev in sysfs. Old versions of the driver
|
|
core and udev needed additional class devices to export device nodes.
|
|
|
|
These additional devices are difficult to handle in userspace, if
|
|
information about USB interfaces must be available. One device
|
|
contains the device node, the other device contains the interface
|
|
data. Both devices are at the same level in sysfs (siblings) and one
|
|
can't access the other. The device node created directly by the
|
|
usb device is the parent device of the interface and therefore
|
|
easily accessible from the interface event.
|
|
|
|
This option provides backward compatibility for libusb device
|
|
nodes (lsusb) when usbfs is not used, and the following udev rule
|
|
doesn't exist:
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
|
|
NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"

config USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS

bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation"
|
|
depends on USB
|
|
help
|
|
If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
|
|
allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
|
|
This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
|
|
of device (like USB printers).
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure about this, say N here.
|
|
|
|
config USB_SUSPEND
|
|
bool "USB runtime power management (autosuspend) and wakeup"
|
|
depends on USB && PM_RUNTIME
|
|
help
|
|
If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
|
|
"power/control" file to enable or disable autosuspend for
|
|
individual USB peripherals (see
|
|
Documentation/usb/power-management.txt for more details).
|
|
|
|
Also, USB "remote wakeup" signaling is supported, whereby some
|
|
USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
|
|
their parent hub. That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
|
|
could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure about this, say N here.

help
|
|
If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
|
|
product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
|
|
rejected during enumeration. This behavior is required by the
|
|
USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
|
|
"Targeted Peripherals List". "Embedded Hosts" are likewise
|
|
allowed to support only a limited number of peripherals.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
|
|
warning and enumeration will continue. That's more like what
|
|
normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
|
|
convenient for many stages of product development.

config USB_OTG_BLACKLIST_HUB

bool "Disable external hubs"

|

help
|
|
If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
|
|
external hubs. OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
|
|
and software costs by not supporting external hubs. So
|
|
are "Embedded Hosts" that don't offer OTG support.
