/proc/bus/usb filesystem output
|
|
===============================
|
|
(version 2003.05.30)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The usbfs filesystem for USB devices is traditionally mounted at
|
|
/proc/bus/usb. It provides the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, as well as
|
|
the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: If /proc/bus/usb appears empty, and a host controller
|
|
driver has been linked, then you need to mount the
|
|
filesystem. Issue the command (as root):
|
|
|
|
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
|
|
|
|
An alternative and more permanent method would be to add
|
|
|
|
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
|
|
|
|
to /etc/fstab. This will mount usbfs at each reboot.
|
|
You can then issue `cat /proc/bus/usb/devices` to extract
|
|
USB device information, and user mode drivers can use usbfs
|
|
to interact with USB devices.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of mount options supported by usbfs.
|
|
Consult the source code (linux/drivers/usb/core/inode.c) for
|
|
information about those options.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The filesystem has been renamed from "usbdevfs" to
|
|
"usbfs", to reduce confusion with "devfs". You may
|
|
still see references to the older "usbdevfs" name.
|
|
|
|
For more information on mounting the usbfs file system, see the
|
|
"USB Device Filesystem" section of the USB Guide. The latest copy
|
|
of the USB Guide can be found at http://www.linux-usb.org/
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD FILES:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Each connected USB device has one file. The BBB indicates the bus
|
|
number. The DDD indicates the device address on that bus. Both
|
|
of these numbers are assigned sequentially, and can be reused, so
|
|
you can't rely on them for stable access to devices. For example,
|
|
it's relatively common for devices to re-enumerate while they are
|
|
still connected (perhaps someone jostled their power supply, hub,
|
|
or USB cable), so a device might be 002/027 when you first connect
|
|
it and 002/048 sometime later.
|
|
|
|
These files can be read as binary data. The binary data consists
|
|
of first the device descriptor, then the descriptors for each
|
|
configuration of the device. That information is also shown in
|
|
text form by the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, described later.
|
|
|
|
These files may also be used to write user-level drivers for the USB
|
|
devices. You would open the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD file read/write,
|
|
read its descriptors to make sure it's the device you expect, and then
|
|
bind to an interface (or perhaps several) using an ioctl call. You
|
|
would issue more ioctls to the device to communicate to it using
|
|
control, bulk, or other kinds of USB transfers. The IOCTLs are
|
|
listed in the <linux/usbdevice_fs.h> file, and at this writing the
|
|
source code (linux/drivers/usb/core/devio.c) is the primary reference
|
|
for how to access devices through those files.
|
|
|
|
Note that since by default these BBB/DDD files are writable only by
|
|
root, only root can write such user mode drivers. You can selectively
|
|
grant read/write permissions to other users by using "chmod". Also,
|
|
usbfs mount options such as "devmode=0666" may be helpful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE /proc/bus/usb/devices FILE:
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
In /proc/bus/usb/devices, each device's output has multiple
|
|
lines of ASCII output.
|
|
I made it ASCII instead of binary on purpose, so that someone
|
|
can obtain some useful data from it without the use of an
|
|
auxiliary program. However, with an auxiliary program, the numbers
|
|
in the first 4 columns of each "T:" line (topology info:
|
|
Lev, Prnt, Port, Cnt) can be used to build a USB topology diagram.
|
|
|
|
Each line is tagged with a one-character ID for that line:
|
|
|
|
T = Topology (etc.)
|
|
B = Bandwidth (applies only to USB host controllers, which are
|
|
virtualized as root hubs)
|
|
D = Device descriptor info.
|
|
P = Product ID info. (from Device descriptor, but they won't fit
|
|
together on one line)
|
|
S = String descriptors.
|
|
C = Configuration descriptor info. (* = active configuration)
|
|
I = Interface descriptor info.
|
|
E = Endpoint descriptor info.
|
|
|

|
|
|__Topology info tag
|
|
|
|
Speed may be:
|
|
1.5 Mbit/s for low speed USB
|
|
12 Mbit/s for full speed USB
|
|
480 Mbit/s for high speed USB (added for USB 2.0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bandwidth info:
|
|
B: Alloc=ddd/ddd us (xx%), #Int=ddd, #Iso=ddd
|
|
| | | |__Number of isochronous requests
|
|
| | |__Number of interrupt requests
|
|
| |__Total Bandwidth allocated to this bus
|
|
|__Bandwidth info tag
|
|
|
|
Bandwidth allocation is an approximation of how much of one frame
|
|
(millisecond) is in use. It reflects only periodic transfers, which
|
|
are the only transfers that reserve bandwidth. Control and bulk
|
|
transfers use all other bandwidth, including reserved bandwidth that
|
|
is not used for transfers (such as for short packets).
|
|
|
|
The percentage is how much of the "reserved" bandwidth is scheduled by
|
|
those transfers. For a low or full speed bus (loosely, "USB 1.1"),
|
|
90% of the bus bandwidth is reserved. For a high speed bus (loosely,
|
|
"USB 2.0") 80% is reserved.

|
|
| |__Product description of this device as read from the device.
|
|

|
|

|
|
| |__Serial Number of this device as read from the device.
|
|
| For USB host controller drivers (virtual root hubs) this is
|
|
| some unique ID, normally a bus ID (address or slot name) that
|
|
| can't be shared with any other device.
|
|
|__String info tag

Configuration descriptor info:

|
|
| | | | |__Attributes
|
|
| | | |__ConfiguratioNumber
|
|
| | |__NumberOfInterfaces
|
|
| |__ "*" indicates the active configuration (others are " ")
|
|
|__Config info tag
|
|
|
|
USB devices may have multiple configurations, each of which act
|
|
rather differently. For example, a bus-powered configuration
|
|
might be much less capable than one that is self-powered. Only
|
|
one device configuration can be active at a time; most devices
|
|
have only one configuration.
|
|
|
|
Each configuration consists of one or more interfaces. Each
|
|
interface serves a distinct "function", which is typically bound
|
|
to a different USB device driver. One common example is a USB
|
|
speaker with an audio interface for playback, and a HID interface
|
|
for use with software volume control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interface descriptor info (can be multiple per Config):
|
|
|
|
I:* If#=dd Alt=dd #EPs=dd Cls=xx(sssss) Sub=xx Prot=xx Driver=ssss
|
|
| | | | | | | | |__Driver name
|
|
| | | | | | | | or "(none)"
|
|
| | | | | | | |__InterfaceProtocol
|
|
| | | | | | |__InterfaceSubClass
|
|
| | | | | |__InterfaceClass
|
|
| | | | |__NumberOfEndpoints
|
|
| | | |__AlternateSettingNumber
|
|
| | |__InterfaceNumber
|
|
| |__ "*" indicates the active altsetting (others are " ")
|
|
|__Interface info tag
|
|
|
|
A given interface may have one or more "alternate" settings.
|
|
For example, default settings may not use more than a small
|
|
amount of periodic bandwidth. To use significant fractions
|
|
of bus bandwidth, drivers must select a non-default altsetting.
|
|
|
|
Only one setting for an interface may be active at a time, and
|
|
only one driver may bind to an interface at a time. Most devices
|
|
have only one alternate setting per interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Endpoint descriptor info (can be multiple per Interface):
|
|
|
|
E: Ad=xx(s) Atr=xx(ssss) MxPS=dddd Ivl=dddss
|
|
| | | | |__Interval (max) between transfers
|
|
| | | |__EndpointMaxPacketSize
|
|
| | |__Attributes(EndpointType)
|
|
| |__EndpointAddress(I=In,O=Out)
|
|
|__Endpoint info tag
|
|
|
|
The interval is nonzero for all periodic (interrupt or isochronous)
|
|
endpoints. For high speed endpoints the transfer interval may be
|
|
measured in microseconds rather than milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
For high speed periodic endpoints, the "MaxPacketSize" reflects
|
|
the per-microframe data transfer size. For "high bandwidth"
|
|
endpoints, that can reflect two or three packets (for up to
|
|
3KBytes every 125 usec) per endpoint.
|
|
|
|
With the Linux-USB stack, periodic bandwidth reservations use the
|
|
transfer intervals and sizes provided by URBs, which can be less
|
|
than those found in endpoint descriptor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a user or script is interested only in Topology info, for
|
|
example, use something like "grep ^T: /proc/bus/usb/devices"
|
|
for only the Topology lines. A command like
|
|
"grep -i ^[tdp]: /proc/bus/usb/devices" can be used to list
|
|
only the lines that begin with the characters in square brackets,
|
|
where the valid characters are TDPCIE. With a slightly more able
|
|
script, it can display any selected lines (for example, only T, D,
|
|
and P lines) and change their output format. (The "procusb"
|
|
Perl script is the beginning of this idea. It will list only
|
|
selected lines [selected from TBDPSCIE] or "All" lines from
|
|
/proc/bus/usb/devices.)
|
|
|
|
The Topology lines can be used to generate a graphic/pictorial
|
|
of the USB devices on a system's root hub. (See more below
|
|
on how to do this.)
|
|
|
|
The Interface lines can be used to determine what driver is
|
|
being used for each device, and which altsetting it activated.
|
|
|
|
The Configuration lines could be used to list maximum power
|
|
(in milliamps) that a system's USB devices are using.
|
|
For example, "grep ^C: /proc/bus/usb/devices".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an example, from a system which has a UHCI root hub,
|
|
an external hub connected to the root hub, and a mouse and
|
|
a serial converter connected to the external hub.

Selecting only the "T:" and "I:" lines from this (for example, by using
