This adds support for using USB Ethernet dongles in host mode. This is just the framework - drivers will come later. A new config option called CONFIG_USB_HOST_ETHER can be defined in board config files to switch this on. The was originally written by NVIDIA and was cleaned up for release by the Chromium authors.

USB Support for PIP405 and MIP405 (UHCI)
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
The USB support is implemented on the base of the UHCI Host
|
|
controller.
|
|
|
|
Currently supported are USB Hubs, USB Keyboards, USB Floppys, USB
|
|
flash sticks and USB network adaptors.
|
|
Tested with a TEAC Floppy TEAC FD-05PUB and Chicony KU-8933 Keyboard.
|
|
|
|
How it works:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The USB (at least the USB UHCI) needs a frame list (4k), transfer
|
|
descripor and queue headers which are all located in the main memory.
|
|
The UHCI allocates every milisecond the PCI bus and reads the current
|
|
frame pointer. This may cause to crash the OS during boot. So the USB
|
|
_MUST_ be stopped during OS boot. This is the reason, why the USB is
|
|
NOT automatically started during start-up. If someone needs the USB
|
|
he has to start it and should therefore be aware that he had to stop
|
|
it before booting the OS.
|
|
|
|
For USB keyboards this can be done by a script which is automatically
|
|
started after the U-Boot is up and running. To boot an OS with a an
|
|
USB keyboard another script is necessary, which first disables the
|
|
USB and then executes the boot command. If the boot command fails,
|
|
the script can reenable the USB kbd.
|
|
|
|
Common USB Commands:
|
|
- usb start:
|
|
- usb reset: (re)starts the USB. All USB devices will be
|
|
initialized and a device tree is build for them.
|
|
- usb tree: shows all USB devices in a tree like display
|
|
- usb info [dev]: shows all USB infos of the device dev, or of all
|
|
the devices
|
|
- usb stop [f]: stops the USB. If f==1 the USB will also stop if
|
|
an USB keyboard is assigned as stdin. The stdin
|
|
is then switched to serial input.
|
|
Storage USB Commands:
|
|
- usb scan: scans the USB for storage devices.The USB must be
|
|
running for this command (usb start)
|
|
- usb device [dev]: show or set current USB staorage device
|
|
- usb part [dev]: print partition table of one or all USB storage
|
|
devices
|
|
- usb read addr blk# cnt:
|
|
read `cnt' blocks starting at block `blk#'to
|
|
memory address `addr'
|
|
- usbboot addr dev:part:
|
|
boot from USB device
|
|
|
|
Config Switches:
|
|
----------------
|
|
CONFIG_CMD_USB enables basic USB support and the usb command
|
|
CONFIG_USB_UHCI defines the lowlevel part.A lowlevel part must be defined
|
|
if using CONFIG_CMD_USB
|
|
CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD enables the USB Keyboard
|
|
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE enables the USB storage devices
|
|
CONFIG_USB_HOST_ETHER enables USB ethernet dongle support
