.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The USB device serves a one-level directory,
giving access to six files.
They provide an interface to the device (slave) mode of the 823/850 USB controller,
allowing an Inferno system to provide services to the USB host.
The controller's endpoints are configured as follows.
Endpoint 0 is the default USB control endpoint, as required by the USB standard.
Endpoint 1 responds to bulk output requests from the host;
endpoint 2 responds to bulk input requests from the host;
endpoint 3 is unused.
.PP
The data file
.B usbdata
provides read and write access to endpoints 1 and 2.
When the file is read, it returns data written to endpoint 1 by the USB host.
Data written to the file is provided in response to the host's read requests
on endpoint 2.
Output data is converted to packets limited to the maximum packet
length for the endpoint (see the
.B maxpkt
control request, below), which is 1023 bytes by default.
Note that zero length records can be transmitted and
received on USB.
.PP
The file
.B usbsetup
provides read and write access to endpoint 0.
When the file is read, it returns
SETUP
requests from the host.
If a given request requires a reply, the reply must be written to the file
(host requests will automatically be NAKd until then).
Requests and replies are in binary form as defined in the USB specification,
except for the reset message described below.
The driver itself interprets all
SET_ADDRESS
requests from the host, and sets the controller's address accordingly.
That request will therefore not be visible on the
.B usbsetup
file.
.PP
A USB bus or device reset sets the controller's USB address  to zero,
the USB `default address' for configuration.
It also resets all data toggles to DATA0.
A subsequent read of
.B usbsetup
will return the following special 8-byte reset message:
.IP
.EX
byte 16rFF, byte 16rFF, byte 'r', byte 'e',
.br
byte 's', byte 'e', byte 't', byte '\en'
.EE
.PP
which does not resemble a normal SETUP message.
Further reads and writes on
.B usbdata
will return errors until that file has been closed and reopened.
.PP
The control file
.B usbctl
receives textual commands to set device parameters and responses:
.TP
.BI maxpkt "n nb"
Set the maximum packet size for endpoint
.I n
to
.I nb
bytes.
.I Nb
must be between 8 and 64 bytes for the control endpoint 0,
and between 1 and 1023 bytes for the other endpoints.
The default is 8 bytes for endpoint 0 and 1023 bytes for the others.
.TP
.BI rdtog "n t"
Set the data toggle for input in endpoint
.I n
to
.IR t ,
which must be either 0 (DATA0) or 1 (DATA1).
.TP
.BI stall "n"
Cause endpoint
.I n
to respond to host IN and OUT tokens by stalling.
.TP
.BI unstall "n"
Cancel the effect of a previous
.B stall
request on endpoint
.IR n .
.TP
.BI wrtog "n t"
Set the data toggle for the next packet output by endpoint
.I n
to
.IR t ,
which must be either 0 (DATA0) or 1 (DATA1).
.PP
Stalling an endpoint causes IN and OUT
transactions from the host to return a `stalled' error status.
On the control endpoint (endpoint 0), however,
SETUP transactions will still arrive on
.BR usbsetup ,
and the arrival of a SETUP will automatically clear the `stalled' status
for the endpoint,
allowing an application to reject a
control request (by stalling the subsequent status transaction)
without stalling the control endpoint by rejecting subsequent
SETUP transactions.
.PP
The status file
.B usbstat
is a read-only file,
containing one line of statistics for each endpoint, giving:
endpoint number; data toggles; maximum packet size;
count of input and output bytes and packets; and counts
of various error conditions.
.PP
The read-only file
.B usbaddr
contains a single number giving the current device address.
.PP
The read-only file
.B usbframe
contains a single line giving the current USB frame number.
