17. Protocols — USB Support¶

17.1. USB2 Host Controller Protocol¶

USB2 Host Controller Protocol and USB Host Controller Protocol Overview describe the USB2 Host Controller Protocol. This protocol provides an I/O abstraction for a USB2 Host Controller. The USB2 Host Controller is a hardware component that interfaces to a Universal Serial Bus (USB). It moves data between system memory and devices on the USB by processing data structures and generating transactions on the USB. This protocol is used by a USB Bus Driver to perform all data transaction over the Universal Serial Bus. It also provides services to manage the USB root hub that is integrated into the USB Host Controller. USB device drivers do not use this protocol directly. Instead, they use the I/O abstraction produced by the USB Bus Driver. This protocol should only be used by drivers that require direct access to the USB bus.

17.1.1. USB Host Controller Protocol Overview¶

The USB Host Controller Protocol is used by code, typically USB bus drivers, running in the EFI boot services environment, to perform data transactions over a USB bus. In addition, it provides an abstraction for the root hub of the USB bus.

The interfaces provided in the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL are used to manage data transactions on a USB bus. It also provides control methods for the USB root hub. The EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL is designed to support both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 - compliant host controllers.

The EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL abstracts basic functionality that is designed to operate with the EHCI, UHCI and OHCI standards. By using this protocol, a single USB bus driver can be implemented without knowing if the underlying USB host controller conforms to the XHCI, EHCI, OHCI or the UHCI standards.

Each instance of the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL corresponds to a USB host controller in a platform. The protocol is attached to the device handle of a USB host controller that is created by a device driver for the USB host controller’s parent bus type. For example, a USB host controller that is implemented as a PCI device would require a PCI device driver to produce an instance of the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL.

Description

This function is used to submit a control transfer to a target USB device specified by DeviceAddress. Control transfers are intended to support configuration/command/status type communication flows between host and USB device.

There are three control transfer types according to the data phase. If the TransferDirection parameter is EfiUsbNoData, Data is NULL, and DataLength is 0, then no data phase is present in the control transfer. If the TransferDirection parameter is EfiUsbDataOut, then Data specifies the data to be transmitted to the device, and DataLength specifies the number of bytes to transfer to the device. In this case, there is an OUT DATA stage followed by a SETUP stage. If the TransferDirection parameter is EfiUsbDataIn, then Data specifies the data to be received from the device, and DataLength specifies the number of bytes to receive from the device. In this case there is an IN DATA stage followed by a SETUP stage.

Translator is necessary to perform split transactions on low-speed or full-speed devices connected to a high-speed hub. Such transaction require the device connection information: device address and the port number of the hub that device is connected to. This information is passed through the fields of EFI_USB2_HC_TRANSACTION_TRANSLATOR structure. See Related Definitions for the structure field names. Translator is passed as NULL for the USB1.1 host controllers transfers or when the transfer is requested for high-speed device connected to USB2.0 controller.

If the control transfer has completed successfully, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If the transfer cannot be completed within the timeout specified by TimeOut, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If an error other than timeout occurs during the USB transfer, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed error code will be returned in the TransferResult parameter.

EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

TransferDirection is invalid.
TransferDirection, Data, and DataLength do not match one of the three control transfer types described above.
Request pointer is NULL.
MaximumPacketLength is not valid. If DeviceSpeed is EFI_USB_SPEED_LOW, then MaximumPacketLength must be 8. If DeviceSpeed is EFI_USB_SPEED_FULL or EFI_USB_SPEED_HIGH, then MaximumPacketLength must be 8, 16, 32, or 64. If DeviceSpeed is EFI_USB_SPEED_SUPER, then MaximumPacketLength must be 512.
TransferResult pointer is NULL.
Translator is NULL while the requested transfer requires split transaction. The conditions of the split transactions are described above in “Description” section.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The control transfer was completed successfully.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The control transfer could not be completed due to a lack of resources.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Some parameters are invalid. The possible invalid parameters are described in “Description” above.
EFI_TIMEOUT	The control transfer failed due to timeout.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The control transfer failed due to host controller or device error. Caller should check TransferResult for detailed error information.

DeviceAddress: Represents the address of the target device on the USB, which is assigned during USB enumeration.
EndPointAddress: The combination of an endpoint number and an endpoint direction of the target USB device. Each endpoint address supports data transfer in one direction except the control endpoint (whose default endpoint address is 0). It is the caller’s responsibility to make sure that the EndPointAddress represents a bulk endpoint.
DeviceSpeed: Indicates device speed. The supported values are EFI_USB_SPEED_FULL,EFI_USB_SPEED_HIGH or EFI_USB_SPEED_SUPER..
MaximumPacketLength: Indicates the maximum packet size the target endpoint is capable of sending or receiving.
DataBuffersNumber: Number of data buffers prepared for the transfer.
Data: Array of pointers to the buffers of data that will be transmitted to USB device or received from USB device.
DataLength: When input, indicates the size, in bytes, of the data buffers specified by Data. When output, indicates the actually transferred data size.
DataToggle: A pointer to the data toggle value. On input, it indicates the initial data toggle value the bulk transfer should adopt; on output, it is updated to indicate the data toggle value of the subsequent bulk transfer.
Translator: A pointer to the transaction translator data. See ControlTransfer() “Description” for the detailed information of this data structure.
TimeOut: Indicates the maximum time, in milliseconds, which the transfer is allowed to complete.
TransferResult: A pointer to the detailed result information of the bulk transfer. Refer to UsbControlTransfer() in USB I/O Protocol for transfer result types ( EFI_USB_ERR_x ).

Description

This function is used to submit bulk transfer to a target endpoint of a USB device. The target endpoint is specified by DeviceAddress and EndpointAddress. Bulk transfers are designed to support devices that need to communicate relatively large amounts of data at highly variable times where the transfer can use any available bandwidth. Bulk transfers can be used only by full-speed and high-speed devices.

High-speed bulk transfers can be performed using multiple data buffers. The number of buffers that are actually prepared for the transfer is specified by DataBuffersNumber. For full-speed bulk transfers this value is ignored.

Data represents a list of pointers to the data buffers. For full-speed bulk transfers only the data pointed by Data[0] shall be used. For high-speed transfers depending on DataLength there several data buffers can be used. The total number of buffers must not exceed EFI_USB_MAX_BULK_BUFFER_NUM. See Related Definitions for the EFI_USB_MAX_BULK_BUFFER_NUM value.

The data transfer direction is determined by the endpoint direction that is encoded in the EndPointAddress parameter. Refer to USB Specification, Revision 2.0 on the Endpoint Address encoding.

The DataToggle parameter is used to track target endpoint’s data sequence toggle bits. The USB provides a mechanism to guarantee data packet synchronization between data transmitter and receiver across multiple transactions. The data packet synchronization is achieved with the data sequence toggle bits and the DATA0/DATA1 PIDs. A bulk endpoint’s toggle sequence is initialized to DATA0 when the endpoint experiences a configuration event. It toggles between DATA0 and DATA1 in each successive data transfer. It is host’s responsibility to track the bulk endpoint’s data toggle sequence and set the correct value for each data packet. The input DataToggle value points to the data toggle value for the first data packet of this bulk transfer; the output DataToggle value points to the data toggle value for the last successfully transferred data packet of this bulk transfer. The caller should record the data toggle value for use in subsequent bulk transfers to the same endpoint.

If the bulk transfer is successful, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If USB transfer cannot be completed within the timeout specified by Timeout, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If an error other than timeout occurs during the USB transfer, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed status code is returned in TransferResult.

EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

Data is NULL.
DataLength is 0.
DeviceSpeed is not valid; the legal values are EFI_USB_SPEED_FULL, EFI_USB_SPEED_HIGH, or EFI_USB_SPEED_SUPER.
MaximumPacketLength is not valid. The legal value of this parameter is 64 or less for full-speed, 512 or less for high-speed, and 1024 or less for super-speed transactions.
DataToggle points to a value other than 0 and 1.
TransferResult is NULL.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The bulk transfer was completed successfully.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The bulk transfer could not be submitted due to lack of resource.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Some parameters are invalid. The possible invalid parameters are described in “Description” above.
EFI_TIMEOUT	The bulk transfer failed due to timeout.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The bulk transfer failed due to host controller or device error. Caller should check TransferResult for detailed error information.

  );

Parameters

This: A pointer to the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL is defined in USB2 Host Controller Protocol .
DeviceAddress: Represents the address of the target device on the USB, which is assigned during USB enumeration.
EndPointAddress: The combination of an endpoint number and an endpoint direction of the target USB device. Each endpoint address supports data transfer in one direction except the control endpoint (whose default endpoint address is zero). It is the caller’s responsibility to make sure that the EndPointAddress represents an interrupt endpoint.
DeviceSpeed: Indicates device speed. See Related Definitions in EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL.ControlTransfer() for a list of the supported values.
MaximumPacketLength: Indicates the maximum packet size the target endpoint is capable of sending or receiving.
IsNewTransfer: If TRUE, an asynchronous interrupt pipe is built between the host and the target interrupt endpoint. If FALSE, the specified asynchronous interrupt pipe is canceled. If TRUE, and an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
DataToggle: A pointer to the data toggle value. On input, it is valid when IsNewTransfer is TRUE, and it indicates the initial data toggle value the asynchronous interrupt transfer should adopt. On output, it is valid when IsNewTransfer is FALSE, and it is updated to indicate the data toggle value of the subsequent asynchronous interrupt transfer.
PollingInterval: Indicates the interval, in milliseconds, that the asynchronous interrupt transfer is polled. This parameter is required when IsNewTransfer is TRUE.
DataLength: Indicates the length of data to be received at the rate specified by PollingInterval from the target asynchronous interrupt endpoint. This parameter is only required when IsNewTransfer is TRUE.
Translator: A pointer to the transaction translator data.
CallBackFunction: The Callback function. This function is called at the rate specified by PollingInterval. This parameter is only required when IsNewTransfer is TRUE. Refer to UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() in USB I/O Protocol for the definition of this function type.
Context: The context that is passed to the CallBackFunction. This is an optional parameter and may be NULL.

Description

This function is used to submit asynchronous interrupt transfer to a target endpoint of a USB device. The target endpoint is specified by DeviceAddress and EndpointAddress. In the USB Specification, Revision 2.0, interrupt transfer is one of the four USB transfer types. In the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, interrupt transfer is divided further into synchronous interrupt transfer and asynchronous interrupt transfer.

An asynchronous interrupt transfer is typically used to query a device’s status at a fixed rate. For example, keyboard, mouse, and hub devices use this type of transfer to query their interrupt endpoints at a fixed rate. The asynchronous interrupt transfer is intended to support the interrupt transfer type of “submit once, execute periodically.” Unless an explicit request is made, the asynchronous transfer will never retire.

If IsNewTransfer is TRUE, then an interrupt transfer is started at a fixed rate. The rate is specified by PollingInterval, the size of the receive buffer is specified by DataLength, and the callback function is specified by CallBackFunction. Context specifies an optional context that is passed to the CallBackFunction each time it is called. The CallBackFunction is intended to provide a means for the host to periodically process interrupt transfer data.

If IsNewTransfer is TRUE, and an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.

If IsNewTransfer is FALSE, then the interrupt transfer is canceled.

EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

Data transfer direction indicated by EndPointAddress is other than EfiUsbDataIn.
IsNewTransfer is TRUE and DataLength is 0.
IsNewTransfer is TRUE and DataToggle points to a value other than 0 and 1.
IsNewTransfer is TRUE and PollingInterval is not in the range 1..255.
IsNewTransfer requested where an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The asynchronous interrupt transfer request has been successfully submitted or canceled.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Some parameters are invalid. The possible invalid parameters are described in “Description” above. When an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point and a new transfer is requested, EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The request could not be completed due to a lack of resources.

Description

This function is used to submit a synchronous interrupt transfer to a target endpoint of a USB device. The target endpoint is specified by DeviceAddress and EndpointAddress. In the USB Specification, Revision2.0, interrupt transfer is one of the four USB transfer types. In the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL , interrupt transfer is divided further into synchronous interrupt transfer and asynchronous interrupt transfer.

The synchronous interrupt transfer is designed to retrieve small amounts of data from a USB device through an interrupt endpoint. A synchronous interrupt transfer is only executed once for each request. This is the most significant difference from the asynchronous interrupt transfer.

If the synchronous interrupt transfer is successful, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If the USB transfer cannot be completed within the timeout specified by Timeout, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If an error other than timeout occurs during the USB transfer, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed status code is returned in TransferResult.

EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

Data is NULL.
DataLength is 0.
MaximumPacketLength is not valid. The legal value of this parameter should be 3072 or less for high-speed device, 64 or less for a full-speed device; for a slow device, it is limited to 8 or less. For the full-speed device, it should be 8, 16, 32, or 64; for the slow device, it is limited to 8.
DataToggle points to a value other than 0 and 1.
TransferResult is NULL.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The synchronous interrupt transfer was completed successfully.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The synchronous interrupt transfer could not be submitted due to lack of resource.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Some parameters are invalid. The possible invalid parameters are described in “Description” above.
EFI_TIMEOUT	The synchronous interrupt transfer failed due to timeout.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The synchronous interrupt transfer failed due to host controller or device error. Caller should check TransferResult for detailed error information.

Description

This function is used to submit isochronous transfer to a target endpoint of a USB device. The target endpoint is specified by DeviceAddress and EndpointAddress. Isochronous transfers are used when working with isochronous date. It provides periodic, continuous communication between the host and a device. Isochronous transfers can be used only by full-speed, high-speed, and super-speed devices.

High-speed isochronous transfers can be performed using multiple data buffers. The number of buffers that are actually prepared for the transfer is specified by DataBuffersNumber. For full-speed isochronous transfers this value is ignored.

Data represents a list of pointers to the data buffers. For full-speed isochronous transfers only the data pointed by Data[0] shall be used. For high-speed isochronous transfers and for the split transactions depending on DataLength there several data buffers can be used. For the high-speed isochronous transfers the total number of buffers must not exceed EFI_USB_MAX_ISO_BUFFER_NUM. For split transactions performed on full-speed device by high-speed host controller the total number of buffers is limited to EFI_USB_MAX_ISO_BUFFER_NUM1 See Related Definitions for the EFI_USB_MAX_ISO_BUFFER_NUM and EFI_USB_MAX_ISO_BUFFER_NUM1 values.

If the isochronous transfer is successful, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. The isochronous transfer is designed to be completed within one USB frame time, if it cannot be completed, EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If an error other than timeout occurs during the USB transfer, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed status code will be returned in TransferResult.

EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if one of the following conditions is satisfied:

Data is NULL.
DataLength is 0.
DeviceSpeed is not one of the supported values listed above.

17.2. USB Driver Model¶

17.2.1. Scope¶

Section USB Driver Model describes the USB Driver Model. This includes the behavior of USB Bus Drivers, the behavior of a USB Device Drivers, and a detailed description of the EFI USB I/O Protocol. This document provides enough material to implement a USB Bus Driver, and the tools required to design and implement USB Device Drivers. It does not provide any information on specific USB devices.

The material contained in this section is designed to extend this specification and the UEFI Driver Model in a way that supports USB device drivers and USB bus drivers. These extensions are provided in the form of USB specific protocols. This document provides the information required to implement a USB Bus Driver in system firmware. The document also contains the information required by driver writers to design and implement USB Device Drivers that a platform may need to boot a UEFI-compliant OS.

The USB Driver Model described here is intended to be a foundation on which a USB Bus Driver and a wide variety of USB Device Drivers can be created. USB Driver Model Overview

The USB Driver Stack includes the USB Bus Driver, USB Host Controller Driver, and individual USB device drivers.

Fig. 17.2 USB Bus Controller Handle¶

In the USB Bus Driver Design, the USB Bus Controller is managed by two drivers. One is USB Host Controller Driver, which consumes its parent bus EFI_XYZ_IO_PROTOCOL, and produces EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, and attaches it to the Bus Controller Handle. The other one is USB Bus Driver, which consumes EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, and performs bus enumeration. Figure USB Bus Controller Handle shows protocols that are attached to the USB Bus Controller Handle. Detailed descriptions are presented in the following sections.

17.2.2. USB Bus Driver¶

USB Bus Driver performs periodic Enumeration on the USB Bus. In USB bus enumeration, when a new USB controller is found, the bus driver does some standard configuration for that new controller, and creates a device handle for it. The EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL and EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL are attached to the device handle so that the USB controller can be accessed. The USB Bus Driver is also responsible for connecting USB device drivers to USB controllers. When a USB device is detached from a USB bus, the USB bus driver will stop that USB controller, and uninstall the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL and the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL from that handle. A detailed description is given in USB Hot-Plug Event.

17.2.2.1. USB Bus Driver Entry Point¶

Like all other device drivers, the entry point for a USB Bus Driver attaches the EFI Driver Binding Protocol to image handle of the USB Bus Driver.

17.2.2.2. Driver Binding Protocol for USB Bus Drivers¶

The Driver Binding Protocol contains three services. These are:
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Supported(),
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start() and
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop()

Supported() tests to see if the USB Bus Driver can manage a device handle. A USB Bus Driver can only manage a device handle that contains EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL.

The general idea is that the USB Bus Driver is a generic driver. Since there are several types of USB Host Controllers, an EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL is used to abstract the host controller interface. Actually, a USB Bus Driver only requires an EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL.

The Start() function tells the USB Bus Driver to start managing the USB Bus. In this function, the USB Bus Driver creates a device handle for the root hub, and creates a timer to monitor root hub connection changes.

The Stop() function tells the USB Bus Driver to stop managing a USB Host Bus Controller. The Stop() function simply deconfigures the devices attached to the root hub. The deconfiguration is a recursive process. If the device to be deconfigured is a USB hub, then all USB devices attached to its downstream ports will be deconfigured first, then itself. If all of the child devices handles have been destroyed then the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL is closed. Finally, the Stop() unction will then place the USB Host Bus Controller in a quiescent state.

17.2.2.3. USB Hot-Plug Event¶

Hot-Plug is one of the most important features provided by USB. A USB bus driver implements this feature through two methods. There are two types of hubs defined in the USB specification. One is the USB root hub, which is implemented in the USB Host controller. A timer event is created for the root hub. The other one is a USB Hub. An event is created for each hub that is correctly configured. All these events are associated with the same trigger which is USB bus numerator.

When USB bus enumeration is triggered, the USB Bus Driver checks the source of the event. This is required because the root hub differs from standard USB hub in checking the hub status. The status of a root hub is retrieved through the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, and that status of a standard USB hub is retrieved through a USB control transfer. A detailed description of the enumeration process is presented in the next section.

17.2.2.4. USB Bus Enumeration¶

When the periodic timer or the hubs notify event is signaled, the USB Bus Driver will perform bus numeration.

Determine if the event is from the roothub or a standard USB hub.
Determine the port on which the connection change event occurred.
Determine if it is a connection change or a disconnection change.
If a connect change is detected, then a new device has been attached. Perform the following:

a – Reset and enable that port.

b – Configure the new device.

c – Parse the device configuration descriptors; get all of its interface descriptors (i.e., all USB controllers), and configure each interface.

d – Create a new handle for each interface (USB Controller) within the USB device. Attach the EFI Device Path Protocol, and EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL to each handle.

e – Connect the USB Controller to a USB device driver with the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.ConnectController() if applicable.

f – If the USB Controller is a USB hub, create a Hub notify event which is associated with the USB Bus Enumerator, and submit an Asynchronous Interrupt Transfer Request (USB I/O Protocol).

If a disconnect change, then a device has been detached from the USB Bus. Perform the following:

a – If the device is not a USB Hub, then find and deconfigure the USB Controllers within the device. Then, stop each USB controller with EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.DisconnectController(), and uninstall the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL and the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL from the controller’s handle. If the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.DisconnectController() call fails this process must be retried on a subsequent timer tick.

b – If the USB controller is USB hub controller, first find and deconfigure all its downstream USB devices (this is a recursive process, since there may be additional USB hub controllers on the downstream ports), then deconfigure USB hub controller itself.

17.2.3. USB Device Driver¶

A USB Device Driver manages a USB Controller and produces a device abstraction for use by a preboot application.

17.2.3.1. USB Device Driver Entry Point¶

Like all other device drivers, the entry point for a USB Device Driver attaches EFI Driver Binding Protocol to image handle of the USB Device Driver.

17.2.3.2. Driver Binding Protocol for USB DeviceDrivers¶

The Driver Binding Protocol contains three services. These are:
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Supported(),
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start() and
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop()

The Supported() tests to see if the USB Device Driver can manage a device handle. This function checks to see if a controller can be managed by the USB Device Driver. This is done by opening the See EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL bus abstraction on the USB Controller handle, and using the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL services to determine if this USB Controller matches the profile that the USB Device Driver is capable of managing.

The Start() function tells the USB Device Driver to start managing a USB Controller. It opens the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instance from the handle for the USB Controller. This protocol instance is used to perform USB packet transmission over the USB bus. For example, if the USB controller is USB keyboard, then the USB keyboard driver would produce and install the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL to the USB controller handle.

The Stop() function tells the USB Device Driver to stop managing a USB Controller. It removes the I/O abstraction protocol instance previously installed in Start() from the USB controller handle. It then closes the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.

17.2.4. USB I/O Protocol¶

This section provides a detailed description of the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL. This protocol is used by code, typically drivers, running in the EFI boot services environment to access USB devices like USB keyboards, mice and mass storage devices. In particular, functions for managing devices on USB buses are defined here.

The interfaces provided in the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL are for performing basic operations to access USB devices. Typically, USB devices are accessed through the four different transfers types:

Controller Transfer: Typically used to configure the USB device into an operation mode.
Interrupt Transfer: Typically used to get periodic small amount of data, like USB keyboard and mouse.
Bulk Transfer: Typically used to transfer large amounts of data like reading blocks from USB mass storage devices.
Isochronous Transfer: Typically used to transfer data at a fixed rate like voice data.

This protocol also provides mechanisms to manage and configure USB devices and controllers.

Length: This field specifies the length of the data transferred during the second phase of the control transfer. If it is 0, then there is no data phase in this transfer.

Description

This function allows a USB device driver to communicate with the USB device through a Control Transfer. There are three control transfer types according to the data phase. If the Direction parameter is EfiUsbNoData, Data is NULL, and DataLength is 0, then no data phase exists for the control transfer. If the Direction parameter is EfiUsbDataOut, then Data specifies the data to be transmitted to the device, and DataLength specifies the number of bytes to transfer to the device. In this case there is an OUT DATA stage followed by a SETUP stage. If the Direction parameter is EfiUsbDataIn, then Data specifies the data that is received from the device, and DataLength specifies the number of bytes to receive from the device. In this case there is an IN DATA stage followed by a SETUP stage. After the USB transfer has completed successfully, EFI_SUCCESS is returned. If the transfer cannot be completed due to timeout, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If an error other than timeout occurs during the USB transfer, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed status code is returned in Status.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The control transfer has been successfully executed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The parameter Direction is not valid.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Request is NULL.
EFI-INVALID_PARAMETER	Status is NULL.

  );

Parameters

This: A pointer to the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in USB I/O Protocol .
DeviceEndpoint: The destination USB device endpoint to which the device request is being sent. DeviceEndpoint must be between 0x01 and 0x0F or between 0x81 and 0x8F, otherwise EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If the endpoint is not an INTERRUPT endpoint, EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. The MSB of this parameter indicates the endpoint direction. The number “1” stands for an IN endpoint, and “0” stands for an OUT endpoint.

DataLength: The length of Data received or sent via the Asynchronous Transfer, if transfer successfully completes.
Context: Data passed from EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() request.
Status: Indicates the result of the asynchronous transfer.

Description

This function allows a USB device driver to communicate with a USB device with an Interrupt Transfer. Asynchronous Interrupt transfer is different than the other four transfer types because it is a nonblocking transfer. The interrupt endpoint is queried at a fixed rate, and the data transfer direction is always in the direction from the USB device towards the system.

If IsNewTransfer is TRUE, then an interrupt transfer is started at a fixed rate. The rate is specified by PollingInterval, the size of the receive buffer is specified by DataLength, and the callback function is specified by InterruptCallback. If IsNewTransfer is TRUE, and an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.

If IsNewTransfer is FALSE, then the interrupt transfer is canceled.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The asynchronous USB transfer request has been successfully executed.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The asynchronous USB transfer request failed. When an interrupt transfer exists for the target end point and a new transfer is requested, EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.

17.2.9. EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.UsbSyncInterruptTransfer()¶

Summary

This function is used to manage a USB device with an interrupt transfer pipe. The difference between EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() and UsbSyncInterruptTransfer() is that the Synchronous interrupt transfer will only be executed one time. Once it returns, regardless of its status, the interrupt request will be deleted in the system.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_USB_IO_SYNC_INTERRUPT_TRANSFER) (
  IN   EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL     *This,
  IN   UINT8                   DeviceEndpoint,
  IN OUT VOID                  *Data,
  IN OUT UINTN                 *DataLength,
  IN   UINTN                   Timeout,
  OUT  UINT32                  *Status
  );

Parameters

This: A pointer to the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in USB I/O Protocol .
DeviceEndpoint: The destination USB device endpoint to which the device request is being sent. DeviceEndpoint must be between 0x01 and 0x0F or between 0x81 and 0x8F, otherwise EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If the endpoint is not an INTERRUPT endpoint, EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. The MSB of this parameter indicates the endpoint direction. The number “1” stands for an IN endpoint, and “0” stands for an OUT endpoint.
Data: A pointer to the buffer of data that will be transmitted to USB device or received from USB device.
DataLength: On input, then size, in bytes, of the buffer Data. On output, the amount of data actually transferred.
Timeout: The time out, in milliseconds, for this transfer. If Timeout is 0, then the caller must wait for the function to be completed until EFI_SUCCESS or EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned. If the transfer is not completed in this time frame, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.
Status: This parameter indicates the USB transfer status.

Description

This function allows a USB device driver to communicate with a USB device through a synchronous interrupt transfer. The UsbSyncInterruptTransfer() differs from EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() described in the previous section in that it is a blocking transfer request. The caller must wait for the function return, either successfully or unsuccessfully.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The sync interrupt transfer has been successfully executed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The parameter DeviceEndpoint is not valid.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Data is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	DataLength is NULL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	Status is NULL.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The request could not be completed due to a lack of resources.
EFI_TIMEOUT	The transfer cannot be completed within Timeout timeframe.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The transfer failed other than timeout, and the transfer status is returned in Status.

17.2.10. EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL.UsbIsochronousTransfer()¶

  IN   UINTN                   DataLength,
  OUT  UINT32                  *Status
  );

Parameters

This: A pointer to the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in USB I/O Protocol .
DeviceEndpoint: The destination USB device endpoint to which the device request is being sent. DeviceEndpoint must be between 0x01 and 0x0F or between 0x81 and 0x8F, otherwise EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If the endpoint is not an ISOCHRONOUS endpoint, EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. The MSB of this parameter indicates the endpoint direction. The number “1” stands for an IN endpoint, and “0” stands for an OUT endpoint.
Data: A pointer to the buffer of data that will be transmitted to USB device or received from USB device.
DataLength: The size, in bytes, of the data buffer specified by Data.
Status: This parameter indicates the USB transfer status.

Description

This function allows a USB device driver to communicate with a USB device with an Isochronous Transfer. The type of transfer is different than the other types because the USB Bus Driver will not attempt to perform error recovery if transfer fails. If the USB transfer is completed successfully, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned. The isochronous transfer is designed to be completed within 1 USB frame time, if it cannot be completed, EFI_TIMEOUT is returned. If the transfer fails due to other reasons, then EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned and the detailed error status is returned in Status. If the data length exceeds the maximum payload per USB frame time, then it is this function’s responsibility to divide the data into a set of smaller packets that fit into a USB frame time. If all the packets are transferred successfully, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The isochronous transfer has been successfully executed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	The parameter DeviceEndpoint is not valid.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The request could not be completed due to a lack of resources.
EFI_TIMEOUT	The transfer cannot be completed within the 1 USB frame time.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	The transfer failed due to the reason other than timeout, The error status is returned in Status.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	The implementation doesn’t support an Isochronous transfer function.

17.3. USB Function Protocol¶

This section describes the USB Function Protocol, enabling a USB Function device with a UEFI driver that implements the protocol to communicate with a a USB Host device.

The USB Function Protocol provides an I/O abstraction for a USB Controller operating in Function mode (also commonly referred to as Device, Peripheral, or Target mode) and the mechanisms by which the USB Function can communicate with the USB Host. It is used by other UEFI drivers or applications to perform data transactions and basic USB controller management over a USB Function port.

This simple protocol only supports USB 2.0 bulk transfers on systems with a single configuration and a single interface. It does not support isochronous or interrupt transfers, alternate interfaces, or USB 3.0 functionality. Future revisions of this protocol may support these or additional features.

Description

This protocol provides basic data transactions and USB controller management for a USB Function port. It provides a lightweight communication mechanism between a USB Host and a USB Function in the UEFI environment.

Like other UEFI device drivers, the entry point for a USB function driver attaches EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL to image handle of EFI_USBFN_IO_PROTOCOL driver.

The driver binding protocol contains three services, Supported, Start and Stop.

The Supported function must test to see if this driver supports a given controller.

The Start function must supply power to the USB controller if needed, initialize hardware and internal data structures, and then return. The port must not be activated by this function.

The Stop function must disable the USB controller and power it off if needed.
