usb - UHCI, OHCI and EHCI implementations

[Ryan O'Connor]

Hi,

This is Polonium from the irc channel (although I’m not in there all the
time)

Just trying to gather what’s happening with USB support, more specifically
the host controller interfaces that are required to lie below the usb device
drivers.

Is there anyone currently working on this?

If not, are there any programmers who would like to solely focus on
implementing, for example, a universal host controller interface for
ReactOS.

While I do not know much about the topic myself, with ample resources and
team members I may be able to make a good start. Anyone else interested? The
specifications for the interfaces can be found on the Intel website.

Regards

Ryan O’Connor

According to this, Mark Tempel is working on the usb stack right now,
though I am not sure about the progress.

It says on that site that the directory listing has a folder called usb in
reactos/drivers/ but it doesn't exist in the latest svn. Anyone know if this
project been started yet?

Mark?.. Can I help? Right now I'm assuming you don't have SVN commit access,
maybe you could apply for it. Sorry I wanted to email you directly but can't
find your email address.

Regards
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
first of all glad to hear someone would like to help with USB!

As of current progress, I wanted to make simple stub for usb drivers from
the usb stack of WinXP and files tree (though Mark suggested to do it a bit
differently). However I haven't completed the process, for now I just
created stubs, but without handling IRP at all (so nothing interesting yet,
except for Filip's research regarding usbport.sys interface with miniports).

Mark Tempel is working on host controller driver now, though I don't know
his progress yet. Also Magnus (GreatLord) is entering USB development.

If you like to start - you may find those docs in usb folder at Filip's site
useful - http://volny.cz/xnavara/

Also have a look at ros-wiki USB Stack page, edit if you have suggestions.

WBR,
Aleksey.

I have in my local tree, stubs for usbport, usbuhci, usbehci, usbohci, 
and usbhub
I was going to wait till I got a bit more of the needed headers put 
together before
commiting it all to SVN.

If you want to start, I would suggest reading MSDN, specifically the 
section regarding
the USB stack in WindowsXP.  There isn't alot of information there, but 
if you read
through the USB structure definitions, you can get an idea of how usbhub 
connects
to usbport.

I was planning to do the usbport->usbuhci part first.  I don't think 
that it would be easy
to split that work among developers yet.  This is because the interface 
between usbport
and its miniport drivers is completely undocumented.  I'll be creating 
this as I go along.

Once usbport->usbuchi works, then someone else can take on making 
usbohci or usbehci
if they wish.  However, I'm willing to be that we will need to rework 
the interface between
usbport and its miniports when we implement the second miniport.

I'm glad that other people want to help with USB (it is a rather large 
undertaking).  We do
have several pieces that we need (other than the controller stack).  We 
need:
-USBD.SYS
-HIDPARSE.SYS
-(the rest of the HID pieces in the OS)
I'm sure that there is more than that...

It would be great if someone started working on those peices while I'm 
getting the host
controller to work.
