2 USB 2.0 Hub Details John Garney Hub Working Group Chair Intel Corporation John Garney Hub Working Group Chair Intel Corporation

May 17, Hub Details w Standard Hub Class – Port Indicators w Transaction Translator w Bulk/Control Transaction Handling w Isochronous/Interrupt Transaction Handling w Scheduling Split Transactions w Additions to Chapter 11 w New Appendices

May 17, Hub Requirements: w Isolate full/low-speed from high-speed – Avoid lower speed impact on HS, i.e., LS impact on FS w All USB2.0 Hub ports support HS/FS/LS

May 17, Standard Hub Class w Hub Descriptor – Added to wHubCharacteristics :  D6..D5: TT Think Time  D7: Port indicator support w Hub Class Requests – New Port Features: PORT_TEST, PORT_INDICATOR – Get_Status: PORT_HIGH_SPEED – New: ClearTTBuffer, ResetTT, GetTTState, StopTT

May 17, Hub Port Indicators w Optional standardized end user visible indicator w 2 color indicator for each downstream facing port – Defined colors: Off, Green, Amber, Blinking w Manual (Host SW) & Automatic Control – Manual: keeps HW simple while allowing SW control  Blinking done by software – Automatic: basic consistency in USB 1.x/2.0 systems  Overcurrent, enabled and “neither” – Full indicator support requires USB 2.0 software

May 17, Transaction Translator Overview w Bulk/Control & Interrupt/Isochronous portions to TT – Bulk/Control uses USB flow control to make progress – Interrupt/Isochronous uses a scheduled full/low speed transaction “pipeline” – Separate buffers are used for each TT portion  2 or more transaction buffers for bulk/control  Start & complete “pipeline” buffers for interrupt/isochronous Transaction Translator Bulk & Control Bulk & Control Interrupt & Isochronous Interrupt & Isochronous

May 17, Scheduling TT Pipeline w Best case budget & worst case operation w Scheduling split transactions for pipeline w Keeping the pipeline running

May 17, Best Full-Speed Budget w Max bytes per classic frame (12Mb/s) w Max bytes of periodic wire time (90% of frame) w Max allocatable bytes w/ max 6/7 (16.67%) bit stuff – Reduced further by other overhead w Max “wire” bytes per 125us microframe – Budget best case of 188 bytes w Best Case Budget assumes wire runs “as fast as possible” Y0Y0Y0Y0 Y1Y1Y1Y1 Y2Y2Y2Y2 Y3Y3Y3Y3 Y4Y4Y4Y4 Y5Y5Y5Y5 Y6Y6Y6Y6 Y7Y7Y7Y Microframes Best case wire budget,1157 bytes w/ no bitstuffing Max wire time

May 17, Worst Case Operation w Worst case when bus runs “as slow as possible” w 188 “data” bytes can take 220 bytes of time to move w Classic transaction runs in three possible microframes – Due to difference between best & worst case Y0Y0Y0Y0 Y1Y1Y1Y1 Y2Y2Y2Y2 Y3Y3Y3Y3 Y4Y4Y4Y4 Y5Y5Y5Y5 Y6Y6Y6Y6 Y7Y7Y7Y7 Best case wire budget, 1157 bytes w/ no bitstuffing Microframes Worst case, 1350 bytes w/ max bitstuffing Worst case with bulk reclaim bytes w Reclamation (LS control) makes it no worse

May 17, Transaction Scheduling w Classic transaction determines HS split-transactions w Allocate time on classic wire for a new transaction: – Calculate best case classic wire budget w Determine schedule for high speed start-split(s) – Based on Best case budget w Determine schedule for high speed complete-split(s) – Based on Best case budget and rules that deal with worst – Don’t compute worst case, use “3” microframes

May 17, Generic Scheduling of Split Transactions w Allocate time for a new transaction (Y-1) 7 Y0Y0Y0Y0 Y1Y1Y1Y1 Y2Y2Y2Y2 Y3Y3Y3Y3 Y4Y4Y4Y4 Y5Y5Y5Y5 Y6Y6Y6Y6 Y7Y7Y7Y7 Best case budget #1: A classic transaction budgeted to run here on the classic bus,... #2: …has a HS start-split scheduled in this microframe and... #2: …has a HS start-split scheduled in this microframe and... HSStart-splitHSStart-split w Start-splits scheduled in microframe “before” Best case classic w Additional scheduling rules for specific cases (see chap 11) w Complete-splits in (roughly) “next 3” microframes #3: …has HS complete-split transactions scheduled in the latest possible microframes for this transaction HS Complete-splits

May 17, Long Isochronous OUT w Isochronous OUT with >188 data payload has: – More start-splits  A start-split for each microframe with budgeted data present  Different PID based on which portion of classic data (begin,mid,end)  Each start-split is scheduled 188 data bytes (except last) – No complete-split(s) (Y-1) 7 Y0Y0Y0Y0 Y1Y1Y1Y1 Y2Y2Y2Y2 Y3Y3Y3Y3 Y4Y4Y4Y4 Y5Y5Y5Y5 Y6Y6Y6Y6 Y7Y7Y7Y7 BeginEndMidMid Best case budget Microframes with HS Start-Splits Long isoch. transaction Start-SplitTokens:

May 17, Keeping the Pipe Running w TT periodic pipeline must continue to sequence – Normally it does, but… – Errors can occur on high/full/low-speed buses w TT must not service full/low-speed transactions: – Too early – Too late w Microframe “clock” tracking is required

May 17, Periodic Pipeline Example w Example full speed transactions: – T1: 187 data byte isoch IN – T2: 376 data byte isoch OUT – T3: 188 data byte isoch IN – T4: 564 data byte isoch IN w Schedule start-splits SSx - Start-splits Tx - Classic transaction CSx - Complete-splits Best Budget: T3T1T2T4 SS3 SS1 SS4SS2aSS2c SS2b
