NAME

usb_templateUSB device side templates

SYNOPSIS

device usb_template

To load the module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

DESCRIPTION

The usb_template module implements various USB templates that are needed when programming an USB device side driver. A USB template consists of an USB device descriptor, one or more USB configuration descriptors, one or more USB interface descriptors, one or more USB endpoint descriptors, USB strings and additional USB descriptors. USB templates are selected using the hw.usb.template sysctl and tunable, or by using the usbconfig(8) set_template subcommand. Changing the hw.usb.template sysctl triggers reenumeration by the USB host; changes to other sysctls may not be visible to the host until reenumeration is performed.

Available templates are:

USB Mass Storage, see cfumass(4)
CDC Ethernet, see cdce(4)
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
USB serial port, see umodem(4)
USB audio
USB keyboard
USB mouse
USB phone
CDC Ethernet and serial port
USB MIDI
CDC Ethernet, serial port, and storage
CDC Ethernet Emulation Model, see cdceem(4)

The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables:

hw.usb.template
Currently selected template. Set to -1 to make the device disappear from the USB host point of view.
hw.usb.template_power
