Need to Know About USB? Several PA-RISC workstations to be introduced during 1999 require a USB cable longer than 2.5m, or • if you simply lament the passing of HP-HIL. This presentation does not apply to Intel-based VISUALIZE workstations, as they have had USB ports for some time (as have most - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 3
for USB. • How USB compares to legacy and contemporary alternatives. • How USB will roll out on PA-RISC platforms. • How USB is supported in PA-RISC hardware, firmware and HP-UX. • The initial USB devices. • Considerations for buyers and users at the transition. • Considerations for developers. - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 4
years, widespread acceptance has been delayed by lack of B devices, which, in turn, have been awaiting: • O.S. support: Still waiting for "NT". Win95 support is problematic. • BIOS support: Most "USB" PCs have no USB console capability in BIOS. • Economics: Some PS/2 devices are still cheaper - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 5
use them. 3. It was getting increasingly expensive for suppliers to maintain proprietary desktop connectivity solutions such as ADB (Apple Desktop Bus), Access.Bus, AT&T CHI (Concentration Highway Interface), Apple GeoPort and HP-HIL. 4. The IRQ shortage in the Intel architecture isn't going to be - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 6

A Closer Look • Devices may be compound (have multiple functions) or contain hubs. • Devices are high-speed (12 Mbps) or low- speed (1.5 Mbps) only. Hubs are high only. • Differential Data Signalling (3.3V NRZI) • +Vcc is 500mA @ 5 Vdc • Devices may supply own power. • Vcc and Ground make - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 8

The Uses of USB Ideal Uses • Most human input devices: bar code, buttons, digitizers, gaming, gloves, joysticks, keyboards, knobs, light-pens, mice, 6-axis, tablets, trackballs, touch-pads • Modem & telephony: POTS, FAX, ISDN, T1, ADSL, low-end cable modem • Printers, up through 40 ppm or so • - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 11

Port Evolution on all-new PA-RISC SPUs USB Serial Parallel PS/2 1998 1999 2000 • PS/2 is not present on SPUs with built-in USB, and is not expected to re-appear on any future all-new processor design prior to IA-64. • Parallel may be replaced by a USB-parallel adaptor in the next generation. • - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 16
USB Support: PA-RISC Hardware • Root hub is based on a National PC87560 Super I/O chip. • This No USB hub is required for the keyboard and mouse in the USB User Interface Kit. Future monitors may include or support a built-in hub. • Full 500 mA Vcc+ per port is available. • One or more USB PCI cards - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 17
as "HID boot", but is not a full keyboard, needs to be located beyond the console keyboard in the topology. • Hot detach-reattach is not supported. The SPU must be rebooted if the keyboard is disconnected during boot. • If no keyboard is found, firmware seeks console on the first serial port. - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 18

Euro support is a retrofit to the current PS/2 keyboards (in work now as User Interface Kit A4030G). • Hot attach/detach does not ship in the first release. • HP-UX will implement X-USB APIs as standards emerge. • See next page for feature support on the USB keyboard and - HP Visualize b180L | PA-RISC Visualize Workstation Universal Serial Bus - Page 23

required input devices. If you add any USB devices, you will need a hub. None are officially supported yet, but so far, every hub we've tested has worked. • Some random USB devices simply work.

USB Developer Considerations • The HP-UX DDK has not yet been updated for USB. If you know impossible. • Caution: the current National Super I/O chip used for the built-in USB does not support isochronous USB protocol. If your device can't be operated correctly using USB bulk or USB interrupt I/O,
