Plug-and-play makes this relatively straightforward, devices contain identification codes. Linux drivers use PCI and USB ID's to tell what drivers it should use for what hardware. Drivers keep a list of ID's they're compatible with.

Sometimes the only update a driver needs, to use a new piece of compatible hardware, is another ID added to its list.

NAME
usba, usb - Solaris USB Architecture (USBA) USB provides a low-cost means for attaching peripheral devices, including mass-storage devices, keyboards, mice, and printers, to a system. For complete information on USB, go to the USB website at http://www.usb.org. USBA supports 126 hot-pluggable USB devices per USB bus. The maximum data transfer rate is 1.5 Mbits (low speed USB 1.x) or 12 Mbits (full speed USB 1.x) or 480 MBits (high speed USB 2.0) Mbits per second (Mbps). USBA adheres to the Universal Serial Bus 2.0 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to USB client drivers. FILES
Listed below are drivers and modules which either utilize or are utilized by USBA. Drivers in /kernel/drv are 32 bit drivers ( only). Driv- ers in /kernel/drv/sparcv9 or /kernel/drv/amd64 are 64 bit drivers. +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | CLIENT DRIVER | FUNCTION/DEVICE | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]hid | HID class | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]hubd | hub class | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/ker- | mass storage class | |nel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]scsa2usb | | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]usbprn | printer class | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]usb_as | audio streaming class | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]usb_ac | audio control class | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]usb_mid | multi-interface device | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]usb- | Edgeport USB to serial port | |ser_edge | | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]ugen | generic USB driver | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]ohci | open host controller driver | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]uhci | universal host controller driver | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9|amd64/]ehci | enhanced host controller driver | +------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | CLIENT STREAMS MODULES | FUNCTION/DEVICE | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------+ |/kernel/strmod/[sparcv9/]usbkbm | Keyboard | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------+ |/kernel/strmod/[sparcv9/]usbms | Mouse | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------+ |/kernel/strmod/[sparcv9/]usb_ah | audio HID | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------+----------------+ | HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE DRIVERS | DEVICE | +------------------------------------------+----------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9/]ehci | Enhanced HCI | +------------------------------------------+----------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9/]ohci | Open HCI | +------------------------------------------+----------------+ |/kernel/drv/[sparcv9/]uhci | Universal HCI | +------------------------------------------+----------------+ See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Architecture |PCI-based systems | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWusb | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ cfgadm_usb(1M), attributes(5), ehci(7D), hid(7D), hubd(7D), ohci(7D), scsa2usb(7D), uhci(7D), usb_ac(7D), usb_as(7D), usb_mid(7D), usbprn(7D), usbser_edge(7D), ugen(7D), virtualkm(7D) Universal Serial Bus Specification 2.0.
