Well so far I already had known that HS and SS are separated and just share the connectors (different hub topology, etc...). I didn't know that the XHCI controller also support HS all by itself. With HS the controller don't support FS/LS at all and required a companion controller to do that, with separate bus number and enumeration - these days however is is more common to have an integrated HS hub to translate to FS/LS. I thought the XHCI uses an EHCI companion and since the HS and SS busses are distributed individually I thought the EHCI controls all HS devices in the tree, unlike HS, where not directly connected FS devices are controlled by the HS controller via TT in hub. So in fact the XHCI is a HS and SS controller using a single enumeration for both. And it seems it even is a FS and LS controller, since a direct connected FS device was directly enumerated to the root hub. For me this was unexpected. Thank you for clearification. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
