What is USB?

1. In order for Garmin Mode USB devices to communicate with a Windows computer, Garmin USB drivers need to be installed. These drivers are not needed for newer Garmin devices that use a USB mass storage or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) interface.
2. Feb 17, 2019 Intel Core i3-6100U. Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller 1.0 (Miscrosoft). Both of my USB ports stopped working after a Windows update on 2/16/19. I have tried all methods above. I have run Lenovo and Intel diagnostics. I have purchased a new mouse. Nothing - phone, etc. works in USB port (either one). I have the most recent drivers.
3. You can observe that Driver Booster is scanning from 0% to 100% until it detects all the device drivers on Windows 10. Find out Sound, video and game controllers and then Update the USB headset drivers. Here Driver Booster will update Mpow USB headset driver, Plantronics drivers, Sades headset driver, etc.

Sometimes your USB device, which is plug-and-play nature really need a set of codes, in this case known as a driver, to interact with your device. If the computer prompts you to install a driver, let it try. If it doesn’t, go to Control Panel Printers and devices to see if there is any Unidentified USB device or Unknown device listed there.

USB connects several devices to a host controller through a chain of hubs. In USB terminology, devices are referred to as functions, because each individual physical device may actually host several functions, such as a webcamwith a built-in microphone. The hubs are special-purpose devices thatare not officially considered functions. There always exists one hubknown as the root hub, which is attached directly to the hostcontroller.

These devices/functions (and hubs) have associated pipes (logical channels). The pipes are synonymous to byte streams such as in the pipelines of Unix. Pipes are connections from the host controller to a logical entity on the device named an endpoint. The term endpoint is also occasionally used to refer to the entire pipe.

These endpoints (and their respective pipes) are numbered 0-15 ineach direction, so a device/function can have up to 32 active pipes, 16into the host controller and 16 out of the controller.

Each endpoint can transfer data in one direction only, either intoor out of the device/function, so each pipe is uni-directional.Endpoint 0 is however reserved for the bus management in bothdirections and thus takes up two of the 32 endpoints — all USB devicesare required to implement endpoint 0, so there is always an inward andan outward pipe numbered 0 on any given device.

In these pipes, data is transferred in packets of varying length. Each pipe has a maximum packet length, typically 2ⁿ bytes, so a USB packet will often contain something on the order of 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 up to 512 bytes.

The pipes are also divided into four different categories by way of their transfer type:

• control transfers - typically used for short, simple commands to the device, and a status response, used e.g. by the bus control pipe number 0
• isochronous transfers - at some guaranteed speed (often butnot necessarily as fast as possible) but with possible data loss, e.g.realtime audio or video
• interrupt transfers - devices that need guaranteed quick responses (bounded latency), e.g. pointing devices and keyboards
• bulk transfers - large sporadic transfers using allremaining available bandwidth (but with no guarantees on throughput orlatency), e.g. file transfers

When a device (function) or hub is attached to the host controllerthrough any hub on the bus, it is given a unique 7 bit address on thebus by the host controller.

The host controller then polls the bus for traffic, usually in a round-robin fashion, so no device can transfer any data on the bus without explicit request from the host controller. The interrupt transferson corresponding endpoints do not actually interrupt any traffic on thebus: they are just scheduled to be queried more often and in betweenany other large transfers, thus 'interrupt traffic' on a USB bus isreally only high-priority traffic.

To access an endpoint, a hierarchical configuration must be obtained. The device connected to the bus has one (and only one) device descriptor which in turn has one or more configuration descriptors. These configurations often correspond to states, e.g. active vs. low power mode. Each configuration descriptor in turn has one or more interface descriptors,which describe certain aspects of the device, so that it may be usedfor different purposes: for example, a camera may have both audio andvideo interfaces. These interface descriptors in turn have one default interface setting and possibly more alternate interface settings which in turn have endpoint descriptors, as outlined above. An endpoint may however be reused among several interfaces and alternate interface settings.

Host controllers

The hardware that contains the host controller and the root hub has an interface geared toward the programmer which is called Host Controller Device (HCD) and is defined by the hardware implementer. In practice, these are hardware registers (ports) in the computer.

At version 1.0 and 1.1 there were two competing HCD implementations. Compaq's Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) was adopted as the standard by the USB-IF. However, Intel subsequently created a specification they called the Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) and insisted other implementers pay to license and implement UHCI. VIA Technologieslicensed the UHCI standard from Intel; all other chipset implementersuse OHCI. The main difference between OHCI and UHCI is the fact thatUHCI is more software-driven than OHCI is, making UHCI slightly moreprocessor-intensive but cheaper to implement. The duelingimplementations forced operating system vendors and hardware vendors todevelop and test on both implementations which increased cost. Duringthe design phase of USB 2.0 the USB-IF insisted on only oneimplementation. The USB 2.0 HCD implementation is called the Extended Host Controller Interface(EHCI). Only EHCI can support hi-speed transfers. Each EHCI controllercontains four virtual HCD implementations to support Full Speed and LowSpeed devices. The virtual HCD on Intel and VIA EHCI controllers areUHCI. All other vendors use virtual OHCI controllers.

Class Codes

The device descriptor of a USB device has a signature that tellswhat kind of device has been attached to the bus. This signatureconsists of class code, subclass code and protocol fields. Together,these identify what operating systemdriver should be used to communicate with the device. Additionally,each USB device interface descriptor contains the same signaturefields. The interface signature allows multiple operating systemdrivers to simultaneously communicate with a single USB device (forexample USB device with audio and video interfaces) and they also allowmultiple instances of the same driver to communicate with separateinterfaces of the same USB device (for example USB ethernet adapterwith multiple ethernet ports)

Devices that attach to the bus can be full-custom devices requiring a full-custom device driver to be used, or may belong to a device class.These classes define an expected behavior in terms of device andinterface descriptors so that the same device driver may be used forany device that claims to be a member of a certain class. An operating system is supposed to implement all device classes so as to provide generic drivers for any USB device.

Device classes codes are decided upon by the Device Working Group ofthe USB Implementers Forum. If the class applies is to the entiredevice, the class code is assigned to the bDeviceClass field of the device descriptor, and if it is to be set for a single interface on a device, it is assigned to the bInterfaceClassfield of the interface descriptor. It is also possible that multipleinterfaces of the device are grouped by using Interface AssociationDescriptor, in which case the class code is assigned to bFunctionClass fields of the descriptor. Class code is a single byte, so a maximum of 254 different device classes are possible (values 0x00 and 0xFF are reserved). If bDeviceClass is set to 0x00, the operating system will look at bFunctionClass of Interface Association Descriptors and bInterfaceClass of each interface to determine the device class. Each class also optionally supports a SubClass and Protocol subdefinition. These can be used as the main device classes are continuously revised.

The most used class codes (grouped by assigned class ID) are:^[1]

0x00 - Unspecified Class (Device Descriptor)

The USB device has no assigned class code. The class codes of thedevice interface descriptors should be used to identify which driversare supported by the device.

USB signaling

Mnemonic: Victor Dashes Across Ground-Zero (Vbus , - , + , GND , Shield/Blank)

USB signals are transmitted on a twisted pair of data cables, labelled D+ and D−. These collectively use half-duplexdifferential signaling to combat the effects of electromagnetic noise on longer lines. D+ and D− usually operate together; they are not separate simplex connections. Transmitted signal levels are 0.0–0.3 volts for low and 2.8–3.6 volts for high.

Transfer modes

USB supports four tranfer modes:

• Control
• Interrupt
• Bulk
• Isochronous

Transfer speed

USB supports three data rates:

• A Low Speed rate of up to 1.5 Mbit/s (187.5 kB/s) that is mostly used for Human Interface Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks.
• A Full Speed rate of up to 12 Mbit/s (1.5 MB/s).Full Speed was the fastest rate before the USB 2.0 specification andmany devices fall back to Full Speed. Full Speed devices divide the USBbandwidth between them in a first-come first-served basis and it is notuncommon to run out of bandwidth with several isochronous devices. AllUSB Hubs support Full Speed.
• A Hi-Speed rate of up to 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s).

Hubs, even Hi-Speed hubs, serving a number of non-hi-speed devices,are likely to divide up a total bandwidth of 12 Mbit/s for suchdevices, which will slow them down unless the hub has transactiontranslator for each port. ^[3]

Though Hi-Speed devices are commonly referred to as 'USB 2.0' andadvertised as 'up to 480 Mbit/s', not all USB 2.0 devices are Hi-Speed.Hi-speed devices typically only operate at half of the full theoretical(60 MB/s) data throughput rate. The maximum rate currently (2006)attained with real devices is about half, 30 MB/s.^[4] Most hi-speed USB devices typically operate at much slower speeds, often about 3 MB/s overall, sometimes up to 10-20 MB/s. The USB-IFcertifies devices and provides licenses to use special marketing logosfor either 'Basic-Speed' (low and full) or Hi-Speed after passing acompliancy test and paying a licensing fee. All devices are testedaccording to the latest spec, so recently-compliant Low Speed devicesare also 2.0.

Hi-Speed devices are intended to fall back to the slower data rateof Full Speed when plugged into a Full Speed hub. Hi-Speed hubs have aspecial function called the Transaction Translator thatsegregates Full Speed and Low Speed bus traffic from Hi-Speed traffic.The Transaction Translator in a Hi-Speed hub (or possibly each portdepending on the electrical design) will function as a completelyseparate Full Speed bus to Full Speed and Low Speed devices attached toit. This segregation is for bandwidth only; bus rules about power andhub depth still apply.

A hub will have one or more Transaction Translators and there is nostandard way to determine the number of transaction translators a hubmay have. All low and full speed devices connected to one transactiontranslator will share the low/full speed bandwidth. This means thathubs can have dramatically different performance depending upon thenumber of transaction translators and the devices plugged into theirports. e.g. a hi-speed 7 port hub with only 1 transaction translatorwith 7 low/full speed devices plugged in, will act no differently thana USB 1.1 hub and all devices compete for the same low/full speedbandwidth. If the hub were to have a transaction translator for each ofthe seven ports, then each device would have all the full/low speedbandwidth available to it and would only compete for the hi-speedbandwidth, which is much greater.^[5]

Data encoding

The USB standard uses the NRZI system to encode data, and uses bit stuffing for logic 1 transmission six bits long (put logic 0 after six bits of logic 1; the receiver ignores a 0 following sixlogic 1). Moreover, receiving a block of seven consecutive bits oflogic 1 will be signaled as a bit stuffing error at the receiver. TheNRZI (non-return to zero, inverted) encoding method does not change thesignal for transmission of a logic 1, but it inverts the signal level for transmission of each logic 0.

Mini-USB signaling

Most of the pins of a Mini-USB connector are the same as those in astandard USB connector, except pin 4. Pin 4 is called 'ID' and, in theMini-A plug, is connected to ground, but in the Mini-B plug it is notconnected. This causes a device supporting USB On-The-Go(with a Mini-AB socket) to initially act as host when connected to aUSB Mini-A plug (the 'A' end of a Mini-A– Mini-B cable). The Mini-Aconnector also has an additional piece of plastic inside to preventinsertion into a slave-only (B-only) device.

SB connectors

Connector types

There are several types of USB connectors, and some have been addedas the specification has progressed. From the original USBspecification:

• Standard-A plug
• Standard-A receptacle
• Standard-B plug
• Standard-B receptacle

Added in the first engineering change noticed to the USB 2.0 specification:

• Mini-B plug
• Mini-B receptacle

Added in the Universal Serial Bus Micro-USB Cables and Connectors Specification:

• Micro-A plug (white)
• Micro-AB receptacle (gray)
• Micro-B plug (black)
• Micro-B receptacle (black)

Adapters, also from the Universal Serial Bus Micro-USB Cables and Connectors Specification (Note that no other adapters are allowed.):

• Standard-A receptacle to Micro-A plug

Added in January 2007

• 'Micro-series USB technology will replace Mini-series USB in OTG products' [1]'Beaverton, OR, 2007-01-04 -- The USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF)today announced the completion of the Micro-USB specification, a newconnector technology that will replace many of the Mini-series plugsand receptacles currently used in portable products.' The Micro-USBplug is rated for 10,000 connect-disconnect cycles. It is about halfthe height of the mini-USB connector in widespread use today butfeatures a similar width.

Cables and connectors

Cables have only plugs, and hosts and devices have only receptacles.Hosts have type-A receptacles; devices, if they have receptacles, havetype-B. Type-A plugs only mate with type-A receptacles, and type-B withtype-B.

The On-the-Go supplement allows a product to be either host ordevice, with a Micro-AB receptacle that accepts either a Micro-A plugor a Micro-B plug. Micro-A, Micro-B, and Micro-AB connectors areidentified easily by color. The plastic inside Micro-A plugs andreceptacles is always white, that in Micro-B connectors black, and thatin Micro-AB receptacles grey.

There is a limited set of cables allowed by the USB specification.Cables fall into two categories — 'detachable' and 'captive'. Allallowed USB cables have one type-A plug, either Standard-A or Micro-A.The other end of a 'captive' cable is either not removable or it has acustom connector on the device end. If the cable is 'detachable', theother end of the cable must have a type-B plug. There also exists aspecial adapter cable that has micro-A plug and standard-A receptable.

Captive USB cable types:

• Standard-A plug to device.
  This cable may have a custom connector on the device end.
• Micro-A plug to device.
  This cable is not intended to be removed by the end user of the device.

Detachable USB cable types:

• Standard-A plug to Standard-B plug.
  This is the most popular cable for connecting USB devices to host.
• Standard-A plug to Mini-B plug.
  Used to connect older mobile devices to host.
• Standard-A plug to Micro-B plug.
  Used to connect newer mobile devices to host.
• Micro-A plug to Micro-B plug.
  Used to connect mobile devices to each other.
• Micro-A plug to Standard-A receptable.
  This is a special adapter cable that is allowed to be at most 150 mmlong. It is needed in order to allow mobile devices to act as USB hostsfor devices which are not using Micro-USB connectors.

Any cable with a receptacle (except the special case above) or with two 'A' or two 'B' connectors is, by definition, not USB.^[6]However, many cable manufacturers make and sell USB-compatible (yet notstrictly conforming) extension cables with a Standard-A plug on one endand Standard-A receptacle on the other end. Note that thesenon-conforming extension cables should not be mixed with conformingcables that contain a small bus-powered hub. Cables with two type A oreven two type B plugs are available from more specialist suppliers.

Note that only 'full-speed' and 'hi-speed' devices use detachablecables. Compliant 'Low-speed' devices only use captive cables, becausethe low-speed specification does not allow for the electricalcharacteristics of standard detachable USB cables.

The Mini-B, Micro-A, Micro-B, and Micro-AB connectors are used forsmaller devices such as PDAs, mobile phones or digital cameras. TheStandard-A plug is approximately 4 by 12 mm, the Standard-Bapproximately 7 by 8 mm, and the Micro-A and Micro-B plugsapproximately 2 by 7 mm.

The connectors which the USB committee specified were designed tosupport a number of USB's underlying goals, and to reflect lessonslearned from the varied menagerie of connectors then in service. Inparticular:

• The connectors are designed to be robust. Many previous connectordesigns were fragile, with pins or other delicate components prone tobending or breaking, even with the application of only very modestforce. The electrical contacts in a USB connector are protected by anadjacent plastic tongue, and the entire connecting assembly is furtherprotected by an enclosing metal sheath. As a result USB connectors cansafely be handled, inserted, and removed, even by a small child. Theencasing sheath and the tough moulded plug body mean that a connectorcan be dropped, stepped upon, even crushed or struck, all withoutdamage; a considerable degree of force is needed to significantlydamage a USB connector.
• It is difficult to incorrectly attach a USB connector. Connectorscannot be plugged-in upside down, and it is clear from the appearanceand kinesthetic sensation of making a connection when the plug andsocket are correctly mated. However, it is not obvious at a glance tothe inexperienced user (or to a user without sight of the installation)which way round a connector goes, so it is often necessary to try bothways.
• The connectors are particularly cheap to manufacture.
• The connectors enforce the directed topology of a USB network. USBdoes not support cyclical networks, so the connectors from incompatibleUSB devices are themselves incompatible. Unlike other communicationssystems (e.g. RJ-45 cabling) gender-changers are almost never used,making it difficult to create a cyclic USB network.
• A moderate insertion/removal force is specified. USB cables andsmall USB devices are held in place by the gripping force from thereceptacle (without the need for the screws, clips, or thumbturns otherconnectors require). The force needed to make or break a connection ismodest, allowing connections to be made in awkward circumstances or bythose with motor disabilities.
• The connector construction always ensures that the external sheathon the plug contacts with its counterpart in the receptacle before thefour connectors within are connected. This sheath is typicallyconnected to the system ground, allowing otherwise damaging staticcharges to be safely discharged by this route (rather than via delicateelectronic components). This means of enclosure also means that thereis a (moderate) degree of protection from electromagnetic interferenceafforded to the USB signal while it travels through the mated connectorpair (this is the only location when the otherwise twisted data pairmust travel a distance in parallel). In addition, the power and commonconnections are made after the system ground but before the dataconnections. This type of staged make-break timing allows for safehot-swapping and has long been common practice in the design ofconnectors in the aerospace industry.
• The USB standard specifies relatively low tolerances for compliantUSB connectors, intending to minimize incompatibilities in connectorsproduced by different vendors (a goal that has been very successfullyachieved). Unlike most other connector standards, the USB spec alsodefines limits to the size of a connecting device in the area aroundits plug. This was done to avoid circumstances where a device compliedwith the connector specification but its large size blocked adjacentports. Compliant devices must either fit within the size restrictionsor support a compliant extension cable which does.

However, the physical layer is changed in some examples. For example, the IBM UltraPort is a proprietary USB connector located on the top of IBM's laptopLCDs.It uses a different mechanical connector while preserving the USBsignaling and protocol. Other manufacturers of small items alsodeveloped their own small form factor connector, and a wide variety ofthese have appeared. For specification purposes, these devices weretreated as having a captive cable.

An extension to USB called USB On-The-Goallows a single port to act as either a host or a device - chosen bywhich end of the cable plugs into the socket on the unit. Even afterthe cable is hooked up and the units are talking, the two units may'swap' ends under program control. This facility targets units such as PDAswhere the USB link might connect to a PC's host port as a device in oneinstance, yet connect as a host itself to a keyboard and mouse devicein another instance. USB On-The-Go has therefore defined two small formfactor connectors, the Mini-A and Mini-B, and a universal socket(Mini-AB), which should stop the proliferation of proprietary designs.

Wireless USBis a standard being developed to extend the USB standard whilemaintaining backwards compatibility with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 on theprotocol level.

The maximum length of a USB cable is 5 meters; greater lengths require hubs [2]. USB Connections can be extended to 50 m over CAT5 or up to 10 km over fiber by using special USB Extender products developed by various manufacturers.

Power supply

Standard

The USB specification provides a 5 V (volts)supply on a single wire from which connected USB devices may drawpower. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no lessthan 4.35 V between the +ve and -ve bus power lines.

Initially, a device is only allowed to draw 100 mA. It may requestmore current from the upstream device in units of 100 mA up to amaximum of 500 mA. In practice, most ports will deliver the full 500 mAor more before shutting down power, even if the device hasn't requestedit or even identified itself. If a (compliant) device requires morepower than is available, then it cannot operate until the user changesthe network (either by rearranging USB connections or by addingexternal power) to supply the power required.

If a USB device sees that the data lines of the USB bus have beenidle for 3 milliseconds, the device must go into suspend state.Suspended devices are allowed to draw 500 μA. If the device wasconfigured to use more than 100 mA of current, before the device wassuspended, and the device was configured as a remote wakeup source, thedevice is allowed to draw 2.5 mA while suspended. The current limitsduring suspend are one second averages.

Note that On-The-Go and Battery Charging Specification both add new powering modes to the USB specification.

If a bus-powered hub is used, the devices downstream may only use atotal of four units — 400 mA — of current. This limits compliantbus-powered hubs to 4 ports, among other things. Equipment requiringmore than 500 mA, hubs with more than 4 ports and hubs with downstreamdevices using more than four 100 mA units total must provide their ownpower. The host operating system typically keeps track of the powerrequirements of the USB network and may warn the computer's operatorwhen a given segment requires more power than is available.

Kinds Of Usb Devices

There may come a time when your Windows 10-powered machine will just not recognise a USB device. This issue has existed on Windows since the days of Windows 98, and sadly, Windows 10 also seems to have inherited the quirk. Thankfully it isn’t difficult to make your device detect your USB device. Follow the below-mentioned methods to see if your computer gains senses and stars detecting your device.

Restart

As Moss and Roy famously put it in The IT Crowd TV show, a simple restart can do wonders for you. So plug out the device, reboot the computer and plug it back in to see if anything changes.

Driver Issue

Sometimes your USB device, which is plug-and-play nature really need a set of codes, in this case known as a driver, to interact with your device. If the computer prompts you to install a driver, let it try. If it doesn’t, go to Control Panel > Printers and devices to see if there is any Unidentified USB device or Unknown device listed there. In case there is, go to its Properties and update its driver. You might again need to reboot the machine, Alternatively, you might want to visit USB device’s manufacturer website to get a driver for it.

Plug-out all other USB devices

If your newly inserted device isn’t getting read by the computer, try disconnecting other USB devices to see if anything helps. Sometimes having multiple devices on the machine may create a conflict.

Fix USB Root Hub

Usb Device Drivers Windows 10

If the aforementioned methods still don’t make your device recognisable, you could try opening Device Manager, expanding USB Serial Bus controllers. Once there, right click on USB Root Hub and click Properties. Click on the Power Management tab and uncheck the option that says “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”. If there are more than one USB Root Hub listed, you will need to perform the same with every entry. Click OK and restart your computer. Plug back the USB device in and see if the computer is able to recognise it.

Unknown Usb Device Driver Download

Try a different computer / operating system

If your USB device is still not showing up on the system, you might want to try it on any other device, and also check if it works on any other operating system. In case it does, transfer all your important files onto a different device. In case it doesn’t, we’re afraid your USB device has probably gone rogue.
