Generic USB2.0 (EHCI) Driver

BuXb · March 12, 2007

Hi everybody! Now i have working the USB ports thanks to the installer made for BugsBunny!!!

Glad to hear that. BTW: ".. BY.." not "FOR" .. :wacko:

Now i have a few questions i hope can anybody help me.

would be glad to offer you some advice on that one, but - sorry, no idea ..

Upppss! Sorry, You right! My english really sucks!

...Thanks!

@orByte

Can you please fix this clock - usb2 - bug thing? Is it really dependant on the number of used cpu cores?

As I mentioned in another post, if I follow an exact power off-reset-procedure very often I got full usb2 with your driver.

But it would be nice if there was a working usb2 driver. Thanks.

If I use this Generic ECHI kext, will I be able to enable USB keyboard/mouse in my BIOS ?

USB seems to be working just fine in OSX for me (when I disable USB Keyboard/mouse in my bios), but OSX acts funny when I enable it in my bios. I need USB keyboard support so I can use my usb keyboard on the dual boot OS chooser screen.

would this help me with 10.4.9 JAs with having soundproblems from usb to my Bose companion 5 series?? dvd player video plays fine but sound sstutter..but while playing Itunes it plays fine,..when a use imovie it stutter again,...only by setting the HD apple it would sound good,..but when I put it to the bose in audio/midi core audio ,..it stutter tru the speakers,...that would be the usb 2.0? righht? or i`m i wrong?

For anyone having troubles with USB, here'a a general approach path:.....nJoy installing(/uninstalling)

Thank you holly lifesaver! Finally it works. It works on 10.4.9 with semthex 8.9.1 kernel. Your job is great.

hello guys! well i have read the post several times but i cannot get the USB patch correctly installed, altought i have already done it manually it seems to not be working, i also downloaded the dmg file but is the same thing, i can see the usb ports but no more information is displayed as in some pictures shown in the the posts that have lots of information for ports...

thanx in advance guys

I have the same problem, and I have problem with my Realtek8139 (in PCI slot) and I belive that's problem actualy not in USB or NIC, but some more general problem.

P.S.: I have Asus K8N4-E mobo

Hi I d like to help, but you need to include in your post info on: OSx86 version & Kernel and system mobo. Beyond that the following would help.

kextstat | grep USB
ioreg -w0 -bl (this is long and is usually attached to the post)
dmesg | grep USB

advanced users can do
kextload <path>PCGenUSBEHCI.kext

Also pls. re-read the FAQs in the dmg's. Also pls. note that presently the driver has not been tested on 10.4.9 by myself. So I couldn't verify operation on that platform. Also, what happens when you plug a USB2 device in?

ok i couldn´t get the other two but this is the first picture

my mobo system is a foxconn 661FX7MI-RS

my current version is 10.4.8 with kernel 8.8.1

Hi you can copy & paste from the terminal using edit>copy/paste from the terminal menu. The kext output looks in order. I note that you have parallells running. There is another post in this thread from a user with parallells (if I remember correctly) That might help. If you have trouble executing ioreg, e.g. you do not get the full output, then the problem might be with the SMBIOS kext, and you ll need to get Pauli's? SMBIOS. I wont be in front of my CPU for a few weeks so sorry for the rather sketchy explanations.

Also have you tried sudo dmesg?

Best.

hi thnax for your quick replies, yes i tried it returns several errors from the usb something about timing out...hold on a dew minutes i will post them

the "ioreg -w0 -bl" returns as u mention a lot of information(hard to get it for me)

this is the dmesg | grep USB picture, but it first returned an error, btw sorry for the pictures but i don not have any way to take them out of mac

Hi sorry I had not realized that you were missing networking. The error you are showing, I suspect that it relates to the sis controller. But it is a USB 1.0 error. (OHCI = USB 1x), (EHCI = USB2). If you run

sudo su
dmesg | grep EHCI

do you get similar timeout errors. In short, I would suspect that this driver wont work for you. But if you have some time to post the above output, esp the EHCI kext driver output as it loads, that would be helpful for looking at how your BIOS treats legacy SMI events.

hi again... nope i do not get any messages of any kind, it just rewites the line of my user for example

myuser~root:dmesg | grep EHCI

myuser~root:

and that's all

Odd... The kext load could be failing before initialization starts.

Has there been an update for us with 10.4.9/8.9.1? Just upgraded and unfortunatly fails to load the 10.4.8/8.8.1 version right from the get-go. Error doesn't show in logs (dmesg | grep EHCI produces nothing.)

Hi, the v.10.4.9 release is pending Apple's release of the 10.4.9 darwin source code as well as my time availability (ps: I have been quite busy recently).

If anyone can help, this would be greatly appreciated - OrByte or otherwise. I have a super-clean install running spectacularly - Athlon64 with NV FX5200 Core Graphics and Quartz Extreme, good audio, EVERYTHING works EXCEPT: USB 2.0.

As I look at verbose output upon bootup and such, I see the same thing: "family specific matching fails". When I search these forums with those terms and anything else like "USB 2.0 not working" I get nothing. So forgive me if this question has already been answered and I just didn't find it...

Nutshell: 10.4.8 Semthex w/JaS AMD, MSI K8TNeo2 board, VIA8297, Athlon64 2800+, DDR400(pair), and here's what SysProfiler gives about the "High Speed Controller" (USB 1.1 shows up fine, all connected devices show up properly):

The ioreg output is awfully verbose, but if you want to look at it, download it below. I did try installing the PCGen* kext but it didn't make any difference (at least it didn't give me a kernel panic - that rocked).

What am I missing here with this "family specific matching fails" stuff?

Evening chaps,

I have a little issue to which I haven't found an answer yet. If it's a FAQ please excuse my ignorance and just flame me to the right location - Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to use a "China" USB 2.0 Cardbus on my PPC PowerBook 1 GHz (the key here is 'PPC', not intel, not hackintosh) to sync my iPod at decent speeds (why did Apple remove FW support boo-hoo).

So far, with the aid of the development drivers I see the card in the menu bar and everything seems to be working fine except no iPod appears. When I connect a mouse to the card it soesn't light up either.

Pointers ?

Thanks a bunch

P.S: Card insertion log:

orByte releases USB modified source code & semi-retirement announced

Hi everybody!

Thanks a lot for all the comments and help I have received in the past few months since I started working on the Darwin USB drivers. Sadly, I am having almost no time left to work on this project. Initally I had only released the source code as diffs. However, I am now releasing the full project, in the hope that someone else will pick up the project and continue working on it. I will similarly release the Realtek 8139 driver - leaving only the Uli526x network driver on my list of things to to.

These projects are best suited to people who are already familiar with programming & Darwin compilation.

Instructions

---------------------------

1.IOUSBFamily-PCGen-261.4.2a-src.zip

Requires: XCODE 2.4.1, 10.4.8. Consult the original diff & bundle for modified files & FAQ.

2. IOUSBFamily-PCGen-256.4.2a-src.zip

Requires: XCODE 2.3, 10.4.7. Consult the original diff & bundle for modified files & FAQ.

Again, thank you very much

Best
