11.2.3 Host Controller Driver Responsibilities

This section summarizes the Host Controller Driver (HCD) responsibilities.

11.2.3.1 Host Controller Management

The Host Controller Driver manages the operation of the Host Controller (HC). It does so by
communicating directly to the operational registers in the Host Controller and establishing the
interrupt Endpoint Descriptor list head pointers in the HCCA.

The Host Controller Driver maintains the state of the HC, list processing pointers, list
processing enables, and interrupt enables.

11.2.3.2 Bandwidth Allocation

All access to the USB is scheduled by the Host Controller Driver. The Host Controller Driver
allocates a portion of the available bandwidth to each periodic endpoint. If sufficient
bandwidth is not available, a newly-connected periodic endpoint will be denied access to the
bus.
