Hub Configuration Options
The SMSC hub supports a large number of features (some are mutually exclusive), and must be
configured in order to correctly function when attached to a USB host controller. There are three
principal ways to configure the hub: SMBus, EEPROM, or by internal default settings (with or without
configuration option over-rides). In all cases, the configuration method will be determined by the
CFG_SEL[2], CFG_SEL[1] and CFG_SEL[0] pins immediately after RESET_N negation. Please refer
to
for more information.
