/dev/usb/oh0 is used to interact with the Wii's external USB bus. This interface is very similar to /dev/usb/oh1 and has two parts: the "root" or host device, and individual devices on which USB requests can be submitted.

/dev/usb/oh0 (IOS57 and newer)

In recent versions of IOS (after IOS 57), the OHCI0 module appears to implement a different interface and seems to only register this new interface of /dev/usb/oh0.

Only IOS_OPEN, IOS_CLOSE and IOS_IOCTL are valid commands. The other commands immediately return IPC_EINVAL (-4).

Ioctl Name Input Output Notes
0 USBV2_IOCTL_GET_VERSION - 0x20 bytes Writes the version 0x20001 to the output buffer. This is very similar to the IOS58 version of /dev/usb/hid, which writes 0x50001 to the output buffer instead. It is also reminiscent of /dev/usb/ehc which does the same thing (but with an ioctlv).

Request Name Input Output Notes
12 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_GETDEVLIST 2 2
  • in 0: u8 - number of descriptors to return
  • in 1: u8 - interface class
  • io 0: u8 - number of devices
  • io 1: u32* of size num_descriptors * 8 - device list
15 (ioctl) ? ? 4 bytes Mentioned by comex in #dolphin-dev.
20 (ioctlv) ? ? ? ?
25 (ioctlv) ? ? ? ?
27 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_DEVINSERTHOOK 2 0

Returns when a device with the requested VID/PID is plugged in, or immediately if the device is already inserted.

  • in 0: u16 - VID
  • in 1: u16 - PID
30 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_DEVINSERTHOOKID (RegisterInsertionNotifyWithId) 3 1

Returns when a device with the requested VID/PID is plugged in, or immediately if the device is already inserted.

It is similar to USBV0_IOCTL_DEVINSERTHOOK, but it has an additional in vector + io vector, possibly used for passing an "ID" (according the official name). Its purpose is unknown.

  • in 0: u16 - VID
  • in 1: u16 - PID
  • in 2: u8 - Unknown (00); some sort of ID?
  • io 0: u8* of size 4 - Unknown; some sort of ID?
31 (?) ? (IUSB_CancelInsertionNotify) ? ? ?

/dev/usb/oh0/%x/%x

These devices represent an individual USB device, based on its vendor ID and product ID (in hexadecimal format without leading zeroes). It is unclear how devices with the same VID/PID can be used at the same time.

Request Name Input Output Notes
0 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_CTRLMSG 6 1

Submits a control transfer.

  • in 0: u8 - bmRequestType
  • in 1: u8 - bmRequest
  • in 2: u16 - wValue (swapped)
  • in 3: u16 - wIndex (swapped)
  • in 4: u16 - wLength (swapped)
  • in 5: u8 - Unknown (00)
  • io 0: array of length wLength - Request data
1 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_BLKMSG 2 1

Submits a bulk transfer.

  • in 0: u8 - Endpoint
  • in 1: u16 - Length
  • io 0: array of length in[1] - Payload data
2 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_INTRMSG 2 1

Submits an interrupt transfer.

  • in 0: u8 - Endpoint
  • in 1: u16 - Length
  • io 0: array of length in[1] - Payload data
5 (ioctl) USBV0_IOCTL_SUSPENDDEV ? ?

Unknown. According to libogc, this is used for suspending a device.

6 (ioctl) USBV0_IOCTL_RESUMEDEV ? ?

Unknown. According to libogc, this is used for resuming a device.

9 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_ISOMSG 3 2

Submits an isochronous transfer.

  • in 0: u8 - Endpoint
  • in 1: u16 - Length
  • in 2: u8 - Number of isochronous packets
  • io 0: u16* of size in[2] - Sizes of the isochronous packets
  • io 1: array of length in[1] - Payload data
26 (ioctlv) USBV0_IOCTL_DEVREMOVALHOOK 0 0

Returns when the device is unplugged.

29 (ioctl) ? - -

Unknown. Used by Wheel of Fortune on shutdown. This probably resets the device.
