■ bmRequestType
This bitmapped field identifies the characteristics of the specific request. In particular, this field identifies the
direction of data transfer in the second phase of the control transfer. The state of the Direction bit is ignored
if the wLength field is zero, signifying there is no Data stage.
The USB Specification defines a series of standard requests that all devices must support. These are
enumerated in Table 6-6. In addition, a device class may define additional requests. A device vendor may
also define requests supported by the device.
Requests may be directed to the device, an interface on the device, or a specific endpoint on a device. This
field also specifies the intended recipient of the request. When an interface or endpoint is specified, the
wIndex field identifies the interface or endpoint.
■ bRequest
This field specifies the particular request. The Type bits in the bmRequestType field modify the meaning of
this field. This specification defines values for the bRequest field only when the bits are reset to zero,
indicating a standard request (refer to Table 6-6).
■ wValue
The contents of this field vary according to the request. It is used to pass a parameter to the device, specific to
the request.
■ wIndex
The contents of this field vary according to the request. It is used to pass a parameter to the device, specific to
the request.
The wIndex field is often used in requests to specify an endpoint or an interface. Figure 6-30 shows the
format of wIndex when it is used to specify an endpoint.

The Direction bit is set to zero to indicate the OUT endpoint with the specified Endpoint Number and to one
to indicate the IN endpoint. In the case of a control pipe, the request should have the Direction bit set to zero
but the device may accept either value of the Direction bit.
Figure 6-31 shows the format of wIndex when it is used to specify an interface.

■ wLength
This field specifies the length of the data transferred during the second phase of the control transfer. The
direction of data transfer (host-to-device or device-to-host) is indicated by the Direction bit of the
