Ack. Will update this with the detailed hardware description
in the next version.

As per the previous discussion on the EUD, it was agreed upon to map EUD as a type C connector and use Role-Switch to change the USB role instead of extcon interface that was being used previously. The link for the same
is as follows:-

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5db1a666-62ec-c850-6626-ad33d337b452@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/


Not using extcon is the right thing, but perhaps we should make the EUD
a role_switch provider and client, so that we can describe how it sits
inbetween the connector and the controller.

That way it has the power to pass through or override requests from the
upstream role-switcher, based on the status of EUD.


That said, I'm still curious to what happens if I renegotiate the roles
dynamically in a Type-C environment, while enabling EUD. How would the
device on the other end of the cable know that it's supposed to be a
host? Or there's simply a reset of the link when this happens?

Thanks,

Hi Bjorn,

By making EUD Role-Switch provider and client do you mean that
we should have a EUD node which will have a connector node as
child and this connector node will have a port that points towards
the drd role-switch?

So that my device tree node will look like the following in that case

eud@88e0000 {
        compatible = "qcom,usb-connector-eud";
        reg = <0 0x88e0000 0 0x2000>,
              <0 0x88e2000 0 0x1000>;
        interrupt-parent = <&pdc>;
        interrupts = <11 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
        usb_con: connector {
                compatible = "usb-c-connector";
                label = "USB-C";
                port {
                      eud_usb_output: endpoint {
                      remote-endpoint = <&eud_usb3_input>;
                 };
        };

};


@usb2 {
    dwc3 {
       usb-role-switch;
       port {
             eud_usb3_input: endpoint {
                   remote-endpoint = <&eud_usb_output>;
             };
     };
};

Also EUD functions only in device mode, so when the role-switch is done by the controller
to set the device mode, the PC on the other end becomes the host.

Thanks,
Souradeep
