Hi,
"Two independent set of mechanisms are defined to allow a USB Type-C
DRP to functionally swap power and data roles. When USB PD is
supported, power and data role swapping is performed as a subsequent
step following the initial connection process. For non-PD implementations,
power/data role swapping can optionally be dealt with as part of the initial
connection process."
Well, as I read it, without PD once a connection is established, you
are stuck with your role. So it seems to me that blocking a later
attempt to change it makes sense.
That seems to be a harsh and not very user friendly reading of the specification.
I would argue that the user doesn't care if the partner supports PD or not
when selecting a role, and I would prefer to provide an implementation which is
as user friendly as possible.
Thanks,
Guenter
