Hi Guenter, I'm bringing up a custom board based on NXPs I.MX8 processor that is powered on only by a USB type C. No battery is included. The PD interface chip is a PTN5110 from NXP. The problem I'm seeing is that when I power up the board through a Type C to Type C USB cable the board has the VBUS cut off in the early steps of the tcpm driver init. Now my question is, can the state machine modified and can we start from CONNECTED or TOGGLING state to jump over the first PORT_OFF state or there are any other implications and this is not possible? Please find bello the log from debugfs obtained if I supply externally VBUS to keep it alive while the bus is reset by the source.
