USB Type-C connector class
==========================
Introduction
------------
The typec class is meant for describing the USB Type-C ports in a system to the
user space in unified fashion. The class is designed to provide nothing else
except the user space interface implementation in hope that it can be utilized
on as many platforms as possible.
The platforms are expected to register every USB Type-C port they have with the
class. In a normal case the registration will be done by a USB Type-C or PD PHY
driver, but it may be a driver for firmware interface such as UCSI, driver for
USB PD controller or even driver for Thunderbolt3 controller. This document
considers the component registering the USB Type-C ports with the class as "port
driver".
On top of showing the capabilities, the class also offer user space control over
the roles and alternate modes of ports, partners and cable plugs when the port
driver is capable of supporting those features.
The class provides an API for the port drivers described in this document. The
attributes are described in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-typec.
User space interface
--------------------
Every port will be presented as its own device under /sys/class/typec/. The
first port will be named "port0", the second "port1" and so on.
When connected, the partner will be presented also as its own device under
/sys/class/typec/. The parent of the partner device will always be the port it
is attached to. The partner attached to port "port0" will be named
"port0-partner". Full path to the device would be
/sys/class/typec/port0/port0-partner/.
The cable and the two plugs on it may also be optionally presented as their own
devices under /sys/class/typec/. The cable attached to the port "port0" port
will be named port0-cable and the plug on the SOP Prime end (see USB Power
Delivery Specification ch. 2.4) will be named "port0-plug0" and on the SOP
Double Prime end "port0-plug1". The parent of a cable will always be the port,
and the parent of the cable plugs will always be the cable.
If the port, partner or cable plug supports Alternate Modes, every supported
Alternate Mode SVID will have their own device describing them. Note that the
Alternate Mode devices will not be attached to the typec class. The parent of an
alternate mode will be the device that supports it, so for example an alternate
mode of port0-partner will be presented under /sys/class/typec/port0-partner/.
Every mode that is supported will have its own group under the Alternate Mode
device named "mode<index>", for example /sys/class/typec/port0/<alternate
mode>/mode1/. The requests for entering/exiting a mode can be done with "active"
attribute file in that group.
Driver API
----------
Registering the ports
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The port drivers will describe every Type-C port they control with struct
typec_capability data structure, and register them with the following API:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_register_port typec_unregister_port
When registering the ports, the prefer_role member in struct typec_capability
deserves special notice. If the port that is being registered does not have
initial role preference, which means the port does not execute Try.SNK or
Try.SRC by default, the member must have value TYPEC_NO_PREFERRED_ROLE.
Otherwise if the port executes Try.SNK by default, the member must have value
TYPEC_DEVICE, and with Try.SRC the value must be TYPEC_HOST.
Registering Partners
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After successful connection of a partner, the port driver needs to register the
partner with the class. Details about the partner need to be described in struct
typec_partner_desc. The class copies the details of the partner during
registration. The class offers the following API for registering/unregistering
partners.
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_register_partner typec_unregister_partner
The class will provide a handle to struct typec_partner if the registration was
successful, or NULL.
If the partner is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to
show the result of Discover Identity command, the partner descriptor structure
should include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then
create a sysfs directory for the identity under the partner device. The result
of Discover Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_partner_set_identity
Registering Cables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After successful connection of a cable that supports USB Power Delivery
Structured VDM "Discover Identity", the port driver needs to register the cable
and one or two plugs, depending if there is CC Double Prime controller present
in the cable or not. So a cable capable of SOP Prime communication, but not SOP
Double Prime communication, should only have one plug registered. For more
information about SOP communication, please read chapter about it from the
latest USB Power Delivery specification.
The plugs are represented as their own devices. The cable is registered first,
followed by registration of the cable plugs. The cable will be the parent device
for the plugs. Details about the cable need to be described in struct
typec_cable_desc and about a plug in struct typec_plug_desc. The class copies
the details during registration. The class offers the following API for
registering/unregistering cables and their plugs:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_register_cable typec_unregister_cable typec_register_plug
typec_unregister_plug
The class will provide a handle to struct typec_cable and struct typec_plug if
the registration is successful, or NULL if it isn't.
If the cable is USB Power Delivery capable, and the port driver is able to show
the result of Discover Identity command, the cable descriptor structure should
include handle to struct usb_pd_identity instance. The class will then create a
sysfs directory for the identity under the cable device. The result of Discover
Identity command can then be reported with the following API:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_cable_set_identity
Notifications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the partner has executed a role change, or when the default roles change
during connection of a partner or cable, the port driver must use the following
APIs to report it to the class:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_set_data_role typec_set_pwr_role typec_set_vconn_role
typec_set_pwr_opmode
Alternate Modes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USB Type-C ports, partners and cable plugs may support Alternate Modes. Each
Alternate Mode will have identifier called SVID, which is either a Standard ID
given by USB-IF or vendor ID, and each supported SVID can have 1 - 6 modes. The
class provides struct typec_mode_desc for describing individual mode of a SVID,
and struct typec_altmode_desc which is a container for all the supported modes.
Ports that support Alternate Modes need to register each SVID they support with
the following API:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_port_register_altmode
If a partner or cable plug provides a list of SVIDs as response to USB Power
Delivery Structured VDM Discover SVIDs message, each SVID needs to be
registered.
API for the partners:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_partner_register_altmode
API for the Cable Plugs:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_plug_register_altmode
So ports, partners and cable plugs will register the alternate modes with their
own functions, but the registration will always return a handle to struct
typec_altmode on success, or NULL. The unregistration will happen with the same
function:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_unregister_altmode
If a partner or cable plug enters or exits a mode, the port driver needs to
notify the class with the following API:
.. kernel-doc:: drivers/usb/typec/typec.c
:functions: typec_altmode_update_active

USB3 debug port
===============
:Author: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>
:Date: March 2017
GENERAL
=======
This is a HOWTO for using the USB3 debug port on x86 systems.
Before using any kernel debugging functionality based on USB3
debug port, you need to::
1) check whether any USB3 debug port is available in
your system;
2) check which port is used for debugging purposes;
3) have a USB 3.0 super-speed A-to-A debugging cable.
INTRODUCTION
============
The xHCI debug capability (DbC) is an optional but standalone
functionality provided by the xHCI host controller. The xHCI
specification describes DbC in the section 7.6.
When DbC is initialized and enabled, it will present a debug
device through the debug port (normally the first USB3
super-speed port). The debug device is fully compliant with
the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high
performance full-duplex serial link between the debug target
(the system under debugging) and a debug host.
EARLY PRINTK
============
DbC has been designed to log early printk messages. One use for
this feature is kernel debugging. For example, when your machine
crashes very early before the regular console code is initialized.
Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of a full-
blown printk console driver and klogd.
On the debug target system, you need to customize a debugging
kernel with CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC enabled. And, add below
kernel boot parameter::
"earlyprintk=xdbc"
If there are multiple xHCI controllers in your system, you can
append a host contoller index to this kernel parameter. This
index starts from 0.
Current design doesn't support DbC runtime suspend/resume. As
the result, you'd better disable runtime power management for
USB subsystem by adding below kernel boot parameter::
"usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
Before starting the debug target, you should connect the debug
port to a USB port (root port or port of any external hub) on
the debug host. The cable used to connect these two ports
should be a USB 3.0 super-speed A-to-A debugging cable.
During early boot of the debug target, DbC will be detected and
initialized. After initialization, the debug host should be able
to enumerate the debug device in debug target. The debug host
will then bind the debug device with the usb_debug driver module
and create the /dev/ttyUSB device.
If the debug device enumeration goes smoothly, you should be able
to see below kernel messages on the debug host::
# tail -f /var/log/kern.log
[ 1815.983374] usb 4-3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[ 1815.999595] usb 4-3: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.
[ 1815.999899] usb 4-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0004

[ 1816.000360] usb 4-3: xhci_dbc converter now attached to ttyUSB0
You can use any communication program, for example minicom, to
read and view the messages. Below simple bash scripts can help
you to check the sanity of the setup.
