David,

Does the USB1 automatically switch to host mode when you plug the type-C 
adapter?
Can you please print the kernel log without the adapter connected and then plug 
the
type-C adapter?

Looking at device tree (usb1 dr_mode = "otg") I assumed that the type-C was 
designed for
both device and host cases but it looks like it was never designed to be used 
as a host as
there is no VBUS regulator for the type-C port.

The safest way to provide power to the peripheral is like what Robert suggested
- Use a *powered USB3 hub and connect your camera to that

cheers,

Hi Robert,

For me I've powered the device on P9.5 and P9.1, as you've said, and connected 
a powered USB hub to the Type-C also. In this scenario my camera gets power, 
but is not seen by the BBAI (same for a USB key). When I do a lsusb, it just 
shows the USB hubs (internally) as if nothing is connected. When I connect to 
the USB 2 port everything works as expected.

Has anyone successfully gotten the USB3 to work as a host? If so, how?

Appreciate all the help,

Thanks,
David

     From what I can see on the schematic, there is no way to power a USB 
device plugged into the BBAI USB Type-C socket, there is no path to switch +5V 
power to the Type-C socket VBUS.

    You would need some sort of adapter or hub with power to supply your device 
(and the BBAI see below).

    The BBAI needs power from either USB Type-C or (+5V) P9.5, P9.6 and (0V) 
P9.1, P9.2.

    The USB2 can supply power to a device.

        Hi Roger,

        I finally got a Type-C to Type-A adapter but when I connected it, I 
still get no power to my camera, or to a USB Thumb Drive. Is there some setting 
I need to change to get this to work perhaps?

        Thanks,
        David

            Thanks for your email. Apologies for the delay getting back to you. 
Yes, I'm connecting the camera to the Type-C port. The camera has a Micro B 
connector so what I have right now is a cable with a USB Type-C on one end and 
a Micro-B connector on the other side. Unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a 
USB Type-C connector so I can't check it on my own laptop. The camera supports 
USB 3 according to the manufacturer.

            This is not the right way of connecting a device to the Type-C 
port. You will need a Type-C to Type-A adapter to connect non type-C 
peripherals.
            The Adapter is important because it will tell the Type-C logic on 
the board to switch to DFP (Downstream facing port mode) and so turn on VBUS.

            You should not need to run the script. AFAIK the port is in dual-role mode 
"otg" and should automatically switch to host on connecting the right adapter.
            In case you have a type-c thumb drive you should be able to test 
this out.


            My Apologies, I was incorrect on P5, it's connected to P9, the cape 
connector on the same side of the board as the Type-C connector.

            Your point that the camera should be able to take power from USB 
Type-C connector perhaps could be pointing to an issue. I'm not able to get any 
power out of that port. Is there some setting I have to make, or a jumper or 
something to get that to work? Mine seems to only take power in on the Type-C 
connector.

            Right. That's why you need to use the type-C to type-A adapter.
            e.g.

                How are you connecting the camera to the Type-C port? Does the 
camera support Type-C?
                If not what type-C to Type-A adaptor are you using? Does it 
support USB3.0? Did you verify it with your laptop's type-C port for example?

works as if I connect it to the USB2 port it all works perfectly.

                What is P5?

                Camera should be able to take power from the USB port. Why the 
custom power connection?

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

                No. That line is harmless. It just says that the XHCI driver 
doesn't undrestand the LPM mechanism so LPM will be disabled.
                (LPM->Link power management)

                The issue is more about signal integrity at 3.0 speeds or power 
sequencing of the camera.
