TPS65981: HPD and AMSEL are not asserted

Part Number: TPS65981
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB546A-DCI

We are having issue with this chip (configured as DFP role) where the HPD and AMSEL events are not being asserted when we connect a USB C Alt mode DP device. The internal register 0x58 indicates that the PD controller is entered in DP mode. Here is the register read from device ( 0x58), The first byte 0x03 is the byte 1.

0x03 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x08 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x05 0x10 0x00 0x00

This indicates DPModeActive = 1 and DP_SID_Detected =1. Which is DP device is detected. However as we already said, it does not assert HPD and AMSEL.

What else we need to do to make it work.

Naveen, You should look at PD trace logs. I am assuming you are DP source as well ( as in you are host trying to connect to a monitor to dock). In this case the far-end should be sending DP attention message which will then convert to HPD. Please check out DP Alt mode documentation for details.

HI,

An update --------

Looks like the PD controller is working at least in one direction of cable. Need to understand why it does not work in other direction. However, we are using TUSB546A-DCI as the crossover switch. The crossover switch requires CTL pin 0 to be toggles from 0 to 1 and back to 0 in order to take to Alt mode. How this can be achieved with the PD controller? I saw schematic using AMSEL for CTL0 but the AMSEL just goes to high. Which event I have to use to get this behavior?

Thanks
