Hello! I have an USB-CTM-MINIDK-EVM, that works fine if using external DELL 20V power supply. I would like to run it from the MacBook Pro charger via USB-C (connector J30).
The board is working (supplied by the DRP, from laptop), but USB hubs are not operational, and not charging the connected laptop either (via the DRP port). Is it intentional? Can we set up the board to activate charging ? I would like to avoid the DELL charger.
Thank you

Hello
I checked the PD adaptor. It is an Apple Mac Book pro charger. I used a STUSB1602 based eval board, with a simple terminal program.
Received Source PDOs:
1) 5.00V 2.40A
2) 9.00V 3.00A
3) 20.00V 3.00A
I selected manually profile #3.

Requested 3 : 20.00V 3.00A

So I can confirm, the PD Charger is OK, supports 20V@3A.
I checked the PD protocol between USB-CTM-MINIDK-EVM and the charger. It seems, charger keeps sending the Source PDOs, but no any reply from the board. So it remains at 5V.
Is it possible, that the J30 is not recognized as an USB-C input, no CC, no communication ? Maybe U43 chip is not operational ?
No, no blue led (see photo below)
I guess U43 TPS65982 chip is "empty". Does not communicate with the Charger.
BTW, I had to reprogram the other TPS chip (TPS65986) as discussed in the other thread:
How can I program U43 (TPS65982) ? Is it necessary ?
