My customer has the below question on the carkit and the USB charging:
We are talking about using USB_OTG input to charge a battery. There is a table in the PMIC that describes how it determines whether or not it is connected to a dedicated charger(usb wall wart instead of usb from PC) based on the resistance of the ID pin and whether or not D+ is shorted to D-. This is the functionality we need to get working. The ID status register reports back what resistance it sees and there is mention that an internal state machine should automatically go to the PH_CHARGER state, but I am not 100% certain what we need to do to get this functionality working.
As a side note, we are using a separate battery charger instead of using the PMIC as the battery charger because the FETs on the SOM are undersized to handle the current we need.
