Traveling home from #KiCon. It was very nice, had the chance to work a bit more on my projects, and hack on the libraries. A bit disappointing that most talks were LLM related.

@josch oO good luck, and safe travels

@azonenberg ah ok, thanks.

Hello Fedi,

has anyone built a dual USB-C PD circuit with the EZ-PD™ CCG4 from Infineon? The idea is to have one USB-C port supplying the whole board, and the second doing DRP (PD for charging, alt mode, high speed). #electronics

And people are still defending LLMs when they do license laundering by default.

mhm, I should probably finalize my slides for #MRMCD

@Fisk wizarsd, mogel Motte. Letzteres kann ich mitnehmen.

@mntmn @navi @novenary Updated plan:

Will need to verify if this is correct with someone who knows more than I do; this is mostly based on TI's TIDA-01243

@yukijoou Debian unstable, though given that slop contributions were now allowed, that leaves a bitter taste.

I will likely need to keep using it for the near future though.

@mntmn @novenary @navi can do. FYI this is my WIP:

@navi @novenary @mntmn yes please, can also do a layout / circuit review if you like. Which chip could do PD/DP alt mode?

@mntmn @novenary @navi yeah, I found that also confusing, but according to VESA, the sink is what receives the image

@mntmn @novenary @navi from the dock side, a sink (to the monitor)

@mntmn @novenary @navi thanks. my plan would be USB-C in (PD), USB-A 3.0 out, DP out (sink), and USB-C out with all those.

@bremner @aesthr EE student here, yeah, this is kinda a thing. But IMO also a bit justified if you compare our exams to, say, marketing degrees.

@navi @novenary I actually have some WIP on that. To also power the whole thing with PD is more complicated than I'd imagined, and I need to ask more knowledgeable people. DP alt mode is also not that trivial, I think I know how though. Also, you can only have one Displayport sink; for more you need MST, and ICs for that are unobtainium. @mntmn maybe knows how to power a circuit from PD and provide charging, too?
