Relation between USB_OTG_ID and /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role

[yangao]

Hi,

We are using iMX6 DL. On OTG port, we detected USB_OTG_ID is low but 

~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role
gadget

Is there something wrong?

I am thinking USB_OTG_ID being low means OTG port works as host and I can connect some USB device to it; while /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role being "gadget" means the OTG port is working as gadget mode so I can only connect a host to it, right?

Thanks for the reply. There are some HW issue and HW re-design make the two match.

Hello,

Yes, your reasoning is correct, while the USB OTG ID pin is high/floating USB should be working as a device/gadget and when it is low it is working as a host.

Please check that you have configured correctly in your device tree this pin, you may refer to the following post:
