USB controller on NUC

[sbakki]

Do the USB 3.1 or thunderbolt controllers on NUC support dual role like OTG ?

[sbakki]

Hi,

    I bought a NUC10i5FNH device. I have an application that needs me to put it in device mode. I'm not sure if that is possible. Below is what i see on lshw for usb. The 3.0 port has the USB type C connector. I had assumed controllers connecting on type C must support dual role by default, doesn't look so. Looking at lshw, the 2.0 port clearly supports only xhci and not xdci. However it is not clear from 3.0 port. Can somebody please tell if device mode is supported. Any specs for the controller would be helpful.

Hi Steven,

                  Thank you, figured out these chipsets do not support dual role. However 500 series intel chipsets do have XDCI.

Now, i need help with finding out motherboards with 500 series chipsets and have linux drivers for XDCI. I understand the drivers are board specific but surprisingly i didnt find anything on googling nor is there anything mainline kernel submission.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Hello sbakki,

Please be aware that FN does not support XDCI. It is for USB dual role, which can let system be device mode. XDCI is not a requirement on FN. It does not only relate to BIOS but also relate to HW design.

Please let me know if you have any concern.

Hello sbakki,

We do not possess that information, as the boards are designed by third party companies. I recommend you to consult that information with any of the boards manufacturers https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-intel.html?tab=system-manufacturers

Please let me know if you have any concerns.
