The code compiles again, and it seems to work as it did before. There's
still a lot to do (we still have a mess of globals), but the PE
correctly calls the new DPM functions via the list of callbacks in the
configuration object.
For now, the new <pdb.h> file only has a function to start the library,
based on the old start_pd function from main.c. It'll eventually be all
a user needs to include, but there's a lot more refactoring to do.
/!\ BROKEN BUILD /!\
This commit moves the library code to the library directory. This
causes the firmware to not compile. A few changes were made to reduce
the nubmer of errors, but some errors just aren't going to go away until
I go ahead with the planned changes.
It was never really necessary to update the source capabilities before
making sending a Request message. It was convenient though, since we
didn't store the previous Source_Capabilities message. Now we do, so
it's possible to make a new Request based on that.
This commit makes the Sink do just that. It doesn't follow the spec's
state diagram for this, but it's a minor change that works better with
this firmware's design, so I don't mind. There's a comment explaining
that too, so future folks won't be confused by it either.
Update requested power after writing configuration
The PD Buddy Sink now requests new power after configuration is written.
This means that in Setup mode, the voltage and current can be
re-negotiated on the fly. Cool, huh?
It's still impossible to turn the output on and off from the shell. New
commands will allow that soon enough, though. Also, I'm seeing some
weird behavior when switching to/from 5 V (power shuts off entirely
sometimes), but I suspect that's a quirk of the source I'm using (Asus
USB 3.1 UPD Panel) and not the PD Buddy Sink itself. I plan to make or
buy a USB power/data splitter to verify this.
I think so, anyway. Testing with a heat gun didn't result in the Sink
resetting itself, so I'm not confident that I understand the FUSB302B's
over-temperature sensing mechanism.
I must point out though that I'm not confident that this
over-temperature protection is even useful. The PD Buddy Sink doesn't
get hot on its own, and if it did, it might not even be from the device
it's powering, making a hard reset useless. The spec says that we Shall
implement over temperature protection though, and that we Shall send a
Hard Reset message when it engages, so even though I take issue with the
requirement, I'll try to do what the standard says I Shall.
There are still a few things that the standard says we Shall do and we
don't, but it Works For Me™. I haven't implemented anything with
regards to GiveBack support, but that doesn't matter just yet. Our
handling of VDMs isn't quite right either. Anyway, it successfully
negotiates with so-called Split PDO power supplies, which is more than I
can say about some commercial products.
