  • I found some directions that might help.

    Enabling USB-C OTG Device Mode :
    Ensure the Linux device has a USB-C port that supports OTG functionality.
    In the device tree, set the dr_mode property of the USB OTG controller to “peripheral” or “otg” to enable device mode.
    Configure the TUSB320 USB-C controller (or equivalent) to operate in UFP (Upstream Facing Port) mode, which allows the device to act as a USB peripheral.
    Configuring USB Gadget Drivers :
    Load the appropriate Linux USB gadget driver for the desired functionality, such as g_ether for Ethernet over USB, g_serial for a serial device, etc.
    Manually configure the USB network interface, such as assigning an IP address to usb0.
    Connecting to a Host :
    Use a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the Linux device in OTG device mode to a host PC.
    The host PC should then detect the Linux device as a USB peripheral, allowing file transfer, network connectivity, or other functionality depending on the configured gadget driver.







  • Why are identity politics even allowed to be discussed in an unrelated field (software development) in the first place? Seems it always just leads to people getting upset when you can just not talk about it as it’s really not related at all to my knowledge.

    I can kinda agree here. In the open source community, identity politics should be especially irrelevant. The FOSS licences are explicitly designed in a way to not discriminate based on such factors like race, religion, gender, nationality, biological sex, political views, etc. However, from what I can gleam from the blog, it seems somehow related to the COC and maintainer behavior and a lack of transparency rather than “identity politics”. In what way, idk because the article doesn’t seem to specify any specific verifiable incident, at least from what I can tell. But I will say, that if it is a matter of the COC, that the COC is supposed to be a protection of the right for an individual to be able to express themselves in an environment that won’t prosecute them. So, in this regard it’d make sense to if say someone was being miss gendered maliciously, it’d likely violate the COC. In this regard, the right for one to express one’s self doesn’t give one the right to harass others because you don’t agree with how they’re expressing themself.
