Can STUSB4710 act as a DRD?

Hi,

Can PD Controller (STUSB4710) act as a DRD?

STUSB4710 - Stand-alone USB PD controller (with short-to-VBUS protection) - STMicroelectronics

I believe that STUSB4710 cannnot operate as DRD (Dual Role Data), and can only function as UFP.
If there is a way to operate it as DRD, please let me know how to configure it.

Hello,

The STUSB4710 is a standalone chipset designed for SOURCE role only. As specified in the standard, at connection the Data role must be aligned with the Power role, so STUSB4710 is the Host (DFP). Then, the STUSB4710 does not support the Data Role swap, so it stays as the Host.
For information, some PCs (acting firstly as UFP) ask for a Data Role and they switch to DFP even if they do not receive any response. It is not really compliant to the standard.
