Can the USBPD software be used without the TCPP hardware?

[Carl_G]

I need to have USB PD connectivity so I am using the examples provided. There are SNK and SRC and DRP examples. However, they all use the TCPP which is also included in all of the 3 demo boards. I don't see any way to disable the TCPP component itself and keep using the X-CUBE-TCPP middleware because it seems there is a library file provided that has the TCPP manipulation within it and I can't edit that file.

Is there any recommended strategy for developing a USBPD application on the STM32G071 that does not include the use of the TCPP hardware? I can uncheck the Board Part and the Board Support package but then I don't get good code generation.

Thanks

Hi @Carl_G 

Sure, USB PD can be used without the TCPP hardware.

Here is an example STM32CubeG0/Projects/STM32G0C1E-EV/Applications/USB-PD/USB-PD_Consumer_1port at master · STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeG0

X-CUBE-TCPP is dedicated package. For that reason, it cannot be customized.
