File showing the USB Power Delivery Specification Revision used
in communication.

Description:
This is an optional attribute file showing the version of the
specific revision of the USB Power Delivery Specification. In
most cases the specification version is not known and the file
is not available.
What: /sys/class/usb_power_delivery/.../source-capabilities
Date: May 2022
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <[email protected]>
Description:
The source capabilities message "Source_Capabilities" contains a
set of Power Data Objects (PDO), each representing a type of
power supply. The order of the PDO objects is defined in the USB
Power Delivery Specification. Each PDO - power supply - will
have its own device, and the PDO device name will start with the
object position number as the first character followed by the
power supply type name (":" as delimiter).

Date: May 2022
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <[email protected]>
Description:
The sink capability message "Sink_Capabilities" contains a set
of Power Data Objects (PDO) just like with source capabilities,
but instead of describing the power capabilities, these objects
describe the power requirements.
The order of the objects in the sink capability message is the
same as with the source capabilities message.
Fixed Supplies

Date: May 2022
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <[email protected]>
Description:
Devices containing the attributes (the bit fields) defined for
Fixed Supplies.
The device "1:fixed_supply" is special. USB Power Delivery
Specification dictates that the first PDO (at object position
1), and the only mandatory PDO, is always the vSafe5V Fixed
Supply Object. vSafe5V Object has additional fields defined for
it that the other Fixed Supply Objects do not have and that are
related to the USB capabilities rather than power capabilities.

Date: May 2022
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <[email protected]>
Description:
This file shows the value of the USB Suspend Supported bit in
vSafe5V Fixed Supply Object. If the bit is set then the device
will follow the USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 rules for suspend and
resume.
What: /sys/class/usb_power_delivery/.../sink-capabilities/1:fixed_supply/higher_capability
Date: February 2023
Contact: Saranya Gopal <[email protected]>
Description:
This file shows the value of the Higher capability bit in
vsafe5V Fixed Supply Object. If the bit is set, then the sink
needs more than vsafe5V(eg. 12 V) to provide full functionality.

What: /sys/class/usb_power_delivery/.../<capability>/1:fixed_supply/unconstrained_power
Date: May 2022
Contact: Heikki Krogerus <[email protected]>
Description:
This file shows the value of the Unconstrained Power bit in
vSafe5V Fixed Supply Object. The bit is set when an external
source of power, powerful enough to power the entire system on
its own, is available for the device.
