I misunderstood it's better to put typec props under connector node in all cases so we can have a unified typec description. As Rob comments that's only required for multiple connectors for one controller, not for simple connector like my case, I will put those props under tcpc node. Jun Li > > > Thanks, > > -- > heikki
