USB OTG allows for that. Moreover device can be host even if ID=1 (so detected cable type is USB device), or peripheral when ID=0 (so detected cable type is USB host). Devices would need to have complete information about USB cable connection, because OTG state machine needs that. As I wrote, current USB cable names are misleading. It would be better to have "USB-VBUS" and "USB-ID". >> In fact it would be better to have cables named "USB-VBUS" and "USB-ID" >> - in this convention it would be more clear.
