I didn't say to add "USB-ID" or "USB-VBUS". solution (a) was to have the following "USB" - attached means ID is high. i.e. Type-B plug attached. "USB-HOST" - attached means ID is low. i.e. Type-A plug attached. "USB-POWER" - attached means USB power is present. i.e. VBUS is alive. This way the definition of USB and USB-HOST remain true to their name and avoid further confusions. VBUS state is got through the "USB-POWER" cable state. > > What is the appropriate method of following two solution? > - Fisrt, use the new cable name "USB-*".
