EPRTwinkie

EPR (USB PD 3.1) capable PD sniffer based on Google Twinkie (https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/twinkie) and inspired by https://github.com/dojoe/Twonkie and https://github.com/gregdavill/PD-sniffer

This hardware will run BMC USBPD capture with unmodified Twinkie firmware but VBUS/VCONN voltage and current readout won't work without some minor modifications:

INA231 bus voltage location is register 0x02, INA237 location is 0x05

INA231 bus voltage multiplier is 2.5mV/LSB, INA237 is 3.125mV/LSB

INA231 current location is register 0x04, INA237 location is 0x07

INA231 shunt calibration location is register 0x05, INA237 location is 0x02

Shunt calibration needs to be changed to 0x6000 for INA237 with 30mOhm resistors as used in this design

Alert and mask settings are also different but I haven't touched those yet.

The Total Phase PD Analyzer firmware can be patched to support the INA237 (tested with pda-firmware-v1.11.img, sha256 188ff949bfdff9008c31673b82b8075096c83ed49956b9d1404533d28acdc3b5) using this patch file. Note that the diff was done on a hex representation created using ´xxd -c1´. If someone has a more straight-forward way of creating readable binary diffs I'd love to hear about it.
