Summary

This about making the LG 360 VR Goggles usable with a normal DisplayPort outlet.

The LG360VR uses the "DisplayPort over USB-C" standard. Our assumption is, that with little hardware effort, we can send a DisplayPort signal into it.

Current State of things

  • A passive PCB Adapter has been manufactured, though it doesn't work
  • Currently in the process of analyzing USB-PD communication, to figure out if this is the problem
    • Resolution: USB-PD Handshake is definitely necessary to get a display connection
  • Now designing a new PCB with STM32F072 for PD Handshake and DisplayPort Redriver IC
