Abstract

A host electronic device that supports both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Controller Area Network (CAN) connections is provided. When the host electronic device detects connection from a peripheral electronic device that uses the CAN protocol, the host electronic device switches to USB-C alternate mode and routes CAN signals over sideband use signals.
