    I figured out how to enable USB device mode on my XPS 13 (9350) 馃帀

    Though for some ungodly reason, it uses the right-side full USB port. So a crossover cable is required.

    Rough process: Same as https://casualhacking.io/blog/2019/6/2/debug-uefi-code-by-single-stepping-your-coffee-lake-s-hardware-cpu, but looking for "xDCI Support" instead.
    Dump the system SPI, get Setup from UEFI, run IFRExtractor.

    Used https://github.com/datasone/grub-mod-setup_var/releases/ to do
    setup_var_3 0x56B 1

    Is xDCI for DCI debug purpose only, or capable for emulating arbitrary usb devices?

    Arbitrary devices, `modprobe g_ether` pops up as an ethernet device. Also have to do
    `echo device > /sys/bus/platform/devices/intel_xhci_usb_sw/usb_role/intel_xhci_usb_sw-role-switch/role` to switch modes.

    Still working on porting on adding FunctionFS to libusbd though.

    I also figured it out for my Surface Go 1,
    setup_var_cv PchSetup 0x40 1 1

    which is super exciting bc that unblocks a project I've had in mind for a while: using it as a plug-in drawing tablet, just present as a HID touchscreen.
