I see in log messages in dmesg that the anx7688 driver sets a 500mA limit when the glasses are plugged in.

I confirmed with the manufacturer that 1A is needed.

I see good info from xrandr and such but the glasses won't turn on due to lack of current I suppose due to this 500mA limit.

I couldn't find any information on wiki pages or anx7688 product brief to tell me if I could increase the limit to a different value, say 2100 mA or 3000 mA as I might expect from a USB 3.1 device.

Thinking about this a bit more I realize I plan on using a viture usb-c charging adapter which I thought would provide power to the glasses and avoid the pinephone having to supply power but this doesn't seem to be the case. I suppose this adapter would be both supplying power to the glasses and pinephone as well as the pinephone supplying power to the adapter.

The setup would be something like this:



Code:
pinephone (usb-c)
 |
 v
adapter (has two usb-c ports, one for power, one for glasses) 
     /                                   \
glasses                          usb power bank
