Abstract
Techniques described herein include a method, system, and apparatus for detecting an orientation configuration. For example, an apparatus having an all-in-one port may include a first configuration pin and a second configuration pin. The apparatus may also include logic configured to enter into an accessory mode based on a presence of a first signal on the first configuration pin and a second signal on the second configuration pin. The logic may be further configured to provide an orientation indication by altering the first signal on the first configuration pin.
