I have a new RPi5 that I'd like to use in USB gadget mode, but none of the tutorials I have found work for me. I have a few RPi4s that I connect to regularly as USB gadgets but I'm struggling with this 5.
I have a new RPi 5, 8GB. I am using RPi Imager on my Mac to install 64-bit Bookworm with Desktop. I am booting to a 64GB USB3 flashdrive.
I can SSH into the Pi if I tether through my phone's WIFI and power it using an official RPi 27W power supply.
My MacBook Air USB-C ports can supply 35W and after editing config.txt with "usb_max_current_enable=1" as seen hereviewtopic.php?t=361206, I can power the Pi from my Macbook via USB-C/USB-C cable and SSH to it over my phone's WIFI.
The USB-C cable I'm using is the same one that I use to connect to my RPi4s.
On a fresh install, I followed this guide by thagrol viewtopic.php?t=364247 but the Pi was unresponsive as pi@pi.local or at IP 169.254.1.1.
On another fresh install, I followed this tutorial https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress/202 ... -c-gadget/, but again no luck.
I also followed some suggestions from this thread viewtopic.php?p=2242662&hilit=hardill#p2242662
I'd really appreciate some help resolving this issue. I have projects I want to get to, but I have the worst luck with straightforward tutorials that seem to work for everyone else. Tethering over my phone WIFI is not ideal for my work environment, I really need to be able to just plug into the Pi. Thank you.
