Advanced users • Re: Using Raspberry Pi in device mode

I'm afraid my Mac experience is very limited. What I can say is that device mode on a 4B and Pi5 works with Linux (Pi) hosts, Linux (x86) hosts, and Windows (x86) hosts.

A minimal test configuration on the Pi would be:

1. Code:

   [all]dtoverlay=dwc2

   at the end of config.txt. Make sure you do not have otg_mode=1 enabled anywhere.
   dr_mode=peripherla is not required but should do no harm.

2. Code:

    modules-load=dwc2,g_serial

   at the end of cmdline.txt

That should give a /dev/gs0 on the Pi and a USB serial por ton the Mac.
