I tried to set a RPI 4 in OTG device mode

  • I added dtoverlay=dwc2 to config.txt
  • I modified the cmdline.txt so it launches wc2 & g_midi
  • I tried ,dr_mode=peripheral too
  • I just tried replacing Raspbian by raspbery pi os, same problem

it works on a pi zero, I see the device under windows 7

on RPI4 I get "Unknown Device" in windows 7 & 10

console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=d9b3f436-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait modules-load=dwc2,g_midi quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles

I checked the module is correctly loaded

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsmod | grep midi

 16:0    f_midi                           f_midi

when I plug the device looking at dmesg -w, I get

[  263.141426] dwc2 fe980000.usb: new device is full-speed
[  263.421383] dwc2 fe980000.usb: new device is full-speed
[  263.601365] dwc2 fe980000.usb: new device is full-speed

something is not quite right

Note: I made the Y USB-C cable myself I guess it's working fine since Windows is seeing a usb device

thanks for the time you'll spend on this one

  • I've not studied your question in detail, but I believe this (or something like it) has been done before. I've not tried it myself (yet), but a few questions re OTG have been asked & answered here - they might have some useful information. This answer has links in it to a couple of resources that might be helpful. Take a look at that & let us know how you get on. – Seamus Aug 04 '20 at 19:10
  • I should have mentioned I already parsed a lot of other people questions an based my project on the many examples and doc I happened to find on the web, but thanks :-) – phil123456 Aug 04 '20 at 20:27
  • Perhaps it's because green is D- and white is D+ in many of the cable images I've seen - though, it does seem to be fairly split between the two - which pin of the USB-A connector is green, which is white? – Jaromanda X Aug 05 '20 at 05:12
  • I tried reversing green and white, even reversing the USB-C just in case, nothing works, it's not even detected in windows anymore – phil123456 Aug 05 '20 at 12:21
  • Have you also noticed the answer to How to make a splitter cable for the USB2 OTG port on the RPi 4B?? – Ingo Aug 08 '20 at 11:01
