Troubleshooting • RPi 4/5 in gadget mode not picked up by Windows PC

$

The Pi 4 is configured to be running in gadget mode (g_ether). According to some online posts I have read, I am expecting it to show up in the device manager as a COM port when it is connected to a Windows PC. However it does not.

Tried the same setup on a pi 5 as well, and the same result is observed.

Here is what I get from the ifconfig result:

Code:

usb0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500        inet 192.168.2.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.2.255        ether 52:6e:22:2b:27:c6  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
Although the usb0 port is enabled, it shows 0 for RX and TX packets, which looks strange to me.

The Raspberry Pi is connected to a USB hub which supposed to provide both power and data transfer.

Both the Pi4 and Pi5 running is the latest Raspbian 64bit version released on March 15th.

Any help on how to make the Pi visible to Windows PC is much appreciated!
