Presumably the enp0s20u1 down is on the Arch Linux system?hello i'm using arch linux and a Raspberry pi zero 2 W and would like to access it with a usb cable.
I've added
modules-load=dwc2,g_ether
to the cmdline.txt.
and:
dtoverlay=dwc2
to config.txt.
and added ssh to the boot folder.
I've tried different distributions from the rpi-imager aswell as the arch arm https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... -pi-zero-2.
I've tried different usb cables for the usb port on my rpi. all are a bit longer than 10 cm.
Nothing seems to work.
with the ip link command i see an:
5: enp0s20u1 ...
but its state is DOWN
I'm not able to access it with ssh.
Any help please? Thank you very much!
To use the USB cable connection with a Pi client you need to have the server side (Arch Linux in your case) configured as well.
No clue what the magic incantation is on Arch to enable that usb hotspot.
