General discussion • Re: Bandwidth Speed and Options in Raspberry Pi USB Gadget Mode?

Does the new RPi 5 have USB 3.0 in gadget mode, or is it the same for all RPi with USB 2 as the maximum speed?
As I said above
Pi with USB 3 cannot use gadget mode on their USB 3 ports.
To be more exact, the following Pi models can do gadget mode all others cannot:
  • A
  • A+
  • 3A+ (only if booting from USB has not been enabled)
  • zero
  • zeroW
  • zero2W
  • 4B (on the USB C power in port)
  • 400 (on the USB C power in port)
  • Pi5 (on the USB C power in port)
  • CM
  • CM3
  • CM3+
  • CM4
If you need USB 3 device/gadget mode your best bet is a CM4 with an addon PCIe card that can do it and that is suipported under Linux. While the Pi5 has an exposed PCIe lane AFAIK this is largerly untested with anything other than M.2 NVMe devices.
There is only a single lane exposed on CM4. Are there any known addon PCIe card that are confirmed to work with it, considering that the bandwidth of a PCIe 2.0 x1 lane is less than that of USB 3?
