Re: Laptop as KVM to access RasPi

A remark though. You cannot just plug an USB cable into both the RasPi and
laptop and expect it to work : Both are hosts, and as such will not talk to
each other.
 
You would need a special USB host-to-host cable (with a hidden proxying
'puter somewhere in the cable), which needs to emulate a standard ethernet
connection.

If you have a Pi 4 or 5, the  USB-C port is dual-role and can be configured
as a USB 2 device, where you can configure the Pi as a 'gadget' that appears
to the PC as a network, keyboard, mouse, serial or storage device, using a
regular USB-C cable (although you may need to power the Pi another way).
The same goes for the microUSB USB port on the Zeroes.  The 1A/3A models can
also do it but you need a USB A to A cable.
