To anyone with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W...
I just got Zero 2W + mini HDMI adapter + micro USB OTG cable combo, from Amazon last week. All seem to be working. *Except*, whenever I plug or unplug OTG cable, the Zero 2W *reboots*. Nothing is connected to the USB cable, so it's not "power" issue. I don't know if the problem is Zero 2W side or USB cable side.
Does your Zero 2W reboot, when you plug/unplug OTG cable? It's strange that plugging/unplugging just USB cable, would cause a reboot. Same behavior on my Zero 2W using keyboard HID over USB OTG. Power appears to route through microusb data port when OTG is enabled. Thanks for testing. I feel better now, that mine is not defective. I looked into logs (journalctl), but it's clean reset. Absolutely nothing in the log.
Note, I'm using Alpine Linux in diskless mode (running entirely in RAM), so improper shutdowns or reboots aren't an issue to me. Diskless? How do you put Alpine into RAM? Do you do network boot?
