Otherwise I have to write one myself. In which case anybody have a good guide on writing Linux kernel drivers in rust? Maybe specifically catered towards controllers

Otherwise I guess I can get chat gpt to do it

The thing has three ‘modes’ Pc,ps4, and ps5. But just connecting it to Pc doesn’t work

Hey guys,

Seems I had a bad USB port. Looks like ChatGPT won’t be coding us a driver anytime soon

I do concede my lack of sleep has led to bad judgement

If you want to write drivers you'll need some really good documentation on how to interact with the device.

Then when you have that ask ChatGPT how to write a driver, it'll most likely not do the best job on writing it in Rush so for a sample code asking for C code will give better result.

You’re right, I didn’t consider documentation being a problem never written a driver . I just assumed it was pretty easy for something with just 12 buttons. Any pointers on REing. I’m assuming victrix doesn’t put out any docs on their sticks

I would bet that you just need to add the USB device id to the right driver and it will work. It's PlayStation compatible and Windows compatible, so it should work as either a dual shock USB device or a generic hid controller of some sort.

What does appear in "dmesg" when connecting this device?

[-] frostphunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not at Pc atm but I’ll let you know ASAP

also I’m running steam as steam deck in gamescope on wayland in case my hardware helps anyone. Should be recent versions b/c rolling release distro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
