(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NextGenUpdate, today I found this neat GitHub that was recently updated a few weeks ago with the Xpad Kernel Drivers you could use for the Xbox One/360. Everything you need to read and learn is in the GitHub I will provide for you.

GitHub: You must login or register to view this content.

Here is what the README.md had to say from the developer: "Updated Xpad Linux Kernel Driver"

Driver for the Xbox/ Xbox 360/ Xbox 360 Wireless/ Xbox One Controllers

This driver includes the latest changes in the upstream linux kernel and additionally carries the following staging changes:

• Enable debug outputs to ease resolving issues
  
• Some minor code refactoring improving readability
  

Installing

    sudo git clone https://github.com/paroj/xpad.git /usr/src/xpad-0.4

sudo dkms install -m xpad -v 0.4

Updating

    cd /usr/src/xpad-0.4

sudo git fetch

sudo git checkout origin/master

sudo dkms remove -m xpad -v 0.4 --all

sudo dkms install -m xpad -v 0.4

Removing

    

sudo dkms remove -m xpad -v 0.4 --all

sudo rm -rf /usr/src/xpad-0.4

Usage

This driver creates three devices for each attached gamepad

1.) /dev/input/jsN

• Example:

      jstest /dev/input/js0
  

  
  

2.) /sys/class/leds/xpadN/brightness

• Example:

      echo COMMAND > /sys/class/leds/xpad0/brightness where COMMAND is one of
  

  
  

• 0: off
  
• 1: all blink, then previous setting
  
• 2: 1/top-left blink, then on
  
• 3: 2/top-right blink, then on
  
• 4: 3/bottom-left blink, then on
  
• 5: 4/bottom-right blink, then on
  
• 6: 1/top-left on
  
• 7: 2/top-right on
  
• 8: 3/bottom-left on
  
• 9: 4/bottom-right on
  
• 10: rotate
  
• 11: blink, based on previous setting
  
• 12: slow blink, based on previous setting
  
• 13: rotate with two lights
  
• 14: persistent slow all blink
  
• 15: blink once, then previous setting
  

The generic event device:

• Example:

       fftest /dev/input/by-id/usb-*360*event*
  
  
  

  
  

Debugging

As a regular unpriveledged user

Setup console to display kernel log.

    dmesg --level=debug --follow

Open a new console and access the device with jstest.

    jstest /dev/input/jsX

Interact with the device and observe that data packets recieved from device are printed to kernel log.

Save dmesg buffer and attach to bug report, don't forget to describe button sequences in bug report.

    dmesg --level=debug > dmesg.txt

Ctrl+C to close interactive console sessions when finished.

Sending Upstream

    git format-patch --cover-letter upstream..master

git send-email --to xxx *.patch

this sounds cool!
