From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

It has a long history and has enjoyed considerable usage +as Window's xinput library caused most PC games to focus on Xbox +controller compatibility. + +Due to backwards compatibility all buttons are reported as digital. +This only effects Original Xbox controllers. All later controller models +have only digital face buttons. + +Rumble is supported on some models of Xbox 360 controllers but not of +Original Xbox controllers nor on Xbox One controllers. As of writing +the Xbox One's rumble protocol has not been reverse engineered but in +the future could be supported. + + +0. Notes +-------- +The number of buttons/axes reported varies based on 3 things: +- if you are using a known controller +- if you are using a known dance pad +- if using an unknown device (one not listed below), what you set in the + module configuration for "Map D-PAD to buttons rather than axes for unknown + pads" (module option dpad_to_buttons) + +If you set dpad_to_buttons to N and you are using an unknown device +the driver will map the directional pad to axes (X/Y). +If you said Y it will map the d-pad to buttons, which is needed for dance +style games to function correctly. The default is Y. + +dpad_to_buttons has no effect for known pads. A erroneous commit message +claimed dpad_to_buttons could be used to force behavior on known devices. +This is not true. Both dpad_to_buttons and triggers_to_buttons only affect +unknown controllers. + + +0.1 Normal Controllers +---------------------- +With a normal controller, the directional pad is mapped to its own X/Y axes. +The jstest-program from joystick-1.2.15 (jstest-version 2.1.0) will report 8 +axes and 10 buttons. + +All 8 axes work, though they all have the same range (-32768..32767) +and the zero-setting is not correct for the triggers (I don't know if that +is some limitation of jstest, since the input device setup should be fine. I +didn't have a look at jstest itself yet). + +All of the 10 buttons work (in digital mode). The six buttons on the +right side (A, B, X, Y, black, white) are said to be "analog" and +report their values as 8 bit unsigned, not sure what this is good for. + +I tested the controller with quake3, and configuration and +in game functionality were OK. However, I find it rather difficult to +play first person shooters with a pad. Your mileage may vary. + + +0.2 Xbox Dance Pads +------------------- +When using a known dance pad, jstest will report 6 axes and 14 buttons. + +For dance style pads (like the redoctane pad) several changes +have been made. The old driver would map the d-pad to axes, resulting +in the driver being unable to report when the user was pressing both +left+right or up+down, making DDR style games unplayable. + +Known dance pads automatically map the d-pad to buttons and will work +correctly out of the box. + +If your dance pad is recognized by the driver but is using axes instead +of buttons, see section 0.3 - Unknown Controllers + +I've tested this with Stepmania, and it works quite well. + + +0.3 Unknown Controllers +---------------------- +If you have an unknown xbox controller, it should work just fine with +the default settings. + +HOWEVER if you have an unknown dance pad not listed below, it will not +work UNLESS you set "dpad_to_buttons" to 1 in the module configuration. + +PLEASE, if you have an unknown controller, email Dom with +a dump from /proc/bus/usb and a description of the pad (manufacturer, country, +whether it is a dance pad or normal controller) so that we can add your pad +to the list of supported devices, ensuring that it will work out of the +box in the future. + + +1. USB adapters +-------------- +All generations of Xbox controllers speak USB over the wire. +- Original Xbox controllers use a proprietary connector and require adapters. +- Wireless Xbox 360 controllers require a 'Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver + for Windows' +- Wired Xbox 360 controllers use standard USB connectors. +- Xbox One controllers can be wireless but speak Wi-Fi Direct and are not + yet supported. +- Xbox One controllers can be wired and use standard Micro-USB connectors. + + + +1.1 Original Xbox USB adapters +-------------- +Using this driver with an Original Xbox controller requires an +adapter cable to break out the proprietary connector's pins to USB. +You can buy these online fairly cheap, or build your own. + +Such a cable is pretty easy to build. The Controller itself is a USB +compound device (a hub with three ports for two expansion slots and +the controller device) with the only difference in a nonstandard connector +(5 pins vs. 4 on standard USB 1.0 connectors). + +You just need to solder a USB connector onto the cable and keep the +yellow wire unconnected. The other pins have the same order on both +connectors so there is no magic to it. Detailed info on these matters +can be found on the net ([1], [2], [3]). + +Thanks to the trip splitter found on the cable you don't even need to cut the +original one. You can buy an extension cable and cut that instead. That way, +you can still use the controller with your X-Box, if you have one ;) + + + +2. Driver Installation +---------------------- + +Once you have the adapter cable, if needed, and the controller connected +the xpad module should be auto loaded. To confirm you can cat +/proc/bus/usb/devices. There should be an entry like the one at the end [4]. + + + +3. Supported Controllers +------------------------ +For a full list of supported controllers and associated vendor and product +IDs see the xpad_device[] array[6]. + +As of the historic version 0.0.6 (2006-10-10) the following devices +were supported: + original Microsoft XBOX controller (US), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0202 + smaller Microsoft XBOX controller (US), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0289 + original Microsoft XBOX controller (Japan), vendor=0x045e, product=0x0285 + InterAct PowerPad Pro (Germany), vendor=0x05fd, product=0x107a + RedOctane Xbox Dance Pad (US), vendor=0x0c12, product=0x8809 + +Unrecognized models of Xbox controllers should function as Generic +Xbox controllers. Unrecognized Dance Pad controllers require setting +the module option 'dpad_to_buttons'. + +If you have an unrecognized controller please see 0.3 - Unknown Controllers + + +4. Manual Testing +----------------- +To test this driver's functionality you may use 'jstest'. + +For example: +> modprobe xpad +> modprobe joydev +> jstest /dev/js0 + +If you're using a normal controller, there should be a single line showing +18 inputs (8 axes, 10 buttons), and its values should change if you move +the sticks and push the buttons. If you're using a dance pad, it should +show 20 inputs (6 axes, 14 buttons). + +It works? Voila, you're done ;) + + + +5. Thanks +--------- + +I have to thank ITO Takayuki for the detailed info on his site + http://euc.jp/periphs/xbox-controller.ja.html. + +His useful info and both the usb-skeleton as well as the iforce input driver +(Greg Kroah-Hartmann; Vojtech Pavlik) helped a lot in rapid prototyping +the basic functionality. + + + +6.
