Subject: Simple approach to write PS3/PS4 usermode driver?
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2016 20:29:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56C2270E.9080603@m-reimer.de> (raw)
Hello,
now I've been trying several things, but maybe I missed something.
- If I just blacklist "hid-sony", then everything is dead. No bluetooth
binding, no "/dev/hidrawX".
- After some searching, I found out that the core reason for this is a
"hid_have_special_driver" list in hid-core.c which contains the PS3/PS4
controller.
- So I thought: Maybe I can keep "hid-sony" to keep "/dev/hidrawX" and
somehow detach the generated eventX and jsX devices. I've been searching
/sys for about half an hour but I didn't find any way to do this. Maybe
impossible?
I know that libusb may be an option, but this way I also give up easy
bluetooth binding. Especially the PS4 gamepad is easy to bind. If the
resulting bluetooth device wouldn't be blacklisted in hid-core.c.
Maybe someone can give me a hint. Is there any easy way to get the HID
to input device translation process ported into usermode without giving
up all the things that work automatically if hid-sony is active?
Thank you very much for any information.
Best regards,
Manuel
