Warning: RPi support should be considered as experimental. Be prepared to face issues if you try GIMX on the RPi.
GIMX can run on many Linux targets, and the the Raspberry Pi is one of them!
Contents
Tested setup
* Raspberry Pi: model B, 256MB * Distro: Raspbian wheezy * Self-powered USB hub: Belkin 7 ports F4U017 (self-powered = with an external power supply) * Keyboard: n25te plugged on the USB hub * Mouse: Logitech G500 plugged on the USB hub * PS3: FAT - FW 4.41
* Bluetooth dongle: Pluscom BT20 (CSR Bluecore4-rom) plugged on the USB hub * DIY USB adapter: Teensy 2.0 + CP2102
Fix for USB issues
A firmware update is required to fix USB issues (missing mouse & keyboard events - source).
Instructions:
sudo apt-get install git-core sudo wget http://goo.gl/1BOfJ -O /usr/bin/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update sudo BRANCH=fiq_split rpi-update
Tested Rpi firmware
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 3.8.12+ #438 PREEMPT Wed May 8 22:31:10 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux pi@raspberrypi ~ $ /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd version May 5 2013 13:06:56 Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcom version 388665 (release)
GIMX installation
wget http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian.html sudo dpkg -i sixemu_1.01-1_armhf.deb
Note: as of this writting, GIMX version is 1.01.
Required bluetooth tools
sudo apt-get install bluez
Stop/disable triggerhappy service
Triggerhappy is a daemon that opens every input device for reading, and that consumes a few percent of the CPU time.
It seems a good idea to stop it while running GIMX.
To stop triggerhappy:
sudo service triggerhappy stop
To disable triggerhappy:
sudo update-rc.d triggerhappy disable
Run GIMX
A good idea is to run GIMX directly from a terminal, without any desktop.
This can be done over the network, using a ssh client.
Ideally, GIMX should be launched without using the Ethernet port (because it is connected on the USB bus).
More details on command line options on this page.
Bluetooth
In a first terminal: emu <PS3 bdaddr> In a second terminal: emuclient -c <config file>
The dongle address has to be changed before running the above commands.
DIY USB adapter
In a terminal: emuclient -c <config file> -t joystick -r 4 -p /dev/<ttyUSB port>
