Game Input MultipleXer

Quick question. is ver. 4.1.21+ #873 still the correct firmware to use, even with gimx 6.9?

Reason why is my G27 would randomly stop functioning (same issues many users have reported: unresponsive, no FFB, blinking light) and it started happening more frequently. I went to update gimx and RPi firmware, but I'm getting errors. Every time I go to sudo apt-get -f install, it wants to remove gimx 6.9.

I've just reformatted my SD card to start from scratch, but was wondering if there was a newer firmware 6.9 has been tested with, as 4.1.21 is 1 yr old+.

Cheers,

4.1.21+ #873 is the last version I was able to use without seeing any issue on my RPi setup, which was based on a RPi 2 model B.

Maybe apt-get wants to upgrade to Raspbian Stretch. In this case you can try the gimx_6.9-1_armhf_stretch.deb package.

Finally managed to get everything working again. I did still have Jessie, however I decided to upgrade to stretch and try the file you mentioned, because why not? In the end, everything has been reinstalled fresh, everything fully updated, including the kernel (4.9.41).

Still have the same problem as in the beginning though. Wheel randomly hangs, sometimes 10 minutes in, sometimes 60.

Here is the log:

Tempted to downgrade kernel, but I feel messing around is what made it stop functioning at all in the first place.

I think the RPi kernel is to blame here. There are lots of entries in the issue tracker that are related to USB issues.
For example this one: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2197

sorry to bump this old post but im getting the same error. The Firmware im using is 8.0 and GIMX 8.0 ARMv6
