'''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 [http://www.raspberrypi.org/ the Raspberry Pi] is one of them!
== Tested setup ==
* Raspberry Pi: model B, 256MB
* Distro: [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads Raspbian Jessie] (2015-09-24)
* '''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 plugged on the USB hub

== Firmware update ==
As early firmwares had severe USB issues it is recommended to update the firmware before using GIMX. 
Updating the firmware may also be useful if you plan to use a Logitech force feedback wheel (the uhid kernel module was missing in earlier firmwares). 
Type the following command:
<pre>sudo rpi-update</pre>
And don't forget to reboot:
<pre>sudo reboot</pre>
Tested Rpi firmware:
<pre>pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.9+ #819 PREEMPT Thu Oct 1 20:31:26 BST 2015 armv6l
GNU/Linux</pre>



== GIMX installation ==
<pre>sudo apt-get install gdebi
wget http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian -O gimx.deb
sudo gdebi gimx.deb</pre>

If you get a "Dependency is not satisfiable: ..." error message, upgrade Raspbian:
<pre>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</pre>

== Stop/disable triggerhappy service ==
[https://github.com/wertarbyte/triggerhappy/blob/master/README 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 ==
Read the [[Quick_Start|Quick start page]] to learn how to run GIMX through the GUI. 
A good idea is to run GIMX directly from a terminal, without starting a graphical session. 
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 [[Command_line|this page]]. 
=== Bluetooth ===
In a terminal:
gimx -t Sixaxis -c <config file> -b <PS3 bdaddr>
The dongle address has to be changed before running the above commands.

=== DIY USB adapter ===
In a terminal:
gimx -c <config file> -p /dev/<ttyUSB port>

=== Without DIY USB adapter (RU) ===

====Подготовка RPi====

Нам подойдет любая из моделей RPi:
Raspberry Pi A+
Raspberry Pi B
Raspberry Pi B+
Raspberry Pi 2
Raspberry Pi Zero

По умолчанию RPi отправляет отладочные сообщения на последовательный порт.
Что бы использовать последовательный порт для своих нужд необходимо выполнить команду в терминале:
<pre>
sudo raspi-config
</pre>
Откроется gрограмма конфигурации
Выберем пункт:
<pre>
"Advanced Options" затем выберем "Serial" затем "No" затем "Finish"
</pre>
Но этого не достаточно. По умолчанию частота последовательного порта 3 MHz поднимем её до 8 MHz.
Выполним команду в терминале:
<pre>
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
</pre>
Добавим строку (если она существует просто поправте ее значение)
<pre>
init_uart_clock=8000000
</pre>
Установим GIMX для этого выполним последовательно команды в терминале:
<pre>
sudo apt-get install gdebi
wget http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian -O gimx.deb
sudo gdebi gimx.deb
sudo service triggerhappy stop
sudo update-rc.d triggerhappy disable
sudo reboot
</pre>
После того как перезагрузится RPi (если она загрузится не в X) выполним команду в терминале:
<pre>
startx
</pre>
И сделаем ссылку на AMA0
<pre>
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAMA0 /dev/ttyUSB0
</pre>

==== Подготовка Teensy ====

Нам подойдут
Teensy 2.0
Teensy++ 2.0

Следуя инструкции
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/3volt.html
Припаяем MCP1825S-3302E/DB
Это даст нам напряжение на последовательном порту безопасное для RPi

Скачаем нужную нам прошивку
[http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-firmwares Firmwares]
Прошьем её с помощью [http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html Teensy Loader].
