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!

Tested setup
* Raspberry Pi: model B, 256MB * Distro: 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:
sudo rpi-update
And don't forget to reboot:
sudo reboot
Tested Rpi firmware:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.1.9+ #819 PREEMPT Thu Oct 1 20:31:26 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
GIMX installation
sudo apt-get install gdebi wget http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian -O gimx.deb sudo gdebi gimx.deb
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
Read the 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 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>
