Getting to work generic gamepad on ATV1200

[pdapalma 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to use my generic 'Playstation Dualshock' imitation gamepad to play games/emulators on my ATV1200, with no luck.

Simply pluging it on my tv box, brings up almost nothing on dmesg:

<6>[ 3309.098526@0] usb 1-1.4: new low speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg

No new joystick input entry is shown when listing input devices (js0 is always shown no matter the gamepad or any other USB input is unplugged)

u0_a45@android:/ # ls -l /dev/input/js*                                        
crwxrwxrwx system   system    13,   0 2015-04-04 14:50 js0

No new device shows up on 'Language & Input' config menu either.

Seems like no proper module is included on kernel to handle this device.

While on the other hand, on my linux PC it's recognized as follows:

[49145.472855] usb 3-1: new low-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd

Gamepad's USB device seems to be 'DragonRise game controller VID_0079:PID_0006', and specific modules needed so far are hid-dr.ko and ff-memless.ko.

My ATV1200 tv box is updated to 4.2.2.

I've tried compiling these modules by myself according to following kernel information, but no luck either:

u0_a45@android:/ # uname -a
Linux localhost 3.0.50-g2b340ab 14153b2-2b340ab(20140331.105807) armv7l GNU/Linux
u0_a45@android:/ # cat /proc/version                                           
Linux version 3.0.50-g2b340ab (clei@ubt124) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-202) ) 14153b2-2b340ab(20140331.105807)

Is possible that MyGica provides a kernel patch image including these modules (and may be other useful ones)??

Or maybe a procedure to succesfully compile and insmod these modules at my own risk?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pablo.
