logitech-f710-module

Support for the Logitech F710 game controller on NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kits. This enables the Logitech F710 to operate in Direct Input mode (selector D on the back of the controller).

JetPack 6 Note:
Starting with JetPack 6, the Logitech F710 support must be built directly into the kernel ( LOGITECH_FF must be enabled as a built-in feature). This means the module ( hid-logitech.ko ) cannot be installed as a separate external module as with previous releases.

A new JetPack6 directory in this repository contains instructions for installing the full kernel Image with built-in F710 support where available.

---

Overview

This repository provides:

• Prebuilt hid-logitech.ko modules for earlier JetPack versions
• Scripts to build the module from kernel sources
• JetPack 6 support via full kernel replacement

---

install-module (JetPack 5 and earlier)

To install the provided hid-logitech.ko module:

$ ./install-module.sh

After installation, cold boot the Jetson device.

---

build-module (JetPack 5 and earlier)

This script outlines how to build the Logitech kernel module. It expects kernel sources in /usr/src .

# For Kernel 5.x (Ubuntu 20+), install dependencies:
$ sudo apt install libssl-dev

# Then build:
$ ./build-module.sh

This script enables the LOGITECH_FF option and builds the module.

After the build, the module will be located in the source tree.
Example for kernel 4.9:
/usr/src/kernel/kernel-4.9/drivers/hid/hid-logitech.ko

---

JetPack 6 Instructions

As of JetPack 6, external modules are no longer supported for this use case.
You must install the kernel Image with Logitech support built-in.

Please see the jetpack-6/ directory in this repository for full instructions.

---

Testing

After installation, test the controller with:

$ sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk
# The Logitech F710 typically appears at /dev/input/js0
$ jstest /dev/input/js0

---

Notes

To build from source, you’ll need to download and extract the BSP source for your Jetson model. This repository contains convenience scripts to help with setup.
