According to recent reports,Ā Sony released a new “hid-PlayStation” Linux kernel driver that supports the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. This driver also supports other PlayStation hardware on Linux. Furthermore, the new Linux kernel driver supports the DualSense controller in both USB and Bluetooth modes. It also supportsĀ motion sensors, LED lights, touchpads, light bars, vibration, etc.
When announcing the new driver, Sony plans to transfer part of the Sony Interactive Entertainment hardware support from the existing “hid-sony” to the “hid-PlayStation” driver. The initial form of this driver has more than 1,400 lines of code to meet the needs of the PS5 controller.
The Sony PlayStation 5 uses a custom AMD 8 core 3.5GHz Zen 2 CPU, a custom RDNA 2 GPU containing 36 sets of CU units, a floating-point computing capability of 10.28 TFLOPs, a 16GB GDDR6 memory, a custom 825GB SSD, and a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive.
