Logitech G29 wheel & Pedal not working

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

Hello,
I’m trying to use a Logitech G29 driving force racing wheel with the Jetson Nano on the USB port.
The G29 is recognized by lsusb, and then input device is created. (/dev/input/js0)
However, G29’s Wheel and Pedal is not working on jstest-gtk. Button only is working.

My PC was same problem, too. OS is ubuntu 18.04
I solved as follows on PC.
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

I can’t solve in the above method on Jetson Nano.
How can I solve it on Jetson Nano? <<-- Solved

I downloaded L4T Sources and reinstalled device driver.
Is there a case that device driver does not operate normally in the initial state of SD Card Image?

Some controllers require a custom driver. If you run “lsusb”, and get the ID of any device which doesn’t work, you can then do a verbose listing of that device and post the content here. The content should help narrow down if it is just a missing driver. Your ID will differ, but will look something like “0955:7020”. The verbose query would be like this (substitute the actual ID):

sudo lsusb -d 0955:7020 -vvv

Note that if you hover your mouse over the quote icon in the upper right corner of one of your existing posts, then other icons will show up. The paper clip icon is for attaching files (or you could just paste it in as code).

The lsusb message is shown below.
Only Buttons works, Wheel and Pedal do not.

According to this the device is recognized as a standard human interface device. Drivers should be able to handle this. There is a twist on the story though when it comes to force feedback: Other user space software may be required in order to utilize this. Buttons are simple and always have HID drivers and software, so those are never a problem. I don’t have one of these, but if you can find out what software a desktop Linux PC uses in order to interact with the force feedback side, then installing this on the Nano will probably do the job.

Excuse me，has the problem been solved？I had the same problem

I solved by reinstalling the device driver.
You can download L4T Jetson Driver Package.
