The package is automatically downloaded and extracted during the build process due to Microsoft's Terms of Use, which strictly disallow the distribution of the firmware.īy using xow, you accept Microsoft's license terms for their driver package. The firmware is included with the Xbox - Net - 12:00:00 AM - 1.0.46.1 driver available from Microsoft Update Catalog. The Xbox One wireless dongle requires a proprietary firmware to operate. The input mapping is based on existing kernel drivers like xpad. It communicates with the dongle via libusb and provides joystick input through the uinput kernel module. Xow is a Linux user mode driver for the Xbox One wireless dongle. If you would like to give it a try you can head over to the Discord server. It has audio functionality, battery reporting and support for the chatpad. It is currently USB-only and support for the wireless dongle will be added later on. I have been working on a new kernel driver for the last couple of months and it already works pretty well. While it certainly proved a point it also demonstrated how quickly you reach the boundaries of integration with other parts of the operating system (audio, battery reporting, etc.). I thought about the numerous feature requests and long-standing bugs and finally decided to abandon the concept of a user mode driver. This is partly due to the lack of free time for me as a university student. I realize there have not been any substantial changes to xow in over a year now.
