Solved 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 disconnects instantly

B

bsdcode

Recently I purchased the SN30 Pro Bluetooth gamepad from 8BitDo. Because the bluetooth support by FreeBSD is rather lackluster (and my desktop doesn't have bluetooth) I also bought the USB Wireless Adapter 2 from 8BitDo, so the gamepad could do its bluetooth stuff with the dongle and FreeBSD just handles it as an USB gamepad device. Upon plugging the adapter into the system it gets seen as gamepad and hgame(4) actually picks it up, but it gets disconnected multiple times. This is the corresponding dmesg(8) output:

At the end the adapter is recognized as "8BitDo IDLE" and not as a gamepad, hgame(4) gets detached multiple times.
Any ideas to diagnose and fix this?
 
Solved it! I updated the firmware of both devices to the latest version. Now it works. When you activate the gamepad and pair it with the adapter, the device changes from "8BitDo IDLE" to "8BitDo 8BitDo Receiver" and hgame(4) attaches to it:
