Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 5:24 am Post subject: BeagleBone:: Kernel.....and the modules??? |
|
|
Hi,
I followed this instructions:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml
and got a system up and running.
Unfortunately I found no instructions how to build and
and install the modules the kernel needs...
How can I do that?
Best regards,

I found the module manifests in:
Code: | hermes linux-am33x # ls -la mod*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6804 Sep 9 06:59 modules.builtin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 537 Sep 9 06:59 modules.order
hermes linux-am33x #
|
I'm guessing here: the modules.builtins lists those included in the uImage. The modules.order are those that would need to be copied over to the file system, though I do not know where as I always rely on the make scripts provided by Gentoo to place them where they should be. I'm seeing on my cross compiler box, hermes, top level directories of /lib32 and /lib64, with the /lib64 having underneath as follows: Code: | /lib64/modules/2.6.39.1/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/sermouse.ko
/lib64/modules/2.6.39.1/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.ko
/lib64/modules/2.6.39.1/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/fm801-gp.ko
/lib64/modules/2.6.39.1/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/emu10k1-gp.ko
|
My Beaglebone has a top level directory: /lib; however, there is no immediate subdirectory "modules". I'm guessing that a subdirectory "modules" is only created by the a make script that installs modules.
Why not try compiling the modules you need and then for one's you would be using and can test, copy them over to /lib/modules...
Don't forget to post your results here so others, including myself, might learn from your attempt.
I don't have a particular modules at this time that I need and could therefore test if the above approach works. |

Hi,
unfortunately "make modules_install" tries to install the modules
on the host system.
But following the instructions which are displayed via "make help"
one can steer the place, where all things get installed. May current
"solution" is the following script:
[code]#! /bin/sh
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=MODULES
export INSTALL_FW_PATH=FIRMWARE
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi- am335x_evm_defconfig
make -j1 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi- uImage modules modules_install firmware_install[/code]
which installs the stuff under the directory ./MODULES and ./FIRMWARE
but the as it turns out, everything gets installed under MODULES, which
is as fine as a seperated installation, as a simple (as root)
cp- av ./MODULES/* ./where/the/rootfs/is/.
works.
HTH!
Best regards.
