Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. I try to stick in openembedded recipes also with kernel because I am moving from "ad-hoc" = everything manually environment to formal openembedded environment. True is that they need modification if platform changes. However, all the dependencies should be taken care of by the recipes. Also all the image building tasks should go smoothly - that is what I think...
I tried to run the kernel module makefile manually as you suggested. Original makefile (for much older kernel) did not work only with updating variables. Rules did not work. After modifications to more close match to makefile presented in http://www.kunen.org/uC/beagle/kmodule-test.tar.gz started make procedure. However, still the compilation did not work correctly. I quess, this toolchain is somehow corrupted now. I'll try re-building it. thanks, Matti 2011/8/21 Paul Parsons <lost.dista...@yahoo.com>: > Hi Matti, > > Not sure how useful this will be, but anyway... > > When I started to build custom kernels for my Angstrom hx4700 distribution I > very quickly decided that it would be easier to build them by hand, directly > from the command line. > > So why not do the same?
