You most likely don't want to compile the module yourself. I understood from previous messages that Charles has a module that is compatible with his Xenomai kernel. If he sends you the binary module you can use that one. Then there's no need to compile a new kernel or modules. Another thought pops up: Have you verified that the proper overlay is loaded? Read http://forum.bebopr.info/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10, maybe your problem is that you've loaded the default overlay instead of Charles' one. > > Which module should I load? (precompiled one) and how should I do that. The kernel module file (with .ko extension) is loaded with insmod. Google for "Linux loadable kernel modules". This is documented extensively. > I'm extending my knowledge as we type. > after enabling this module, what do I need to do more? I'd like to > understand what I'm doing. You're extending the Linux kernel without re-compiling the entire kernel. The binary module is run-time loaded and linked to the kernel. Once this is done you'll have to configure the kernel properly with a device tree overlay. But first check whether you've loaded the proper overlay as I wrote above. -- Bas > > Bas de B. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
