Hi!
Thanks for the reply, Russel and David.
Now we have tried to build the module in the kernel, and also changed the header
files, but something still goes wrong.
What we have done is:
Directory arm-linux/linux/drivers/char/
- the module is compiled and situated at this location
- Config.in added:
tristate �test driver� CONFIG_TEST
- Makefile added:
ifdef CONFIG_TEST
O_OBJS+=test.o
endif
after build kernel, make modules, and make modules_install the module should be
situated in /lib/modules/2.4.0-test11-rmk1-arm4 ... but that is where it goes wrong,
the module does not show up.
Thoughts; We might have missed some step when including the module into the kernel? We
might be using the wrong major number on the integrator?
Best regards Lena

Subject: Re: file_operations within the ARM9 integrator + linux
Lena(s),
it sounds like a cross-compilation problem. I do exactly this all the
time. I suggest that you build both the kernel and modules in place
(that is, build
the module in the kernel sources using it's include files and so on).
