Hi,
Jonas, Adam, Harish.
so I have got a printk() msg on dmesg but only doing the following :
modifying the tar in dl/ folder and deleting the build_dir directory.
make package/mac80211/{clean,compile}
Now it definitely compiles my modifications
I have written the following note to tell I am doing right things without
ambiguity as told by you all.
@Adam,
As you can see, I am modifying the
build_dir/linux-ar71xx_generic/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/
Hence I am modifying at the right place, I suppose ( as suggested by you.
# make package/mac80211/{clean,prepare} V=99 QUILT=1
# cd build_dir/linux-ar71xx_generic/compat-wireless-2011-08-10/
# quilt push -a
# quilt new my_changes.patch
# quilt edit drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/files
# quilt refresh
# cd ../../../ && make package/mac80211/update
I do a make package/mac80211/update in openwrt/src/klash
(same where update is done)
I get the patch code in the build_dir/compat-wireless/ .... /ath9k
But, I did not get the printk() message in the dmesg.
@Harish :
I am not sure how to trigger monolithic kernel, but i dont get any output of
strings ... because vmlinux does not exist
monolithic kernel ? option
strings vmlinux | grep abhinav
Note: vmlinux is not vmlinuz ..
@Jonas: i kept the patch in package/mac80211/patches/ with latest serial no.
in the list of patches
Applied make package/mac80211/{clean,compile}
This will fetch the compat source from dl/ and apply new patches.
But i did not get the printk() by this method.
I am surprized why these things are not working.
I am copying the factory.img, sometimes doing:
sysupgrade -n -v -d 30 open...-sysupgrade.bin
To copy this on router and still the code changes were not reflected while
testing the dmesg output!
Can any of you guess where am I going wrong in the above process...
As i have to write and test actual code and it will be tedious to put things
everytime in dl/ as tarball.
