Hi team
The other day I enable a module ( USB WEB CAM ) in my
core-image-minimal-xfce but I could find the module once it booted
until someone really kind toll me that you need to add the kernel
modules:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-modules"
Is not the expected that if you do bitbake menuconfig then enable the
module you want save it .. the module be there .. I mean thats the
reason why you did the menuconfig right ?
Is this an expected behaivor for Yocto ?
Enabling the module(s) via menuconfig and what gets installed in
your image are separate. Just because you've built the modules
does not imply that they should be installed. Indeed, using
the 'kernel-modules' package is telling bitbake that you want
all possible modules installed in your image. Often this is
not needed nor desirable and only a [limited] set of kernel
modules will be installed.
So, yes, this is the expected behaviour.
