To: Yocto Project
I need to include the kernel driver for the Turbosight TBS6285 DVB card in an image.
The official bundle at http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v140707.zip includes the drivers and a load of other "stuff" (e.g. a full V4L build).
LinuxTV.org have the drivers extracted into a .tar.bz2 at (e.g.) http://linuxtv.org/downloads/drivers/linux-media-LATEST.tar.bz2, so I plan to use this as the download source.
So far I have a recipe which downloads from this URL and extracts the files into the work area and ${WORKAREA}/drivers/media includes a Makefile and Kconfig.
I've looked at the Yocto documentation, but this doesn't seem to be a good match for the "Out of tree" kernel module case.
How should I proceed from here? Is there another driver I can use as a starting point?

Hmm. At a glance, I'd say that it does sound like a typical out of tree module build. Did you try adopting the meta-skeleton hello-mod recipe and point it at that source directory ?

I have now (with the above change). However, it looks as if something within the build is referencing the host file system when building. I'm building for ValleyIsland 32-bit: 1) If I configure the drivers for 32-bit there is a linker error complaining that elf 32 and elf 64 aren't compatible (host is 64 bit); 2) Everything appears to build if I target 64-bit, but the installer tries to modify /lib/modules/3.2.0-67/..., which is also part of the host. Looks like I need a patch ;-) Any pointers to where I should be looking would be appreciated as this isn't my normal area... -- Chris Tapp opensource@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Definite host contamination there.

In this case, you really need to replace (or patch) the existing Makefile that comes with the package. The hello-mod example I pointed out has makefile that shows the right definitions to allow the kernel's build system to enter the directory, build and install the modules.

I've made some good progress, but still not quite there. I've got a do_compile() that basically does: make DIR=${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR} The appears to build the modules correctly - testing will tell ;-) I've then got similar in do_install(): make DIR=${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR} DESTDIR=${D} That's 99% there - the modules get put in image/lib/modules/3.10.40-ltsi/... They should be in image/lib/modules/3.10.40-ltsi-yocto-standard/... - not sure yet how to fix this one. There is also a packaging QA issue causing a build failure (some files aren't used), but an INSANE_SKIP installed-vs-shipped fixes that one for now. -- Chris Tapp opensource@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

In do_configure() I just needed to: make release DIR=${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR} This creates a .release file to set the version used by the build, based on the top-level makefile of the kernel. That doesn't quite get there though, as this sets KERNELRELEASE in the .release file to 3.10.40-ltsi - this allows do_compile() to run ok, but do_install() then uses 3.10.40-ltsi within the install path, putting the modules in the wrong location. Luckily, 'sed' can be used in do_configure() (after the 'make') to change KERNELRELEASE to the content of kernel-abiversion, which then means do_install() writes to the correct location, the compile still works and there's no '1' missing (so no need to work out why!) ;-) Thanks for all your time and useful pointers :-) Just need to put this somewhere public in case anyone else needs it. > Cheers, > > Bruce > >>> >>> Bruce >>> >>>> There is also a packaging QA issue causing a build failure (some files aren't used), but an INSANE_SKIP installed-vs-shipped fixes that one for now. >>>> -- Chris Tapp opensource@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
