 Hello there,
I am using Buildroot to compile the kernel for my ARM target, which is a
Beaglebone black. This part works. Now I would like to use the
crosscompiler available from the output of the buildroot in order to
compile a "Hello World" Kernel module. I have already checked a regular c
file Hello World and it crosscompiles on host and runs on the target
correctly. I am having problems with setting up the whole environment for
the kernel module development. There are many tutorials available for
kernel modules development, but they assume developing on the target/ host.
I am able to compile a native host x86 kernel module, that works.

I am still missing some dependencies when trying to crosscompile for the
Beagle, I am not sure either I need to build some further packages, but
when doing xconfig I think I checked everything related to the kernel
modules. At the moment I have the following Makefile:

obj-m	:= simp.o
KERNELDIR ?= /home/lukasz/brl/Machine/beaglebone/build/linux-headers-a75d8e93056181d512f6c818e8627bd4554aaf92
PWD       := $(shell pwd)

all: default

default:
	$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
	rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c .tmp_versions

And the example module code (simp.c):

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");

static int hello_init(void)
{
	printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello, world\n");
	return 0;
}

static void hello_exit(void)
{
	printk(KERN_ALERT "Goodbye, cruel world\n");
}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_exit);

When trying to make:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabihf-
-I/home/lukasz/brl/Machine/beaglebone/build/linux-a75d8e93056181d512f6c818e8627bd4554aaf92/include

I get the following error:

make -C /home/lukasz/brl/Machine/beaglebone/build/linux-headers-a75d8e93056181d512f6c818e8627bd4554aaf92

Which I dont understand, since included the .h file specifically. I would
appreciate all help regarding this. I was trying to find anyone else doing
something similar (trying to cross compile a kernel module on the host
using buildroot build tools), but was unable to. Most of the cases are
already to advanced or dont apply to my problem.
