Building Kernel Modules for the Omega2



  • @Oximoron Thanks! That's weird, but should be fine too. If you cloned https://github.com/OnionIoT/source you should have that file. Anyways, I think I saw the update process etc. only pulling info from feeds.conf. I said to modify both files just to be certain you don't do an accidental upgrade and upgrade to a higher kernel. For the modules to work you should use that toolchain and kernel version. I experienced problems when compiling for a higher version kernel and running it on an older one.



  • @Maximilian-Gerhardt you sorta out did even yourself with this post šŸ™‚
    thank you. it will be very helpful.



  • @Maximilian-Gerhardt Awesome! Thank you so much for putting this together!



  • @Maximilian-Gerhardt Outstanding work!



  • Great series, and great tutorial!

    I am trying speed up make by just compiling the hello-world module, using the command:

    make package/hello-world/compile -j4

    However, I get the following error (when running with "-j1 V=s" for additional output):

    make[1]: Entering directory '/root/source'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'package/hello-world/compile'. Stop.

    I have successfully done a full build and installed this module on my Omega2+, but I am stuck at this point.

    Thanks again for all the great work!



  • @Jackson-Wilson Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately I cannot reproduce that.

    My full build log with -j1 V=s, when the package was previously compiled:

    max@max-VirtualBox:~/source$ make package/hello-world/compile -j1 V=s
    make[1]: Entering directory '/home/max/source'
    make[2]: Entering directory '/home/max/omega2_kmods/hello-world'
    if [ -f /home/max/source/staging_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl-1.1.16/pkginfo/hello-world.default.install.clean ]; then rm -f /home/max/source/staging_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl-1.1.16/pkginfo/hello-world.default.install /home/max/source/staging_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl-1.1.16/pkginfo/hello-world.default.install.clean; fi
    make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/max/omega2_kmods/hello-world'
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/max/source'
    

    And I execute make package/hello-world/clean and then compile (with code from the "Read Hardware Register" Section):

    max@max-VirtualBox:~/source$ make package/hello-world/compile -j1 V=s

    Could it be that you set-up the paths the wrong way (src-link)? Are you executing the command from the from the right path (top-level in source)? Very weird that normal make -j4 works but this doesn't.. Any differences to the OnionIoT's source repository setup or the package folder structure here? What does make package/hello-world/prepare -j1 V=s do?



  • @Jackson-Wilson

    I found the issue. The following command works:

    make omega2_kmods/hello_world -j4

    However, when I make a change to the source file, and try to re-build, make says the package is "up to date."

    Maybe someone more savvy with the innards of the build system can tell me how to get a quick re-build of this package as I make changes along with this guide.

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    I suspect the src-link, since I get different output when I issue make package/hello-world/compile -j1 V=s:

    root@1fbc8ce194c0:~/source# make package/hello-world/clean -j1 V=s
    make[1]: Entering directory '/root/source'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'package/hello-world/clean'. Stop.

    My added line to feeds.conf is:

    src-link omega2_kmods /root/source/omega2_kmods

    I'll mess around with this for a bit...



  • Good that you figured out another way. The only difference I see is that I placed my omega2_kmods folder outside of source in some other directory (/home/max/).



  • Well, my work-around doesn't allow me to clean and rebuild this single package, so I'm still struggling to get this to work. I have tried to replicate the structure you describe in this guide.

    I get the same "No rule..." error for /clean and /prepare commands as well.



  • Got it! I just had to get my directories and paths right. I was rushing a bit, and things were not lined up exactly correctly. I think it builds for the entire project because the recursive make found my package on its own, but I wasn't specifying it exactly right when I tried to build it individually.

    Great fun!



  • @Maximilian-Gerhardt I believe we both Geophoenixed in the early 2000's. Thanks for the article, it helped me migrate a water heater control unit to a newer linux kernel (with MMU)
