Feb 15 18:49:20 <Blubbmon> hi, can someone tell me how to integrate my own kernel module a debianslug image? i don't want to compile the module natively on the nslu2, but put it inside the nslu2 internal flash.
Feb 15 18:50:27 <NAiL> Blubbmon: If you are using the MasterMakefile, you just change the defconfig in popenembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/<kernel-rev>/
Feb 15 18:50:43 <NAiL> s/popen/open/
Feb 15 18:50:43 <jbot> NAiL meant: Blubbmon: If you are using the MasterMakefile, you just change the defconfig in openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/<kernel-rev>/
Feb 15 18:50:58 <NAiL> and recompiled ixp4xx-kernel afterwards
Feb 15 18:51:31 <EvilDevil> Blubbmon which module do you need?
Feb 15 18:52:22 <Blubbmon> i see. this means that i have to put my own module into the original kernel tree and adjust the kernels makefile?
Feb 15 18:52:30 <Blubbmon> EvilDevil: am_usb
Feb 15 18:54:01 <NAiL> Blubbmon: You've written a kmod?
Feb 15 18:54:15 <NAiL> aha... you said so
Feb 15 18:54:55 <NAiL> Then you might want to look at examples of building kernel modules in openembedded
Feb 15 18:55:09 <NAiL> like zd1211 ;)
Feb 15 18:56:14 <Blubbmon> NAiL: this is not written by my own. i just want to integrate it :)
Feb 15 18:56:36 <EvilDevil> i need to get that device, but my sisters husband is always at work when i want to grab it
Feb 15 18:56:56 <NAiL> ok. There are several kernel module examples in the OE tree
Feb 15 18:57:16 <VoodooZ> pwc is one such example.
Feb 15 18:57:29 <NAiL> grep -R "^inherit.*module" openembedded/packages 
Feb 15 18:57:58 <EvilDevil> Blubbmon is this module in the kernel tree, but it doesn't get built by make debianslug-image?
Feb 15 18:58:34 <Blubbmon> thanks a lot. i'll have a look :)
Feb 15 18:59:19 <Blubbmon> EvilDevil: currently, it's not in the tree.
Feb 15 18:59:51 <EvilDevil> Blubbmon that's gonna make it more difficult 
Feb 15 19:00:15 <EvilDevil> but you didn't want it to be easy, don't you? ;-)
Feb 15 19:02:15 <Blubbmon> EvilDevil: exactly ;)
Feb 15 19:50:13 <Blubbmon> do i have to register new packages before putting them into openembedded/packages/*/ ?
Feb 15 19:51:07 <Blubbmon> i get the following: "ERROR: Nothing provides runtime dependency openembedded/packages/am_usb/*.bb"
Feb 15 19:52:19 <VoodooZ> you might have to add the package name to the package list file. openslug-packages.conf for openslug.
Feb 15 19:54:58 <Blubbmon> VoodooZ: i already did that. nonetheless "make debianslug-image" did not tried to build the new package until i added it to slugos.conf -> SLUGOS_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += "${PKGDIR}/packages/am_usb/*.bb"
Feb 15 19:59:31 <VoodooZ> true.
Feb 15 20:06:23 <Blubbmon> i changed SLUGOS_EXTRA_RDEPENDS to "am_usb" and added PROVIDES="am_usb" to the appropriate am_usb-*.bb file ... still the same error msg
Feb 15 20:22:45 <VoodooZ> And you added that package to slugos-packages.conf?
Feb 15 20:22:53 <VoodooZ> I'm not sure as I don't use debianslug.
Feb 15 20:24:21 <Blubbmon> yes, already added
Feb 15 20:24:46 <VoodooZ> no idea then.
Feb 15 20:25:15 <EvilDevil> Blubbmon did you try to build the package manually?
Feb 15 20:25:20 <EvilDevil> cd debianslug
Feb 15 20:25:28 <EvilDevil> then  . ./setup-env
Feb 15 20:25:46 <EvilDevil> bb -b openembedded/am_usb/am_usb.bb
Feb 15 20:26:21 <EvilDevil> oops... openembedded/packages/am_usb
Feb 15 20:26:47 <eFfeM> back, system hung just before I had to go
Feb 15 20:28:01 <Blubbmon> EvilDevil: hmm .. the bb file needs to be fixed (:
Feb 15 20:36:09 <EvilDevil> what does bb say?
Feb 15 20:40:23 <Blubbmon> i get a compile error. a struct in the kernels usb definition may be changed
Feb 15 20:41:25 <EvilDevil> that's bad. looks like your module needs to be patched
Feb 15 20:43:17 <Blubbmon> yeah, 2.6.15.1 had a "mode" parameter in "usb_class_driver", but 2.6.15.2 does not. this means that they removed devfs completely ;-)
Feb 15 20:43:53 <NAiL> finally ;)
Feb 15 20:48:41 <Blubbmon> finally i just decided to build the module natively afterwards via mounting the kernel source over nfs :o)
Feb 15 20:48:51 <Blubbmon> thanks for all your help!
Feb 15 20:53:21 <EvilDevil> np
