Hi, Have been following https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/KernelDeploy and have built kernel as shown. I am having a few problems with deploying the resulting kernel with a file system. We would like to write a new driver for an extra ethernet interface for a card we're building based on the i.mx53 quick start board. The commands given in the guide do not work for me because I am using a system which has been flashed to the SD card. What would the procedure be in my case? Should I copy the image to the other SD card? If so, how to configure u-boot? Once my project has been debugged, how can I generate the files needed to run linaro-image-tools/linaro-media-create (hardware pack+ binary)? Thanks for your help,

Antony

Hi Antony,

For your experiments with your driver, you can always rebuild your kernel, and update the files and your module manually in the filesystem.

  • I would create and update the 'uImage' file manually ('make uImage').
  • I would also create a Debian package for my kernel with 'make deb-pkg', and install this package in the root filesystem with 'dpkg -i' (that's mainly to get the modules installed in /lib/modules).
  • I would then update the initrd file with 'mkinitramfs <version>'

Once everything is debugged, you can create your own hardware pack from your customized m.mx53 kernel package by following instructions on https://wiki.linaro.org/HardwarePacks

I hope this will be helpful!

Cheers,

Michael.
