Hi guys, Does anyone know how to build the kernel module for ppp for Gumstix VerdexPro? I just want the module, I don't want to compile it into the kernel..... I'm sure this is a simple one but I am banging my head against the wall atm. Regards, Elliot. |

I have inched forward on this, just.... I have worked out that to add the kernel module I need to modify the custom image to include the kernel module in conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf, by editing the parameter MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS. I guessed at the name "kernel-module-ppp", but this doesn't seem right as the module is not produced after re-running the base task, packaging and image builds. Where are the names of these modules defined? Is there a simple list somewhere? Regards, Elliot. From: Elliot Mackenzie [mailto:ma...@ad...] Sent: 29 March 2010 22:48 To: gum...@li...

Hi Elliot, It seems like it is necessary to have the appropriate kernel options set (http://old.nabble.com/Which-bitbake-recipes-manage-the-kernel-modules--td16734123.html) in order for a particular 'kernel-module-xxxxx' to work. It actually looks like the default configuration for the verdex kernel does include PPP (though not PPPOE) so this should be fine. I think the name might be 'kernel-module-ppp-generic'. Interestingly, task-base.bb looks at the DISTRO_FEATURES variable ( ${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'ppp', 'task-base-ppp', '',d)} ) to determine whether to include PPP. This is set by the Angstrom distro config. file in /conf/distro/include/Angstrom.inc. The 'task-base-gumstix.bb' recipe doesn't pull in this option but look at task-base.bb as a reference. -Ash On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 12:14 AM, Elliot Mackenzie <ma...@ad...> wrote: > I have inched forward on this, just….
