Hello, I was wondering what the modules for i2c are named. I cannot find anything in menuconfig or at the svn repository. I tried building the current 2.6.17 kernel, Rev 1036 with the linux.config file changes as the Wiki and past emails suggest (for past kernels), but the module never shows up. Command "modprobe" always spits out "module not found". I'm thinking of switching to 2.6.15 because it seems to have worked for others. If I do, what Revision should I use? Thanks, Jake |

Command "modprobe" always spits out "module not found". I've been negligent (i.e. I haven't tried this out yet). To enable i2c support in the kernel, you need to: cd build_arm_nofpu/linux-2.6.17gum make ARCH=arm menuconfig go into "Device Drivers --->" go into "I2C Support --->" Set I2C Support to M Set I2C Device Interface to M Go into "I2C Hardware Bus Support --->" Set Intel PXA2XX I2C adapter to M Exit saving your configuration. Goto gumstix-buildroot and do "make" To double check that the modules got build, check the build_arm_nofpu/root/lib/modules/2.6.17gum/kernel/drivers/i2c/ directory and you should see i2c-core.ko and i2c-dev.ko and in the busses directory you should see i2c-pxa.ko -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I hadn't realized that there are different config files, I was in the gumstix-buildroot menuconfig before. Thanks for straighting me out. Next I'll see how it behaves onboard the gumstix. Thanks again, Jake |

To be honest, despite having worked with Linux for over ten years now, I did the same thing the first time. The current Wiki pages on this don't do a great job distinguishing between the two menuconfigs. We'll fix that. :-) -Cliff L. Biffle |

We'll fix that. :-) I think it's historical. When we were using the 2.6.11 kernel, there was only one menuconfig, the kernel's menuconfig. Now there are 4. There is a menuconfig for the kernel, for uClibc, for busybox, and for buildroot. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

But now that I'm getting familiar with it, it feels like I'm chasing my own tail, only the poor thing gets farther and farther away each time I nip a little bit off :) On a side note, I run 64bit windows on this desktop and, just recently, added Ubuntu to my laptop and now dual boot it with the old 32bit Windows. Because 64bit Windows is largely unsupported, I have to switch over to windows on my laptop to do things required by 32bit. I'm about ready to put Ubuntu on my desktop and only turn on the laptop when I'm required to use Windows ;) Jake |

If you have that computing horsepower go for VMWare server rc2, FREE from VMware and install windows XP into it. It is a powerful and FAST virtual machine of enterprise quality. I use it to run a 64 bit ubuntu destop and still have windows for when I need it. Not opensource software though, unfortunately, but very good. Matthew p.s. the problem of expanding knowledge under Linux is well known. Expect your brain to get larger as it absorbs more information. p.p.s. You will eventually learn enough to know where to look for the answers. On 7 Jul 2006, at 07:43, Jake wrote: > Cliff L.

VMware is a really solid product, and I've used it on 64-bit hardware with 64-bit Linux. Microsoft really dropped the ball with Windows 64. You might try running Linux on your desktop and hosting Windows within a 32-bit environment in VMware...it won't cost you anything, and for once, Linux will actually give you better/faster hardware support. :-) -Cliff L.
