Linux Kernel Driver Development

ritesh_panchal — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 05:32:39 GMT

Hello I am using imx6qsabresd board running with 3.14.28 linux fsl-image-multimedia-full image.

I want to develop toshiba3232pb camera driver kernel module.

So whats the best way to do the same.

Can i use eclipse to develop the same? I can able to debug Helloworld C project. Eclipse is generating .o file.

How to generate .ko from eclipse?

You will need kernel headers (in include), for FSL Yocto Linux directory

is located in

<Yocto build directory>/tmp/work/<machine-poky-linux-gnueabi

Have a great day,

Thanks Yuri for the Reply.

I followed the below link and setup Eclipse environment for yocto.

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#adt-eclipse

i created example template HelloWorld (Yocto Porject ADT Autotool Project). And i successfully cross-compile it and debug from eclipse also.

And i referred your link.

But instead of including linux src path and variable i just created Yocto Project ADT CMake HelloWorld Project.

But when i build this project i got error "Please make sure that cmake is installed properly on this machine".

So what i am missing?
