Installing Built Drivers on Yocto Image?

[PaulDeMetrotion]

I have prebuilt some drivers for a RedPine wireless device and need to put the drivers and scripts onto a Linux image. I have created the following rs9113_1.0.0.bb recipe but I get errors when trying to copy the drivers. I do not get these errors with the scripts. Any ideas what I am doing wrong??

rs9113_1.0.0.bb:

Remove the ${D} prefix in the FILES_${PN} setting - that's why the packager isn't finding those files.

Hello Paul DeMetrotion,

Are you still encountering this issue when installing the built drivers? The error seems odd. I think the _append suffix on the do_install, SRC_URI and FILES_${PN} may not be necessary.

In some forums I read that you may ignore the QA warning by using the following command, but it won’t fix the root cause so you may still be lead to an error.

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "installed-vs-shipped "

Regards,
