Yocto Integration of Older Driver

[PaulDeMetrotion]

I have an older driver for a touchscreen controller. I need to integrate it into the Yocto build because it is not in the list provided during the menuconfig build. It is also not Open Firmware compliant if there is such a thing. I created a recipe for this driver but get quite a few errors. I assume the driver is not compatible with this source tree. Does anybody have experience doing this type of thing?

Hello Paul DeMetrotion,

There is some information on adding a driver in the Yocto environment on the BSP Guide as well as some online tutorials.

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html

Adding the driver, tough, would also require reviewing its compatibility with your desired kernel version. If the driver won’t work on the kernel you are using (and this with or without device tree accordingly) you would need to port your driver to the new kernel and then work on integrating it in Yocto.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
