Hello Everybody,
I am a little confused about the correct way, how to add a precompiled module to my Yocto Image. I thought the easiest way is to create a new recipe.
Recipe:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION = "Install of several kernel modules"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
kmoddir = "/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/wlan"
SRC_URI = "file://modules/compat.ko \
file://modules/sxcfg80211.ko \
file://modules/wlan.ko \
"
FILES_${PN} += "/lib/modules/ ${kmoddir} ${kmoddir}/compat.ko ${kmoddir}/sxcfg80211.ko ${kmoddir}/wlan.ko"
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${kmoddir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/modules/compat.ko ${D}${kmoddir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/modules/sxcfg80211.ko ${D}${kmoddir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/modules/wlan.ko ${D}${kmoddir}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The recipe built is successfully, the modules are available in the rootfs, but not at the correct location. The modules are located in "/lib/modules/wlan" but the correct path should be "/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/wlan".
So I checked the ${KERNEL_VERSION} variable and it´s empty. How can I access this variable in my recipe? Do I need a special include?
My second idea was to add the module by inherit module to my recipe. There is also an example located in poky/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod. My main problem is that the module recipes tries always to compile my own recipe. But there is nothing to compile, my kernel images are precompiled.
So that´s why I am confused and not sure which is the correct approach?
Thanks for any help,
