help compiling modules for AML876-MX?

[niabi]

Is there anyone that has compile modules for the AML876-MX?

I downloaded the kernel source, and I can basically compile a uImage, but since I don't have the proper config file it wont boot, not really a problem as I only want to compile modules.

My problem is when I compile a module I get errors on module version and stuff like that, I found out the Module.symvers needs to be the same as the kernel I am using, so I extracted it from my kernel, but now 2 more problems, if I run:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/amlogic/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j12 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=build_modules modules

then the Module.symvers gets overwritten, if I run make M=module I get an error that configure.h is not found.

does anyone have an idea on how to do this?

So, after you compile the uImage, you run make modules and....what happens exactly?

What I always did in Mx devices was after compiling the kernel, I just run:

make modules
make modules_install (you can specifiy a path if you want).

What kernel version are you using? 3.0.50? 3.0.8?

If you have a repo I can try to compile something if you tell me the modules you need.

Thanks for the reply;

the main problem is that when I compile a module and try to insmod I get an error that says module disagrees about version of symbol module_layout.

I read that I needed a Module.Symvers from my runing kernel, I got one by using a python script and extracting it from the kernel directly.

if I run make modules like you say, it overwrites the Module.symvers with its own (the incorrect one) thus making the module trow the same error.

if I run make M=module I get an error that preconfig.h does not exists (or something like that, sorry I am not at my home computer)

The source is the amlogic 3.0.8 source (kernel-common-2012-08-03-git-a63244fb9c.tar.gz)

hope I am making sense. and hopefully you can help me, I am trying to compile xpad.ko

Try with this module:

Compiled using amlogic 3.0.8 source.

If still does not work, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe stane1983 can have any other idea.

Thanks, it didn't work(Exec format error), funny thing is dmesg has no more info...


this is the complete error when I run make m=

ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.


but the files ARE there

I have tried this, which seems to be what would fix my problem, but alas, I get the same error :/

SUCESSS!!!!!!!!!!

After many hours! I finally did it! got the PS3 and Xbox modules working

the link I posted earlier was the way to do it, except I was using an O instead of o :/ (but it also works without it, the modules will compile to the source dir)
