Add a Driver to Kernel by menuconfig
From ESS-WIKI
You can add a driver to kernel by menuconfig. Here is an example to guide you how to add a RTC driver (Seiko Instruments S-35390A) to Linux kernel. we still use the RSB-4220 as demo. Please refer to the following steps:
- Open "Terminal" on Ubuntu host PC.
- $ sudo su (Change to “root” authority)
- Input user password.
- # cd $(BSP)/scripts/
- # source setenv.sh (To configure the developing environment automatically)
- # ./cfg_kernel.sh am335x_rsb4220_defconfig
- # ./cfg_kernel.sh menuconfig
Then you will see a GUI screen (Linux Kernel Configuration) as below:
- Select “Device Drivers”->”Real Time Clock”, you will see an option “Seiko Instruments S-35390A” on the list. Choose this option then exit and save your configuration.
- Change directory to “source/linux-3.2.0-psp04.06.00.11/arch/arm/mach-omap2”, edit the “board-rsb4220.h” and “board-advantech.c”. Please add below codes to source/linux-3.2.0-psp04.06.00.11/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rsb4220.h :
/* I2C */
static struct i2c_board_info mxc_i2c0_board_info[] __initdata = {
{
I2C_BOARD_INFO("s35390a", 0x30),
},
}
- Please add below codes to source/linux-3.2.0-psp04.06.00.11/arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-advantech.c:
omap_register_i2c_bus(1, 100, am335x_i2c0_boardinfo, ARRAY_SIZE(am335x_i2c0_boardinfo));
- Please refer to BSP Building Guide to rebuild the kernel with RTC driver (Seiko Instruments S-35390A) after completing above steps.
