Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X: Building a kernel with Xillybus drivers

Sebastian Wankmueller

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I am trying to transfer data via PCIe between the AM572x EVM and a Xilinx AC 701 and I want to use the Xillybus drivers for this. Therfore I followed the instructions (Processor SDK: Building The SDK) to build the SDK. Now I want to change the configuration to add the Xillybus drivers. How can I use the bitbake command to do so? Referring to the yocto development manual it should be something like # bitbake linux-yocto -c menuconfig. After changing the config file I want to create a new Kernel with the Xillybus drivers installed.

When I use the bitbake command as shown I get an error message. What is the correct way to change the configuration of the kernel?

Best regards

Sebastian

Hi, Sebastian,

I am not familiar with modifying configuration through yocto menuconfig, but I wonder if this link would help?

If you don't really need to use yocto, you can run menuconfig and build the kernel from ProcSDK kernel source. Then copy the image to the SD card.

Hi Rex,

with menuconfig and make I could build a kernel with the Xillybus drivers. Thanks for your help.

Best regards
