TI Linux SDK (03.01.00.06) headers

ferdster

I am trying to compile some drivers directly on a Beaglebone Black running TI Linux SDK (03.01.00.06).

I previously did it on the stock BBB image running Debian. One of the steps is to get the linux-headers by doing:

apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.13-bone80 which then creates /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone80/build

How do I do the same thing running TI Linux. I tried a couple of variations like 'opkg install linux-headers-4.4.19-gdb0b54cdad' or 'opkg install linux-headers-4.4.19' with no success.

I know it takes longer than cross-compiling on a build machine, but I am doing it for convenience right now as I don't have a build machine set up yet.

Thanks.

What is the console output?

I made a search in our wiki and forum, and it seems that "opkg install" is used for packages (*.ipk files). I am not sure if you can use it for other things.

Can you also test with "opkg update" and "opkg upgrade"?

See if the below e2e threads will be in help:

Starting from TI Linux PSDK1 (01.00.00.00), we have native GCC compiler located at:

tisdk-rootfs/usr/bin/gcc -> arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

None of those linked helped me with a solution.

Basically, one of the steps to building the driver for a Redpine Signals wifi module is to edit the Makefile with the kernel headers like:

DEF_KERNEL_DIR:= /lib/modules/3.4.664.4.19-gdb0b54cdad/build

except that I don't have the 'build' directory and don't know where/how to get it.

What about "opkg install kernel-headers", will this work for you? See if the below pointers will be in help:
