Hi all, I’m trying to install BBB Debian with well known M2Tech Hiface1 USB>SPDIF converter.

I started with Debian 7.0 installation:
http://www.armhf.com/index.php/getting-started-with-ubuntu-img-file/

Then I start installing M2Tech Hiface1:

sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install git
git clone git://github.com/panicking/snd-usb-asyncaudio.git
sudo dkms add ./snd-usb-asyncaudio/
sudo dkms autoinstall

2nd command gave me an error:

debian@debian-armhf:~$ sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package kernel-headers-3.8.13-bone20
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex 'kernel-headers-3.8.13-bone20

I tried to find out the right kernel-headers at following site and install it:

http://wget%20http://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.8.13-bone20/install-me.sh
sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh
(reboot)

I also tried with this one:

http://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.8.13-bone20/
linux-headers-3.8.13-bone20_1.0wheezy_armhf.deb

No luck … I still have an error:

root@debian-armhf:/# sudo dkms autoinstall

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping…
Building module:

make KERNELRELEASE=3.8.13-bone20 KVERSION=3.8.13-bone20…(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.8.13-bone20 (armv7l)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/snd-usb-hiface/1.0/build/make.log for more information

And log looks like:

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance, Massimiliano

BTW - Is there any Real Time kernel available for Debian on BBB ?

"Welcome" to arm headers... Use this script, to setup everything properly..

wget https://raw.github.com/gkaindl/beaglebone-ubuntu-scripts/master/bb-get-rcn-kernel-source.sh

./bb-get-rcn-kernel-source.sh

Regards,

Is it for Ubuntu or for Debian as well ?

Still struggling and unable to compile M2Tech Hiface1 driver …

Is it planned to be officially integrated in one of the upcoming kernel version ? I mean 3.11 or 3.12 …

Regards. Max

I’m have similar issues. The header files for 3.8.13-bone20 don’t appear to be in the repository. Is there another location to find them?

8

I removed bone20 from all my repo's last week..

Upgrade to bone28, as bone20 is a known "broken" kernel. the Patch and
config are still in the repo if you want to build it yourself.
