[beagleboard] How to install linux-headers-3.8.13-bone30

While trying to prepare a driver to be installed on my beaglebone black I
came across the following error

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.8.13-bone30
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.8.13-bone30'

These headers?

http://rcn-ee.net/deb/precise-armhf/v3.8.13-bone30/

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.8.13-bone30 armv7l)
available at http://www.armhf.com/index.php/download/

I downloaded the source at
Release 3.8.13-bone30 · RobertCNelson/linux-dev · GitHub and
then used the command ./build_kernel.sh.

After the build, while using the command ./tools/install_kernel.sh as
said at GitHub - RobertCNelson/linux-dev

I got the following message

I see...

Patches welcome, "armhf.com's" images are not currently supported by my

Can you tell me how install this headers.

wget <file>
sudo dpkg -i <file>

or even:

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

Will set it up automatically.

If you ubuntu-armhf images are not supported by your scripts where can I
find the image files support by yours.

Let's see, the "debian testing" image posted to this group every week..

First of all, sorry for posting such a big message, I just want to make
things clear...

Robert I tried your images available at
https://rcn-ee.net/deb/microsd/saucy/bone-ubuntu-13.10-2014-02-16-2gb.img.xz

Booted my beaglebone black with the image on sd card.

and ran the following commands

cd /opt/scripts/tools
git pull
./grow_partition.sh
sudo reboot

cd /opt/scripts/tools
git pull

root@arm:/home/ubuntu# cd /opt/scripts/tools
root@arm:/opt/scripts/tools# git pull
Already up-to-date.

v3.8.13-bone40 is latest
Third party modules...

Then I did

Now just do:

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

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel.git

Wrong "repo"...

BTW: just because we can install the headers, doesn't always guarentee some
crappy upstream's out of tree modules will build against it..

sudo apt-get update ?

The error is pretty obvious, it clearly shows what branch you need to
checkout to support a specific board.

As to "why" you specifically checked out "stable-kernel.git" git repo.. I
can't explain that. As clearly in all my wiki documentation i reference a
different repo/branch for the beaglebone family.

I should just delete that repo...

Look closely:

Worked pretty well actually only for the driver (Linux driver for Netis WF2190) that I am compiling it’s looking for “armv7l” Makefile … I am stuck here. Any idea how to fix this?

`

Dear Robert,

I want to install kernel headers v3.8.13-bone84.
I did the following commands :

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

but I get this error: no kernel header package found for 3.8.13-bone84, try another kernel. Before this I had the same error for v3.8.13-bone50. I updated the kernel to v3.8.13-bone84 and now I get this error.
I need to disable interrupts for that I need <asm/system.h> and somewhere I found that I should install linux headers. Could you help me please.

10

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.13-bone84

Regards,

Dear Robert,

thank you very much for your reply.

Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.8.13-bone84
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘linux-headers-3.8.13-bone84’

Could you please help me how to instal linux headers for 3.8.13-bone 84 or bone50

Thank you very much

Dear shrutika,

I did this:

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.13-bone84_1wheezy_armhf.deb

and then the linux hearers had been installed.

Hi Bushra,
Thank you so much.
I performed the steps told by you and I successfully able to install the linux-headers-3.8.13-bone84.But I have one more question that my debian is using linux-headers-3.8.13-bone50 and I am not able to get the headers for it so should I upgrade or downgrade my linux-headers or headers for bone-50 is available?

16

Here you go, copied from cold storage:

https://rcn-ee.net/repos/really-old-headers/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone50_1.0wheezy_armhf.deb

Totally unsupported and not recommending anything as 3.8.13-bone50 was
released May 12, 2014...

Regards,

17

Can you tell me how install this headers. If you ubuntu-armhf images are not supported by your scripts where can I find the image files support by yours.

18

Thanks for the reply Robert.

I did it using

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

as you said.

It installed the kernel successfully and said

done: kernel sources for 3.8.13-bone30 are now installed.
you should be able to compile kernel modules.

But even after this, when I try to compile a module I am not able to it, I get the same error. I have added the snapshots, kindly check and tell me how to solve this.
