Hi
I am trying to get a camera Starlight Xpress MX716 working with
beagleboard. For that I have to compile the drivers and build kernel
modules ccd.ko, sx_usb.ko and insert them into the kernel.
How do I cross compile these modules from the C code for beagleboard?
I am sorry, this might be a silly query, but I have just begun to use
beagleboard a few weeks back.
This sounds like a general linux kernel module question. Anyway AFAIK
this camera is not supported in the kernel tree (i may be wrong), so
are you
planning to write the driver yourself?
There are a lot of howtos available on how to compile and insert
modules.
Hi Deepak,
Thank you for the response.
The driver is already written for kernel 2.6. I have successfully
tried it on a linux desktop.
I want to cross compile the driver for the beagleboard, running
angstrom linux.
I am searching for the howtos. Also thought of just posting this
question on this group, in case anyone had come across a good howto,
and would want to share.
