I have set myself a task for over the next week, to write a Loadable Kernel Module for the beaglebone to control the GPIO and SPI bus. However, I am falling at the very first hurdle - compiling. My beaglebone image is build using OpenEmbedded and I want to cross compile my module using the openembedded kernel sources, however I keep getting this error:
Makefile:
MODULES := spiModule.o
#guest architecture
ARCH := arm
CROSS_COMPILE := arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-
obj-m := $(MODULES)

I think I am pointing to the wrong kernel directory. Could anyone enlighten me to where I should be pointing to?
I plan to do a blog post write-up when I am finished so hopefully no help or information will go unheeded!
I don't want to do this through the OpenEmbedded module building system, the reason being I haven't been able to build it for the past few weeks to do package inconsistencies - so please don't just suggest I do that.

You need to write a recipe for it.

You need to write a recipe for it.
I plan to compose a recipe for it when the bulk of the development is done and I can get OpenEmbedded building again.
I have fixed my issue by cloning the git sources of the meta-ti kernel branch, compiling it outside of OpenEmbedded using the poky toolchain and building my module against that.

My host has upped to glibc 2.16 which is why my builds are failing - I'm just waiting for oe-core to catch up and get all Khems patches merged, along with the issues that the gets function is no longer available. I don't see why this would be different in Angstrom, it's my host incompatibility that is the issue.
and is using an optimized setup for beagleboard.org boards. But if you want to stick with that x86 poky stuff, fine,
I use the poky stuff because it's more geared to commercial development. It's already hard enough trying to prove my new fangled straight out of University hippy Linux ways are viable and if there are some charts I can wave at people from Intel saying it's good then it helps.
but don't ask here for help, ask the poky dudes.
The reason I post in this group is because it is a more about general embedded development than the Yocto list and there is a higher chance that someone in here will be trying to do what I am doing and might suggest alternatives.

Seriously, this question would be better posted on the Yocto list. One
of the hardest tasks we face is educating some of the Yocto Project
people about how real embedded developers work 
We need all the help
we can get.
