I'm trying to integrate a 3rd party kernel module for some hardware that we are using as part of our project. Following the directions that work on the native Linux installation for building it doesn't quite work for a number of reasons, so I'm now modifying the generated Makefile.
However, it appears that the bulk of the work is done by a standard makefile located in /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/build (which was actually hard-coded by the configure before I started modifying the makefile). But, I'm not able to locate this in the files that Yocto has produced when building the embedded kernel and the other kernel modules. I've not booted the target and looked there - but I'd rather not build this on the target. Ideally, I'd like to have everything built on my development system (not that we won't have the horsepower to build on the target, but I'd rather not be putting the compilers there, nor have to be having a module build as part of bring up each time - we won't have any non-volitate memory so everything will have to be loaded each time we boot. Similarly, building the binary and just including that may be difficult as our build system is running a much older kernel than our target (3.10 versus 4.4), so we'd still be in a cross-target situation and the 3rd party supplier assumes that one is building for the system one is running on and provides limited support otherwise in their documentation (I've not contacted them for assistance yet) Any suggestions/recomendations?
