[ptxdist] Howto integrate custom kernel module into the kernel_modules*.ipk package

[ptxdist] Howto integrate custom kernel module into the kernel_modules*.ipk package

[Matthias Klein]

Hello,

I have a custom kernel module which doesn't came with a nice Makefile 
for integration into ptxdist.
I had no problem to create a rule file around the build process for that 
module.

But I don't know how to get my finish compiled *.ko file automatically 
into the kernel_modules package for depmod etc., as with the 
rules/Makefiles from a "src-linux-driver" skeleton.


To which location must I copy the module, and which scripts or commands 
do I have to execute in my rule file ?


Thanks for the help!


Best regards,

Matthias

platform-*/packages/linux-*/lib/modules/*/extra/

Make sure you start with the src-linux-driver template. It adds an extra
dependency to make this work.

Thank you for your help ! Now it works fine !

Do you have a tip for getting the module path without the fixed version 
?: $(KERNEL_PKGDIR)/lib/modules/3.4.37-rt51/extra/

Use the src-linux-driver template as Michael suggested. The install
stage will take care of this.
