I just compiled the qcserial
module which is a driver module for a Gobi USB modem. Now I have a couple of questions.
drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko
and drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.o
which one is the correct driver?/lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/
but how do I know which sub directories from there onwards?modprobe qcserial
?What I have tried so far:
root@ariag25:~# mkdir /lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
root@ariag25:~# cp drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko /lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
root@ariag25:~# ls -l /lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/usb/serial
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17921 Jan 1 18:30 qcserial.ko
root@ariag25:~# modprobe qcserial
FATAL: Module qcserial not found.
root@ariag25:~#
What am I missing? Do I also need to copy the .o
file?
From where I compiled it, I have:
ls -l drivers/usb/serial/qc*
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 3776 Oct 18 18:24 drivers/usb/serial/qcaux.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 3212 Dec 28 10:14 drivers/usb/serial/qcaux.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 12577 Oct 18 18:24 drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 17921 Dec 28 10:44 drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 7743 Dec 28 10:44 drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.mod.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 11688 Dec 28 10:44 drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.mod.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 reg reg 6912 Dec 28 10:44 drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.o
edit for Answer 1
Ok, I copied my linux-3.11.6-arm.tar
into the target's /tmp/
. I then executed tar -C / -tvf linux-3.11.6-arm.tar
to extract it onto /
but after this, I still would get
# modprobe qcserial
FATAL: Module qcserial not found.
I then wondered if the driver gat even copied:
# tar -C / -tvf linux-3.11.6-arm.tar | grep qcserial
-rw-r--r-- root/root 17921 2013-12-28 13:22 lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko
so that looks fine, but if I want to ls
it, # ls /lib/modules/3.11.6/kernel/drivers/usb/
there's no serial
directory within usb/
- why not? What happened?
You'll need to create a kernel package (make tar-pkg
). Then copy it to your ARM system, for example to /tmp
and extract to /
. You'll get all driver modules installed into correct folders including proper modules.dep
and other files needed to automatically resolve module dependencies.
modprobe qcserial
should be working then.
