Hi!
Can anyone tell if FTDI is available on the DNS-323?

http://ftdi-usb-sio.sourceforge.net/

Looking at the 2.6.12.6 kernel GPL as referenced to from the wiki, I can see that the ftdi_sio driver is in there (drivers/usb/serial). Does this mean it is available on the DNS or was it somehow excluded when the kernel was built for the DNS-323?

The FTDI driver can be inserted as kernel module. You need the usbserial.ko and ftdi_sio.ko kernel modules. Have a look at this post: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t2375-Need … utter.html where I've explained how to get an Arduino (which uses an FTDI-chip) working.

Can you be more precise about how to "insmod them into the kernel"?

I have managed to insmod the ftdi_sio kernel module. Who compiled the module at http://dev.skcserver.de/dns323/modules_v1.03/ ? I need to make an updated version of the driver.

Seems nobody is with me on this one... Anyway, I attempted to recompile the ftdi_sio.c without success. I got several error messages, perhaps my toolchain is out of order.

Some of the errors:

I forgot how I did it exactly, but I can give you some handles. Set up your toolchain and make sure the correct PATH is set. Then enter your linux-2.6.12.6 directory. Type 'make menuconfig' and browse around a bit in the menu. You should add the ftdi_sio driver as a loadable module (M). Exit and save the menu and type 'make modules'.

I'm not sure if these are all the steps required, but with some fiddling I was able to get ftdi_sio.ko compiled.

Is my toolchain broken?

Try the following:

Code:

source setpath
cd linux-2.6.12.6
./cv.sh
make menuconfig

Configure the FTDI_SIO driver as a loadable module (by searching for it in the menu, and typing M to turn it on as a module)

Code:

make clean;make uImage;make modules;make modules_install

Basically you're doing what build_kernel does for you, but then with the modules selected.

If you're getting errors, make sure /usr/bin/gcc links to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 and /usr/bin/g++ links to /usr/bin/g++-3.4:

Code:

sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo rm /usr/bin/g++
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-3.4 /usr/bin/++

Can anyone comment on why I get:

Code:

# make menuconfig

Seems like the compiler is not in your path. Can you dump the output of

Code:

echo $PATH

here?

arm-linux-uclibc-gcc is usually a name for a cross-compiler. The native compiler is just gcc. The scripts you're using are made for cross-compilation and probably set CC=arm-linux-uclibc-gcc or CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-uclibc- in your environment (setpath script?). You should remove these.

My intention is to make a kernel module not a complete new kernel.

OK, I removed the "CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-uclibc-" from my makefile, and some of the errors are gone. Still, quite a few remain:

Dead end. Although you could compile and install libintl, there's another problem that slipped my mind. Linux 2.6.12.6 won't compile with gcc4 - sorry.

You need a gcc3 toolchain to compile that old kernel. I recommend cross-compiling the kernel on a faster host.

vedeja · 2008-07-07 18:52:27

fonz, thanks for driving the nail into that...

So, back at the original problem. The driver IS actually updated with the changes I want in later distributions. If anyone has the possibility to compile the 'usbserial.ko' and 'ftdi_sio.ko' kernel modules from a recent distro I would really be grateful. My attempts to set up a toolchain has not been successful so far...you can tell from the above. Well, thanks anyway.

I guess I'm becoming a bit desperate over this. I attach the source files for someone kind with a little spare time...and a working toolchain.

I have taken the path of setting up my own cross compiler, using the wiki. I hope I can get the driver compiled that way.

Anyway, I'm stuck on the last few steps of the wiki. The build_u-boot scripts point to 'u-boot-1_1_1' but my zips folder does not contain a corresponding package, only 'u-boot_1_7_3.tgz'. Should I change the script to reflect this other package?

EDIT: forget this, the zips directory has a package named 'u-boot-1_1_1_5181.tgz' which extracts to 'u-boot-1_1_1'. I missed that. Continuing with the CC environment setup.

I think the toolchain is OK now. Yet:

Code:

  CC      scripts/mod/empty.o

When I try this NOW (meaning on my cross compiler - yet I'm not if that's applicable when compiling other than natively?) I get some other errors. Help, I'm still stuck!

It's using the wrong compiler. little-endian, apcs, ... are options that are only understood by a compiler that produces ARM instructions. Instead of clearing CC et al, you should add the path to arm-linux-uclibc-gcc to $PATH.

This was the final problem. Thank you so much, fonz.
I have already crosscompiled a working new version of the driver on my VMWare Ubuntu machine.
