PEAK-Linux Driver on Raspberry Pi

[M.Maidhof]

Hi,

looks ok. Please send the full output of your make process. Check also dmesg for relevant outputs. Please update your PI to the latest version: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade.

regards

please do the same steps on your system. Please do those steps in the \driver directory only.

Hello,

I solved the problem. the file Module.symvers was messing in the kernel-headers. i downloaded it from github then i placed it in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.6.11+, then i re-built the driver and it worked this time. now , i can load the module.

Here's the link where i downloaded Module.symvers:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... le.symvers

Thanks,

Hi,

Finally I could install the driver. The problem in my case was that at the utsrelease.h located in the folder of the linux-headers was written "3.6.11", so I have to add the "+"

Anyway, now I am having a different problem, because I compiled the kernel and now when I try to install the driver it appers the following error: "can't find /include/linux/version.h"

The thing is that now my kernel version is different, because when I write uname -r I get "3.6.11-cutdown+". I guess this is the problem, but I don't know how to solve it.

thanks for your attention.

Emilio

Have you checked that you have a symbolic link to your header file directory?
See PDF Docu, page 14, section 5.2.1:

Up from kernel version 2.6.x the completely configured
kernel sources for your target system have to be installed. If
it is a standard installation the sources are located under
“/usr/src/linux“ in which this normally is a link e.g. to
“/usr/src/linux-2.6.6“. For every kernel smaller or equal than
2.4.x only the “kernel-headers“ have to be installed. (It's not
wrong to install the complete sources of the target system.)
The kernel-headers are installed if the invocation of “cat
/lib/modules/'uname -r'/build/include/linux/modversions.h“
is ending without an error. (“'uname -r'“ is a placeholder for
the result of the invocation “uname -r“.)

[emilio.munoz]

Yes....that was the problem!! Thanks! Now it works!.

The only thing is that when I try to install a NETDEV driver utility and I compile your driver with

make NET=NETDEV_SUPPORT PCI=NO PAR=NO ISA=NO PCC=NO DNG=NO

what I get with cat /proc/pcan command is:

│*n -type- ndev --base-- irq --btr- --read-- --write- --irqs-- -errors- status
│32 usb -NA- ffffffff 255 0x001c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0x0000

The ndev column should be can0 instead of -NA-. I know that the SocketCAN option is not enabled in the kernel config of the Raspberry PI, but I tried to compile the kernel following some instructions: (http://elinux.org/RPi_CANBus) but it is still not working with the can0 at ndev.

I don't know what I can be doing wrong

[PEAK-Support]

You have compiled the CharDev Driver
│*n -type- ndev --base-- irq --btr- --read-- --write- --irqs-- -errors- status
│32 usb -NA- ffffffff 255 0x001c 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0x0000

have you removed the CharDev driver before you try to install the NetDev?

Hi Michael,

I am trying the same thing right now but can't get the kernel module to load. I have a brand new RPi, the latest standard wheezy from the Raspberry Pi foundation, completely updated system and I followed the instructions to the letter. Here is the output of my build:

It looks exactly like yours, except I can't load the module. Any ideas?

Hi Chris,
i do not see any differnt between the way you did it and how Michael show how to do it.
Have you any news? Solution?
