Compile kernel

Hey guys,

I am trying to compile the kernel voor UDOO 3.0.35 from source in order to activate the ath9k_htc modules to use a better wifi dongle. I followed the documentation from the UDOO website (guide from downloads). I try to compile on the UDOO itself such that i don't need a cross-compiler. First I clone the kernel from github. Then I run:

Code:

sudo su
make ARCH=arm UDOO_deconfig

which generates the output:

Code:

root@udoobuntu: /home/ubuntu/kernel $ make ARCH=arm UDOO_deconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `UDOO_deconfig'.  Stop.
make: *** [UDOO_deconfig] Error 2

I have realy no idea what to do any more. Can somebody help me to compile this, or find a different way to get the ath9k_htc modules to work on the UDOO?

Thank you!

 

You have a typo in your instructions. It's "defconfig", not "deconfig"

 

Thank you for the help! That really kept me busy for a while. I have succesfully compiled the kernel. However, now i have a folder lib. In there are the drivers I need. I tried to copy them all to the location /lib/modules/3.0.35 using:

Code:

sudo cp -r ./lib/modules/3.0.35-g8a6eb06/* /lib/modules/3.0.35/

This goes without errors, however when I run:

Code:

sudo modprobe ath9k_htc

I will het the error

Code:

FATAL: Error inserting ath9k_htc (/lib/modules/3.0.35/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I have put the firmware (htc_9271.fw) inside /lib/firmware

 

try to run command:
#depmod
