INSERT MODULE AT BOOT

Former Member over 10 years ago

Dear All,
How to insert a driver module at the time of boot up?
In my zynq kernel there is no module or module.config file in /etc/ folder.

Dear Ganesh,
We will not add module at boot time, modules are compiled in kernel (static modules) or insert once entered into shell promt using insmod, rmmod, modprobe, depmod. Plese go through book Linux Device Drivers from Rubini.

Thank you & regards

Dear Satish,
Thank you for your kind reply.
I have cross compiled my dynamic module(LKM) for zynq linux on Ubuntu machine. On ubuntu it is possible to load dynamic module at boot time (when you mention your module name in module file under /etc/)
you can find some references here
