Compile kernel module (sc16is7xx.c)

david.bozo

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to add driver for SC16IS752 IC.

 

I want to use the Waveshare 2-CH RS232 HAT . This hat contains a SC16IS752 IC which uses SPI to communicate.

As far as i see the default image does not contains this module so i want to compile it from source: sc16is7xx.c(v4.14)

 

But i did not found the current kernel headers in /lib/modules/4.14.78/build. It points to /home/embest/compile/linux which is a not exist.

How can i achive this the most easily? Could someone point me in the right direction?

  • Thank you! I hoped i had other option then this. This will be my first time to do this so i might take the opportunity to ask you.

     

    But another question of mine. Is there any other linux distro for this board? Some more mainstream? Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine? I mean i know it is based on Debian 10.5 but i would rather use the official builds.

    In theory what would it take to for example use Ubuntu?

    Hi David,


    The only supported systems for the MaaXBoard/Mini are Yocto / Debian Linux and Android 9.0

     

    Link to Yocto Sources -https://github.com/Avnet/meta-maaxboard

     

    I would reccomend you avoid using another distro from a support standpoint, a significant amount of effort went into the development of the MaaXBoard/Mini specific libraries in each distribution supported. This would need to be created from scratch by you if you wanted for instance to use somthing besides Debian/Yocto/Android.

     

    If you wanted to use the official Debian release as mentioned above, you may be able to port the MaaXBoard specific files from the current Debian build. However support from our side would be quite limited.
