Instructions for compiling the wolfson audio card kernel drivers and supported use cases

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi Guys,

 

Attached are some instructions for compiling the wolfson audio card kernel drivers into Raspbian and get the software up and running from a Command Line Interface.

 

Please post back here if you find any issues with getting this to work.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

    Thanks very much, Andy and all

     

    We got to here, all seeming as expected; then got the following:

     

    ~/kernel_source $ git am -3 /home/pi/rpi_wlf_3.10_beta/*

    /usr/lib/git-core/git-am: 203: /usr/lib/git-core/git-am: cannot open /home/pi/rpi_wlf_3.10_beta/*: No such file

     

    Following Ragnar's related suggestion, we also tried:

     

    ~/kernel_source $ git am -3 /home/pi/rpi_wlf_3.10_beta/*.patch

    /usr/lib/git-core/git-am: 203: /usr/lib/git-core/git-am: cannot open /home/pi/rpi_wlf_3.10_beta/*.patch: No such file

     

    Now we're stuck.

     

    We'd be grateful for any ideas.

     

    Thank you

    It looks like the patch files haven't been extracted into the /home/pi directory. Step 4 in the instructions.

    What does the command

    ls -la /home/pi

    return?
