Hello all,
I've successfully compiled a custom kernel based on the default 4418 hdmi config file.
I have the uImage file and have also compiled all the external modules. I did this on the board itself, not on my PC host.
I copied the new uImage to the /boot directory and made a back up of the original one.
The board boots fine with this except that the external modules don't load automatically, therefore I have no wifi acces and other things are probably missing. I can switch back to the original uImage and reboot everything will be Ok again.
I wonder what's the formal procedure to update the Kernel after compilation with the uImage style. So that everything is referenced correctly internally.
Are we supposed to do make install and make install_modules, or even make firmware_install (???) anyways for this embedded 'uImage' configuration?
This last part of the process is not very clear, if some Kernel Guru could clarify I would be very grateful.
Note that the only difference on my my kernel is that I made the UVC webcam driver be an external module ("M") so I can operate multiple webcams simultaneously.
Thanks for any help out there!
*I'm writing this from the board itself, on an hdmi tv, how awesome is that.
