Hi all,
I have got a driver module to be loaded on my uClinux board.These many days i used to copy those files to my board through ftp.And then say "insmod driver.ko" in the board.
I wanted to get rid of this and so i copied my driver modules to the path /root/'path to my uClinux dist'/vendors/Analog Devices/MyBoard folder.
I also edited the rc file in this folder like "insmod driver.ko"
I also added a line in Makefile : $(ROMFSINST) /home/bfin/sys_soft/driver.ko
I recompiled my kernel.
While trying to insert driver.ko while booting, it comes out with an error like : module has no symbols.
When i checked, the actual file size of my driver is 65kB but on the board after booting, when i checked in the path /home/bfin/sys_soft, the file size of my driver.ko is only 8kB.
Someone please help me in getting rid of this issue.
Regards,
Prathika

ROMFSINST will automatically strip all files. run `./tools/romfs-inst.sh` for usage help.

hi Mike,
when i executed ./tools/romfs-inst.sh, in the help option it asks me specify the [options] and [src] and dst.
I think my options should be [-S] as it says there should be no stripping after installation.What should be my [src] and dst?
Please help in this regard.

hi Mike,
these things are a bit new concepts for me(like linux and its concepts).thats y struggling a bit.
when i tried executing ./tools/romfs-inst.sh -S
it again prints the help option for executing the romfs-inst.sh.
so i tried ./tools/romfs-inst.sh -S /"path to my board dir where i copied the driver.ko" -l /"path to romfs dir".
still it gives me only the help option for executin romfs-inst.sh.
I even tried recompiling the kernel after this.still my driver.ko is stripped.....
Can u please tell me where am i going wrong?
