Re: [microblaze-uclinux] loadable module support in petalinux kernel 2.6

[Erik Hansen <hansen@xxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Thanks for your help!

That was quick, indeed. I have just tried to compile the SMC91C111
driver as a module and was able to load the required modules, to
configure the network and to connect to the outside world.
As soon as I have more time for this I will continue testing.

I have applied both patches to a clean petalinux-v0.20-rc3 directory.
Your patches did not include the changes I made to 
include/asm-microblaze/elf.h and include/asm-microblaze/module.h.
Is there any special reason for this? I was not able to compile the
kernel with module support without patching those two files.

Cheers,
Erik
