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

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.


Sounds good.


 * microblaze_modules.patch - the core loadable module support
* platform_module_fixup.patch - a fixup to the handling of the platform_device initialisers, so that they work correctly when the associated device drivers are built as modules. See the comment at the top of microblaze?platform/common/Makefile for details. 


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.
Ah - an omission on my part. Will report the patches shortly, with your header file changes. 

Cheers,

John
