Hi Khadija, Sorry for being here so late. I just saw also your other messages with further help requests. Please do other work while waiting for help on a specific issue. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you can only build axis- fifo in-kernel because you cannot change the '*' to 'm'. Correct? If so, you have probably touched other configuration options in a way that forces that driver to work only if compiled in-kernel). Therefore, I'd restart from scratch. Please delete your current .config and make a copy of the one from your running kernel. Then check the three options Alison and I were talking about. Remember that you cannot see the axis-fifo module entry (CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO) in "Device Drivers" -> "Staging Drivers" section if you have not yet enabled (either with 'm' or 'y') CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM. Now you should end up with a visible CONFIG_XIL_AXIS_FIFO that can be enabled as a module with 'm'. Let me know if this procedure works.
