Compiling module into the kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear List,

I wrote a module (supporting nonstandard rtc devices). I have tested it and 
it is working nicely.

I put it under drivers/char directory. I modified Config.in in this directory 
(CONFIG_RTC_NONSTANDARD). I also modified Makefile in this dir adding 

obj-$(CONFIG_RTC_NONSTANDARD) += rtc_nostd.o

I typed

# make menuconfig

I set to <M> and I typed

# make zImage modules

The module was created and it worked nicely! 

Now I tried to compile to module into the kernel, so I set <*> in make 
menuconfig.

make zImage

the device was not working. 

I checked the compiled kernel image and it is bigger, so it seems the module 
code is compiled into the kernel.

How can I compile the module code into the kernel and make it run?

TIA && Good byte!
