Re: HOW TO- Build modules for embedded platform?

[Vipul Jain <vipulsj@xxxxxxxxx>]

But won't this install kernel modules for my current working host machine instead of installing modules for TARGET?

I am not sure how to get /lib/modules on TARGET board.

Regards,
Vipul.

are you referring to "make modules_install"? this is a step, at least
in x86 arch, to install kernel modules on appropriate place under
/lib/modules/<kernel version>
