Still not working
First I executed following commands:-
$ make drivers/iio/dummy/iio_dummy_evgen.ko
$ make drivers/iio/dummy/iio_dummy.ko
Above commands executed successfully
Then I run following command:
$ insmod iio_dummy_evgen.ko
Getting following error:
insmod: ERROR: could not load module iio_dummy_evgen.ko: No such file
or directory
And, then I try executing them from driver/staging/dummy and then I
got this error:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module iio_dummy_evgen.ko: Operation
not permitted
