I am trying to build a led driver for the samsung kernel 2.6.35.7 I have 2.6.35-22-generic installed on my host machine Now I thought is I could take the header files for the 2.6.35.7 kernel from the net sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.35.7: Error:Unable to locate package kernel-headers-2.6.35.7
This is related to repositories of your host distribution. It seems repositories do not have this package. check your distros document for correct package name.
Any suggestion for the header files can I use the header files of 2.6.35 like if I type sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.35
you should be able to use the same headers(in most cases)
and use these header files for the led driver compilation
I have the samsung kernel source , so Maybe I just compile the led driver against this source without compiling the entire samsung kernel .
What is samsung kernel? yes, I think you can compile out of tree modules, check out books like rubini or love for details or googling should also help.
Plz iluminate . Regards Sraddha
