How to link a driver directly to kernel ?
 

Hello,

I built a simple module (ko) for a PCI card. In rcS (startup script) of busybox I'm running: insmod mymodule.ko

It works great.

Now I have to use "alloc_bootmem" in my driver. According to chap. 8 in DD3, I have to "link the driver directly to kernel".

How can I do it ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I put the c code (mymodule.c) in drivers/char and changed the Makefile located in this folder (+mymodule.o)

The driver was compiled and a .o was created.

This is the only way I could use "alloc_bootmem".

Thanks.
