Unable to install driver

aut432 · 05-04-2015, 10:54 AM

Hi, I am trying to install a smartcard reader driver onto my ubuntu machine. I am not able run the make file.

The output of makefile is as follows:

Code:

amit@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor$ sudo make
sed "s/RTSX_MK_TIME/`date +%y.%m.%d.%H.%M`/" timestamp.in > timestamp.h
cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
make -C /lib/modules/3.16.0-36-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/amit/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-36-generic'
arch/x86/Makefile:136: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
Makefile:652: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR: -fstack-protector not supported by compiler
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Driver/rts_pstor'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-36-generic'
make: *** [default] Error 2
amit@ubuntu:~/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor$

The make file for this driver is as follows:

Code:

TARGET_MODULE := rts_pstor

EXTRA_CFLAGS := -Idrivers/scsi 

obj-m += $(TARGET_MODULE).o

$(TARGET_MODULE)-objs := rtsx.o rtsx_chip.o rtsx_transport.o rtsx_scsi.o rtsx_card.o \
			 general.o sd.o xd.o ms.o spi.o

default:
	sed "s/RTSX_MK_TIME/`date +%y.%m.%d.%H.%M`/" timestamp.in > timestamp.h
	cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build SUBDIRS=$(shell pwd) modules
debug:
	sed "s/RTSX_MK_TIME/`date +%y.%m.%d.%H.%M`/" timestamp.in > timestamp.h
	cp -f ./define.debug ./define.h
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build SUBDIRS=$(shell pwd) modules
install:
	cp $(TARGET_MODULE).ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi -f
clean:
	rm -f *.o *.ko
	rm -f $(TARGET_MODULE).mod.c

Please let me know any of your comments.

Thanks,
Amit

I've no expertise in running make files but Googling rts_pstor I got these hits which may help:

Good luck!

Dear Amit,
have you noticed these 3 lines?:

did you already run /.config ?
do you have installed binutils?
you can check it if you write: binutils -v or binutils -version

Faithfully,
M.

@Soadyheid

Thanks, I tried those posts. But they have errors in their source files. Here I am not able to set the compiler/environment right to be able to compile the code.

I do not know how to get rid of this error:
Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR: -fstack-protector not supported by compiler

Thanks!

Hello,

There is no config file in the folder. It contains the following files:

I tried binutils -v It says binutils: command not found. Although when I did sudo apt-get install binutils, It says binutils is installed and is newest version.

Thanks,

are you sure compiling from source is the right way to go about this? on ubuntu???
are you absolutely sure that support for this device cannot be obtained otherwise? e.g. by loading an already existing module, or installing something from the repos?

you don't give us info about the device, or what the actual problem is and what you want to achieve, so all i can see right now is an xy-problem.

aut432 · 05-04-2015, 01:51 PM

@ondoho

Well, My X is that - Its a new device, and I want to load a driver for it. To do so, the Readme says to do as follows:

Code:

General Information
===================

Linux driver for Realtek PCI-Express card reader chip.


Build Steps
===========

1) make
2) make install
3) depmod
4) reboot your computer

Note: Root privilege is required in step 2 and 3

I am not aware if I can use any existing hardware driver or not. All I want to do is compile this to get a .ko file and load it.

Although I figured out that the problem was there was a whitespace in the driver source path. I removed that, along with some other help from links above, it is solved now.

Thanks though!

Amit

First, I'm willing to bet you are running on a 64 bit system; and that means that a 32 bit driver is useless. It would also explain why there is no 32 bit support in binutils (which is a package name, not an application - it includes 64 bit libraries and utilities, and if the compiling environment is included, it also means 64 bit assembler, 64 bit compilers... so no, it won't work).

And if CONFIG_X86_X32 is in a configuration file somewhere (likely), you have to recreate the configuration file AT A MINIMUM. Now, if the driver has never been built for 64 bit support you may also have to port the driver... But I'm assuming it tried to stay at least close to the Linux form, so it may only need that reconfiguration.

My initial guess is that the file define.h (copied from debug.h) has configuration options you will have to check.

i would start by fixing this VERY BIG PROBLEM

Quote:

/Downloads/Linux Driver/rts_pstor

see that " blank space " in the folder NAME !!!!

remove the blank space and retry

that error even tells you that that blank space IS causing a problem

Code:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Driver/rts_pstor'.  Stop.
