Scenario:
If there is an Audio driver that needs to be updated to a Linux distribution on a board (because of a bug), can this be done :
1. with someone just providing the driver update OR
2. does it need to rebuild the entire Linux platform again.

Take the case of Fedora with a Realtek driver on it that needs to be updated.

What you need to look for :
1. What options are there for achieving above objective?

there are alot of things to consider.
basically you need to update the driver / kernel. thats that.
BUT!. there are also some thing that could not be done by doing the above. some times you need to do some hacking and blahblah blah...
Its all so much easier when the problem described correctly with some "hard facts "

@ nocountryman

dude be specific for the driver..your answer is not relevent.and when you are doing something on board which is not connected to any internet so there is no hacking kind of thing. It would be much better if you please ellaborate your answer with some strong backup reasons...thnx..

@tejendra

OK the here is the challenge for you:

1. What is your distro (uname -a will do just fine)
2. Your audio card? lspci could probably help
3. what is the problem : (f there is an Audio driver that needs to be updated to a Linux distribution on a board (because of a bug), can this be done ) not helping please elaborate.
4. anything else that could help to help YOU, will be highly appreciated.

ok guys no post have given me any relevent stuff. I will simplyfy the proflem by describing in simple words..

think in terms of a device driver designer(it can be any driver)
if you got a bug then what will u do and under what cases(You need to give explanation also)
1. We just provide the driver update OR
2. We need to rebuild the entire Linux platform again. On the board.
both the options are right but under what cases they are right.

brianL · 12-23-2010, 07:32 AM

What's irrelevant about my answer?
Is this homework?

tejendra · 12-23-2010, 08:03 AM

man its not homework first of all...and i am an engineer well i just want to know the logic because i am experiencing problems in my project.

tejendra · 12-24-2010, 02:30 AM

No body has enough guts to answer my question.So i think you all are dumbo..Is there any linux user who can anser my question i bet him if he will he will be the master of LINUX.

If you have a audio driver installed and later you found some updates for the bug. You can apply the update. This doesn't required to rebuild the entire Linux platform. Before apply the patch please update your kernel. Only major issues related to drivers only required to rebuild in-case if its crashes.

If you are facing any issues in your project related to this, please share me the output of the error.

About error:

When ever you are facing any issues with bugs, please refer to the technical notes for the specific version. The notes contain fixed/opened error and changes.

now please share me the output. so that I could help you.

Well then! Statements like that are not going to draw crowds of friendly, knowledgeable people. Answering your question does not involve guts, nor does it involve elephants. And, while I'm pretty sure you did not really intend to insult everyone around you, calling us all 'dumbo' is a step in that direction. Please refrain from slinging insults in the future.

I think you will not find any one 'master of Linux' coming along to answer your question- and Linus T. is probably quite busy getting 2.6.37 ready for release. However, prodev05 (above post) appears willing to try to help you.

Be patient! You may get your answer sooner or later- or you may not. It's a holiday season for many folks too, so the forums will be slower, meaning you will wait longer for help. If no help comes, just try to add more information to your thread, so that it may become easier for someone to answer.

Kind regards & good luck with this issue.
