<DIV><SPAN class=574460716-02122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I currently have a
working kernel (2.6.30) running on an Atmel AT91SAM9G20-EK and I'm able to
compile a simple application in Eclipse simply by pointing the compiler and
linker commands to the appropriate cross-compiler path with some very basic
compiler options. I can also download to the target and
run.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=574460716-02122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, when I come
to try to build a simple loadable driver module (does nothing but print a kernel
message), I get all sorts of build errors. I believe I'm missing a lot of
options - things like __KERNEL__ and __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ etc. There is a
makefile in ~/linux-2.6.30/arch/arm but it's geared towards building the kernel
(I think) and it is extremely hard to pick out exactly what I
need.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
