I'm trying to cross compile rt3070 drivers for a Hawking usb wifi N card, using clemsyn's kernel source and the android tool chain.
From what I've been reading, something like the following should work?
I can compile the driver fine in ubuntu 11.04 and insmod the resulting .ko file.
When I try any combination of the following for arm, make cant find a make file.
Whats the proper way to do this? This is what I've been trying so far:
sudo make -C ~/drivers/2011_0407_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.2_DPO ARCH=arm-eabi CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/src/tegratab/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- LINUX_SRC=/usr/src/Clemsyn-OC-kernel
any help is appreciated, any links to info to read to shed some light, whatever. Thanks

if you ever got this to work pm me, i need the rt3070 drivers on my andriod...
I'm tearing what little hair I have left out trying to get OpenVPN working on my Samsung Intercept. The unit is rooted, I've installed OpenVPN and the gui manager app from the market. I get all the way up to connecting to my OpenVPN server, and a check of the log and dmesg shows the following after an insmod tun.ko:
tun: version magic '2.6.32.9 mod_unload ARMv7' should be '2.6.32.9 mod_unload ARMv6' .. The tun.ko I found on another board claimed to work on the Samsung Intercept with Froyo.. guess it doesn't.. So, I've googled until my fingers are tired to find a tun.ko that will work and had zero luck, so I wonder if there is any tutorial on what is needed/how to build a tun.ko for a Samsung Intercept. I've downloaded the kernel source from Samsung, but have had zero luck in finding any info on what toolchain is needed to compile modules on a 32bit Linux platform. I realize this would be a cross-platform setup for an Armv6 . I'm quite familiar with Linux, and Linux software building, having begun my Linux adventure back in 1994 with Slackware. I'm significantly less familiar with Android.. HELP!!
Hi,
I followed some threads in this forum and managed to build USB to Ethernet driver (usbnet.ko and asix.ko) for Acer Iconia A1-810 but I am not able to load them to the tablet with insmod command.
insmod usbnet.ko
insmod asix.ko
It says "no such file or directory" even through I put them in /system/lib/modules and ran the commands from there. I Guess that the files I built were based on wrong version of Ubuntu and Android_Toolchains.
Does anybody manage to build the driver for the tablet or know how to do that or know which version of Ubuntu and Android toolchains I need to use?
My device is rooted and the drivers were built on Ubuntu 12.04, Android_Toolchains arm-eabi-4.4.3
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for a way to install arch Linux NATIVELY on the touchpad, I tried with kexec and the images available for it and it's all broken, it won't even complete the installation, I also tried this install guide with this image because the install guide uses images that are no longer available to download, but also no luck, there is also this post but the guy said it's really old and the txt file that is in his archive keeps repeating that it's "hacky".
So I really need a nice and modern approach, I know a lot about Linux, just not about porting so if someone wants to try and make a new port and a new installation method I could try to help.
We should really try to do this because it would bring a new life to the TP, imagine running i3-gaps on this beautiful piece of hardware.
Hope you guys can help me and before I post this I gotta say: "Btw, I use Arch".

That will require a new Kernel and drivers for WiFI, Sound, Touch Screen and any other hardware.

The only way that I know that is reliable and works using the lastes Ubuntu, Debian or Arch in a chroot environment.

I mean, that would work, but would require Android and wouldn't be native, I want to have arch and webos, both running native.

The kernel is what makes the OS works by providing support for the hardware. WebOS Kernel is OLD and not supported by any current Linux, even LuneOS use the Android Kernel.
Android can be install and keep WebOS, it was a great OS but not nothing current will run on it.
Using the method posted, the most up to date and current Linux distribution of Arch, Debian, Ubuntu and more can all be install on the same Tablet running Android and use any Linux flavor without rebooting.
Android provides a very stable newer kernel that will share the resources with any listed Linux flavors and those built are native arm, runs super fast. If you want it to have all that done natively and not using Android, then the Kernel must be modified and all the "private drivers" ported to the most current version of Linux. The OS can not be updated as Linux will modify the Kernel, breaking everything. But everything is possible, is up to the user how much time and dedication plus the knowledge required to make it work.

I don't mind running old kernel/package versions, I am actually trying to run the old projects but most have the Images down and unavailable and the ones that don't just straight won't work.

I never installed any native Linux Os on the Tablet. The Ubuntu Touch was promising but never took off. The system must be stable for anything to be use otherwise is just experimental as most of those builds were. Running Linux in a Chroot environment is somewhat, not the same, as a Linux guest virtual machine and Android as a host.
That is the only way I know of, that is stable and current.
Ok so right now I have two more options available to try but they are probably not gonna work, in that case I'll start to look about making my own port of ArchLinuxARM

I did search for a working native linux OS for the Tablet, but did not found any.
It can surely be done, take a look at this video and the source at GitHub.

The Tablet uses LVM and can easily be partition in any way. It can also boot directly into Linux. The only thing to do is rename the file in /boot uImage.moboot to the Linux uImage ( example ) uImage.ArchLinux.
If any help, let me know.
Have fun!
I'm making some progress

Congratulations !
You did it ! once it boots is all it matters.
This is an idea, a chroot Arch can be built inside Android
A partition can be created in LVM Arch_Linux ( any size )
Inside Android with the App I posted, create the Chroot Arch Linux ( up to date )
Then modify the Ramdisk to direct at the partition Arch_Linux ( same it was use in the Chroot )
Then it should boot up ( some other changes will need to happen I guess)
Arch armv7l as chroot in Android 8.1 with HpTp_MAX
Testing the new kernel settings in Android and installed the latest version of Linux Arch using Linux Deploy.
It is fast and it would be even better running native!
Attached are the screenshots.
I have compiled a kernel from Floppy kernel source, to make it contain an ATH9K driver for TP-Link usb wifi card TL-WN722N, but when I plug it in on OTG usb and execute command in Termux to list available devices, it's not there, and the wifi network card's LED is not on. I'm not sure if it's the kernel driver is not working or it's app's level issue, Is there a way to check if the driver is successfully installed? Thanks!
The device is a Xiaomi MI 5, running official miui dev ver of Android 8, kernel is compiled from Floppy Kernel for miui Oreo
The app I'm trying to run is airmon-ng via Termux, device is rooted by Magisk, and bootlock is unlocked.

IMHO to get to know all the drivers, you need to go through the /sys directory.

Thanks, that really helped, I checked /sys/module, and the driver (ath9k_htc) is there, then I checked lsmod, there is only one item:
Code:
gemini:/sys/module # lsmod
Module Size Used by
wlan 5801121 0
I think this is the one I added to the kernel, but is it a bit weird that there is no other loaded module?
And the usb wifi card is still not working, even I can see the device is showing in lsusb -t, the driver is not loading to the device.
I'm really out of ideas, can anyone please give some suggestions? Thanks!
@kdlsw
Loaded and hence currently running modules ( drivers ) are to be found in file /proc/modules

Here is what I see in there:
Code:
wlan 5801121 0 - Live 0x00000000000000 (O)
So it's definitely there, loaded. But the wifi card is still not working, I really don't have too much idea of how to proceed from this point.
The function I have selected from make menuconfig when compile kernel was called ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC, here it's wlan, is there something wrong? I checked the same wifi card plug into a desktop Debian, there is no module named wlan, the driver showed in lsusb is ath9k_htc.
And the offset of this being all zero seems not normal?
And it's the only one as not in tree external module, maybe external modules don't work? Should I try to compile it as in the tree?
Can you please point me some direction? What should I try from this point? Thanks
I finally got it working, what I did is to bind the driver to the usb device, and download a firmware for the device and put it in firmware' corresponding directory, I noticed it because there was an error message of loading firmware failed in dmesg when usb device is plugged. THANKS!!
