Rejoice, Linux kernel newbies. Last week, I hacked an Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel, but the hack didnโt work; it turns out that the driver I chose isnโt used in my native Linux image on my PC. This week, I tackled the problem again, with success! And if I can do it, you can, too.
Iโve gotten all of my Christmas shopping done early, so I managed to make some time for exploring our ScanWorks test tool. Iโm taking a โnewbie approachโ to using the tool, initially for hacking around with boundary-scan test. Thereโs some pretty cool technology here.
This week, I decided to do a deeper dive into the Linux kernel, actually compiling and installing a new version on my PC. Iโm in hackerโs paradise.
This past week, I tried a few more things to get my AMD PC to successfully build a bootable Linux image for my MinnowBoard. Then, I got my hands on a Microsoft Surface Pro.
Itโs been a few months since I did any work with my MinnowBoard; time seems to fly by during the summer. In this episode, I pick up where I left off, doing various Yocto builds as I worked towards source-level debug of the Linux kernel. But, Iโm having mysterious build failures, with some of the segmentation fault symptoms I had months ago before I RMAโed my AMD CPU. Could this be raising its ugly head again?
