Hi All,

My question is directed at those with kernel compiling experience.

 

I have a driver source xxxxx.c file and a Makefile with it.

I want to recompile the kernel to include the driver and rebuild the initrd.img.

Where do I copy the file in the kernel sources?

I currently have it in a sub folder of the drivers directory in the kernel source folder.

There is one more question if I may, it does not have a xxxx.h (header file) do I need it? The driver does compile perfectly without it. But I am not sure if I need to compile it into the kernel?
