piCore-5.2alpha1

[Paul_123]

Driver is not fixed in 3.12.9 either.   

Currently running the 5.2 alpha core /w 3.12.9 kernel.

Driver updated in repo, please try

http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/5.x/armv6/tcz/wireless-3.12.7-piCore+.tcz.md5.txt

is a zero length file.   I downloaded manually and generated a md5sum for the file.

The tcz looks intact, but when I try to load the module, I get an invalid module format error.   That is what happens when I try to match modules that I compile with kernels that I didn't compile.

Fixed, please retry

Fixed, please retry

I'll give it a try tonight.....  What do you think the problem with the module was?

Our kernel version is 3.12.7-piCore+ but if you are compiling kernel in a clean source, it will be 3.12.7-piCore without trailing + which indicates 'dirty' or modified source which is the case of git cloned RPi kernel.

Hi bmarkus, how do you solve this naming problem?
If I define the name in the config file before compiling, is that the correct way to solve it?

I'm using the git cloned version. There is a script in the source tree which evaluates wether + is needed or not. It my help:

Note exactly for this case, but can be useful:

I understand the '+' or no '+'.   But how would the driver that you recompiled not matched your version of the kernel?

By accident built a wrong tree. Late evening.

Ok, I completely understand.   

[Paul_123]

when running tce-update, since I had extensions that were not on the repo, there were errors,  but the  error log /tmp/upgrade_errors.lst is empty.

The wireless kernel drivers updated appropriately.
