non-standard ISA card

[vivcha]

Hi to all! I'm newbie. My question:

There is an data acquisition ISA-card with ADC+DSP on board. May I use it with Tiny Core Linux on old PC (233 MHz, 64 MB RAM) and what need to do for it configuring? 

[curaga]

Are there linux drivers for it?

[vivcha]

Yes. Driver are in sources. Here some information from attached Readme-file:
"...
      kernel 2.4.x
      gcc 2.7.2 or higher
  <Enable loadable modules support>  during kernel assembling..."

Contained instructions for installing are typicall routine in first look.

Is it acceptably for TCL 3.3?

Since this looks to quite old, it may or may not compile for tc - the best way to know is to try and see 

[vivcha]

 During compilation process kernel-header are need:


error: linux/configure.h
error: linux/module.h
error: linux/kernel.h
error: linux/kmod.h

etc..

How they may be included?

Depending on the external kernel module you're trying to compile, you might be able to:

1. use just the linux-headers-2.6.33.3-tinycore extension

or

2. unpack the kernel source and use "make modules_prepare"

or failing that, you may have to compile the entire kernel source before an external module will compile
