Title: usbcore module
Post by: Kurvivor on September 03, 2015, 04:24:35 AM

Hello
I need following modules on my system:
usbcore, usbserial
While usbserial was successfully installed with tce-ab, i did not find usbcore there.
I have been checking it with `lsmod | grep usbcore`.

The system i am working on is (uname output):

Quote

Linux box 3.16.6-tinycore #777 SMP (...) i686 GNU/Linux

P.S. I need those modules to build a driver for usb-rs232/422/485 conversion device (moxa uport 1150).
In general, what do i need besides build toolss and kernel sources?

You did not specify TC version nor architecture :( Expect answer quality matching quality of the question.

Understood. I have added that information to question.
P.S. linux-kernel-sources-env.sh fails to execute correctly, sadly. tar fails to unpack sources archive

while I see this is an extra problem you've run into, let me check see why the script is no longer working as it used too..

Code: [Select]

+ wget -s -T 20 http://tinycorelinux.net/index.html
+ busybox wget -s -T 20 http://tinycorelinux.net/index.html
Connecting to tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80)
+ echo connection ok
connection ok
+ echo downloading linux-3.16.6-patched.txz
downloading linux-3.16.6-patched.txz
+ wget http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release/src/kernel/linux-3.16.6-patched.txz
+ busybox wget http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release/src/kernel/linux-3.16.6-patched.txz
Connecting to www.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.37:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
+ [ ! -f /tmp/linux-3.16.6-patched.txz ]
+ echo download error
download error
+ sleep 3


maybe I need to update my copy..?  because the installed version I just checked has wrong or old address..

I'm wondering if usbcore isn't compiled into the kernel rather than as a separate module (there are so many usb kernel config entries that it is difficult to tell)?

Note that you can prepare the kernel sources manually rather than use linux-kernel-sources-env.sh

That should be ..6.x/x86... no?

In my case, it seems, corupted downloaded archive is to blame. Something is downloaded, but tar fails to extract from it.
If i understand correctly, replacing sources archive in /tmp with download from some other mirror (ibiblio for example) would b enough

If you "make modules" on the tinycore kernel source, it will create a file "modules.builtin", which contains "usbcore"

Disregard, was testing an old version..   The current version of linux-kernel-sources-env.tcz has previously been updated and works fine
