Can't download headers #31

Closed jimlynnjulian closed 6 months ago

jimlynnjulian commented 6 months ago

I'm using RPi 4B with kernal version 6.1.21-v8+. According to docs, the following command should download the headers.

I need the headers to compile an Exar driver for use with a solar charge controller from Epever: "sudo apt install linux-headers-rpi-v8"

How ever, the message returned is: E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-rpi-v8.

After several weeks of inactivity (powered down), the driver no longer is listed in: "ls /dev/tty*"

Any ideas?

My next move is to re-install the opsys. I've already done udate/upgrade.

I've been using: "sudo rmmod xr_usb_serial_common.ko" and: "sudo insmodxr_usb_serial_common.ko"

My reference page for the download is: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/linux_kernel.html

NOTE: At this point, the driver compiles and can be inserted/removed and is listed in 'lsmod' where the user is '0.' The driver, however, is not listed in 'ls /dev/tty*.'

Do I need to do something else?

Thanks.
