rPi Zero #51

Open mocallins opened 4 years ago

mocallins commented 4 years ago

Should this driver work on a Pi Zero (first edition) ?

The make runs, but has a couple warnings. I fibnally did get to comp8ile and load, after seeing the additional changes at the bottom of the README.md :(. But still didn't work.

Retried again today. but now doesn't load, but it wasn't the "exec ofrmat error"

I notice a discrepncy with the ARCH, mine shows armv6l (that's six el, not (1, one)

Hmmm i think the latest compile worked correctly, had to reinstal the kernel headers.

Make sure you edit the Makefile to select the right chip set and processor type. PiZero is only ARM v6, but I did happen to get this driver to work on ARM v7, RPi 3 B.
