Compile custom kernel modules

[simonswine]

I'd like to make use of custom kernel modules. Has anyone managed to cross compile working modules. That's my try so far, but I am not able to load the modules

Ok it finally worked for me. Now able to mount a USB pen drive:

If you want to try the binary modules you can find them here:

Let me know how it goes

[simonswine]

Speed could be quicker:

root@rockrobo:/media/usb0# dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/usb0/testfile bs=1M count=1024 oflag=direct
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 73.8829 s, 14.5 MB/s

I have tried to compile some drivers for USB-Cameras (UVC), and wanted just to share that its currently not possible - see my comment here : https://github.com/simonswine/rockrobo-kernel/issues/1
