Revision as of 15:31, 12 May 2008

this is an example kernel module that will blink the onboard LED connected to GPIO F0 (source)

Usage

#tar zxvf ledblink.tar.gz
#cd ledblink
#make KERNEL_SRC=/home/foo/bar/hammer/linux-2.6.22

this will generate the ledblink.ko file which can be transfer to your hammer and loaded using the insmod command

#insmod ledblink.ko
LED Blink Module Loaded
Dec 31 17:10:05 Hammer user.info kernel: LED Blink Module Loaded

to remove the module use the rmmod command

#rmmod ledblink.ko
LED Blink Module Unloaded
Dec 31 17:10:20 Hammer user.info kernel: LED Blink Module Unloaded
