| | | | | | | | | | | This kernel is not supported and is ancient. Many of the examples were referencing this kernel. I switched to use the 3.19 version. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | There was inconsistency on how we refer to a task name throughout the YP manual set. The proper way is "do_<taskname>". Some occurrences did not include the "do_" prefix.

* kernel-dev: Added new "Building Out-of-Tree Modules on the Target" section.Scott Rifenbark2014-06-181-100/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #3729] I have made an attempt at understanding this and creating a section that describes the steps the user needs to take in order to build out-of-tree modules on the target device when running an SDK image. I created a new section called "Building Out-of-Tree Modules on the Target". Basically, the user needs to be on the target and change to a directory and then create some scripts before attempting to build these types of modules on the target.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pointed out by Robert P. J. Day that I was using the wrong FILESEXTRAPATHS example for an append file. I failed to include the "_prepend" part of the variable. Also, the wording based on the example made some assumptions and was not entirely accurate. The changes I put in made the section very specific. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert P. J.
