-While it is always preferable to work with sources integrated into the Linux
-kernel sources, if you have need of an external kernel module, the hello-mod
-recipe is available as a template to create your own out-of-tree Linux kernel
-module recipe. It is available in the poky repository at:
-
-        meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod/hello-mod_0.1.bb
-
-To get started, copy this recipe to your layer and provide it with a meaningful name, such as
-mymodule_1.0.bb. In the same directory, create a directory named "files" where
-you can store any source files, patches, or other files necessary for building
-the module which do not come with the sources. Finally, update the recipe as
-appropriate for the module. Typically you will need to set the following
-variables:
-
-        o DESCRIPTION
-        o LICENSE*
-        o SRC_URI
-        o PV
-
-Depending on the build system used by the module sources, you may need to make
-adjustments. For example, a typical module Makefile will look much like that
-provided with hello-mod:
-
-        obj-m := hello.o
-
-        SRC := $(shell pwd)
-
-        all:
-                $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC)
-
-        modules_install:
-                $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_SRC) M=$(SRC) modules_install
-        ...
-
-The important point to note here is the KERNEL_SRC variable. The module bbclass
-class sets this, as well as KERNEL_PATH, to ${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR} with the
-necessary Linux kernel build information to build modules. If your module
-Makefile uses a different variable, you may want to override the do_compile()
-step, or create a patch to the Makefile to work with the more typical KERNEL_SRC
-or KERNEL_PATH variables.
-
-After you have prepared the recipe, you will likely want to include the module
-in your images. To do this, see the documentation for the following variables in
-the Yocto Project Reference Manual and set one of them as appropriate in your
-machine config file:
-
-        MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS
-        MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS
-        MACHINE_EXTRA_RDEPENDS
-        MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS
-
-As modules are often not required for boot and may be excluded from certain
-build configurations, the following allows for the most flexibility:
-
-        MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "kernel-module-mymodule"
-
-Where the value is derived by appending the module filename without the .ko
-extension to the string "kernel-module-".
-
-As it is an RRECOMMENDS (and not an RDEPENDS) variable, the build will not fail
-if this module is not available to include in the image.
