Hi,

 

We downloaded the driver file from https://static.tp-link.com/2018/201805/20180521/TP-Link_Driver_Linux_series7_beta.zip 

We want to cross compile the driver for our device using our cross compiler toolchain "arm-fslc-linux-gnueabi-".

 

So, first I downloaded the kernel source code for version "4.14.78" from github.

Then I was able to compile the kernel source code using our cross compiler tool chain "arm-fslc-linux-gnueabi-"

 

I used the installation guide for reference. There was no entry for IMX6 device configuration in the “Makefile”.

So I decided to add the below configuration in the "Makefile".

 

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_IMX6 = y
 

 

 

ifeq ($(CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_IMX6), y)

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wall

ARCH := arm

CROSS_COMPILE := /opt/fslc-framebuffer/2.6.2/sysroots/x86_64-fslcsdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-fslc-linux-gnueabi/arm-fslc-linux-gnueabi-

KVER  := 4.14.78

KSRC ?= /home/ubuntu/WORK/IP7/wifi-adapters/kernel-source/src/linux-4.14.78/

Endif

 

But when I used the "make clean" and "make" command, I get a lot of compilation errors mentioned below.
