Building the Console Driver for Linux Kernel 2.2.x
S1D13704
X26A-E-004-02
Note
Follow the steps below to construct a copy of the Linux operating system using the
S1D13704 as the console display device. These instructions assume that the GNU devel-
opment environment is installed and the user is familiar with GNU and the Linux operating
system.
1. Acquire the Linux kernel source code.
2. Unzip the console driver files.
3. Copy the console driver files to the build directory.
Before continuing with modifications for the S1D13704, you should ensure that you can
build and start the Linux operating system.
You can obtain the Linux kernel source code from your Linux supplier or download
the source from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org.
The S1D13704 reference driver requires Linux kernel 2.2.x. The example S1D13704
reference driver available on www.erd.epson.com was built using Red Hat Linux 6.1,
kernel version 2.2.17.
For information on building the kernel refer to the readme file at:
Using a zip file utility, unzip the S1D13704 archive to a temporary directory. (e.g.
/tmp)
When completed the files:
should be located in the temporary directory.
Copy the files
to the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/video.
Copy the remaining source files
into the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/video replacing the files of the same name.
