Installing Kernel Sources
To build the TI USB driver you must have the matching kernel sources for your kernel.
To verify that you have matching kernel sources:
1.
Run "uname ‐r" to get the version of the running kernel.
2.
Check for the directory /usr/src/linux‐<version>, /lib/modules/<version>/source,
/lib/modules/<version>/build, or /usr/src/linux‐<stripped_version>, where stripped_version has the extra
version information removed.
/lib/modules/<version>/build, or /usr/src/linux‐<stripped_version>, where stripped_version has the extra
version information removed.
3.
In these directories look for the files include/linux/autoconf.h and .config.
If you do not find the correct kernel source directory, you must find and install the kernel sources from your
distribution CDs or other media.

Preparing Kernel Sources
This step may or may not be necessary, depending on how your Linux distribution installs the kernel sources.
Log in as root and do the following:
Command
Explanation
1. cd /usr/src/linux‐<version>
Change to the source directory.
2. make mrproper
Clean up any old files.
3. Use either of these commands:
make oldconfig
‐OR‐
make cloneconfig
Make a configuration file to match your
running kernel.
running kernel.
for Red Hat
for SUSE
For other distributions these same commands
might work, or you might need to find a
config file in /boot or in a configs directory,
copy it to .config, and run "make oldconfig".

4. make dep
Create the dependency and version files.
If you have built your own kernel, the kernel sources are already be installed and prepared. If you are using a
kernel that came with a Linux distribution, it can sometimes be difficult to get the kernel sources correctly
installed and prepared, since each Linux distribution handles kernel sources slightly differently.

For example, if you get errors about the wrong kernel version, you may have installed the wrong kernel sources,
or you may need to edit the kernel version in the top level Makefile of the kernel sources. If you get compilation
errors, perhaps you forgot to run "make oldconfig" and "make dep".

If you have difficulties, look carefully at the error messages when installing the TGZ or RPM packages‐‐those
messages should give you an indication of just what the error is.
