kernel install

[mighty69]

hi all,
i'm working on a project that uses servo motors from adafruit and i've found a kernel that helps to manipulate them.
only problem is i know nothing about kernels.
i've downloaded it onto the pi using

Code: Select all

tar vfxz OccidentalisV02Kernel.tgz

but now i have no idea what to do with it.
i thought i extracted it. seems like all the content is in a tmp folder in my working directory, but how do i go about manipulating the code? the tutorial says i should be able to find the files in /sys/class/rpi-pwm/pwm0/ but that can't be found.

That was the command to extract the files. Since the 'v' option was used I guess it printed out a list of files. That list would be interesting to see. You can also list the files with "tar ztf OccidentalisV02Kernel.tgz".

This guy has created a little script for installing the kernel it seems.

This is on the Adafruit website at https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ras ... s-v0-dot-2#
At the bottom of that page:

We also have a Kernel+Modules tgz file, after you've copied this over to your pi, run the following commands
tar -zxvf mykernel.tgz
sudo cp tmp/kernel.img /boot/
sudo cp -R tmp/modules/lib/* /lib/
rm -rf tmp

Gr.
Dirk.
