Unable to compile uinput module on cRIO 9030

[BradM]

How did it fail? What did the console show?

Just re-read your post, yes, using the default (for all x86_64) config will likely fail.

3 linux pignuins after the grub bootloader

but I could do nothing...

If you did step 15 (make nati_x86_64_defconfig) this will get you the configuration we use for shipping. Note that you do need to checkout the correct branch after cloning the repo

[Biebel]

I'll try again, because somehow the nati_x86_64_defconfig file failed in my previous attemt.
Now I'm compiling starting from this defconfig..

Keep you updated when ready!

Thanks,

HI all,

Just builded the Kernel succesfully with uninput, HIDRAW and evdev integrated.

The CVS-1458 starts with the new kernel; and i'm able to install the drivers from eGalax without any error.

Because I did this all with SSH and I'm home now, I can't test the touch panel itself

Tomorrow, I'll go to the office to test because I'm excited!

Progress! it'd be great if you could do a quick writeup or at least mention whatever adjustments to the instructions I cobbled together to help others

[Biebel]

Just went to the office, and got dissappointed

Touchscreen doesn't work at all

and NI-Max doesn't see the CVS, and the test VI I made before doesn't launch automatically..

the good thing though is that I've still access with SSL

Which deamon needs to be enabled to see the CVS back into MAX?

(when I do a save reboot, it shows up in max, in normal boot not)

I tried following:

-started in safe mode

-CVS is visible in MAX

-formatted the CVS (in max), installed default software again

-started from scratch a new kernel build (with the options necessary for the ETouch)

-after booting, CVS doesn't show up anymore in MAX

-still touch problem...

Hil all,

Finally, my touchpanel works!!

According to their manual (eGTouch Linux Programming Guide v2.5H) I had to change some items in:

/SourceCode/drivers/input/evdev.c

/SourceCode/drivers/input/mousedev.c

/SourceCode/drivers/input/joydev.c

with menuconf, I had to add the uinput, evdev and hidraw module and to remove the standard USB touch screen driver

After that, I compiled the kernel according the procedure as written before.

I could install the eGTouch drivers from their website.
When you start the deamon (eGTouchD, you get a error message that the libasound2 is not found.
With opkg install libasound2, I managed to download those

after restarting, the touch works.

BUT NOW:

-how can I activate the MAX connection again?
-the CVS linux realtime is not visible anymore in MAX?

Regards,

Bruno

Some more info:

in the messages logfile, it gives a failre on the nikal not being found.
After digging, I found I can use the updateNIDrivers; which gives me following error:

admin@NI-CVS-1458RT-01AE0DF7:/usr/local/natinst/nikal/bin# ./updateNIDrivers

I have to say that the in the modules folder which is created with the kernel, the natinst folder was missing.
So I copied the natinst folder from the previous kernel... and now it says that is not ok.

Do I maybe have to check a module in menuconfig for the nikal?
