Hi,
We’d like to use SDIO for WiFi.
For that, we’ve been trying to build the cfg80211 kernel module for WiFi adapter.
We noticed it was already enabled in the defconfig:
However, even though the module has been set to “m”, the final yocto image doesn’t contain the corresponding .ko:
Why doesn’t it show up?
Hi,
As of 2024Q1, loadable kernel modules are not being added automatically to the image - The customer should explicitly add the desired package to the image.
Please add to your local.conf\layer.conf the following line (assuming they’re building core-image-minimal):
IMAGE_INSTALL:append:pn-core-image-minimal = " kernel-module-cfg80211"
The result should be the generation of the target image with -
/lib/modules/5.15.32-yocto-standard/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
This behavior might change in future releases.
