| Building the Mali Device Driver for Linux |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| |
| Build the Mali Device Driver for Linux by running the following make command: |
| |
| KDIR=<kdir_path> USING_UMP=<ump_option> BUILD=<build_option> \ |
| TARGET_PLATFORM=<target_platform> CONFIG=<your_config> make |
| |
| where |
| kdir_path: Path to your Linux Kernel directory |
| ump_option: 1 = Enable UMP support(*) |
| 0 = disable UMP support |
| build_option: debug = debug build of driver |
| release = release build of driver |
| target_platform: Name of the sub-folder in platform/ that contains the |
| required mali_platform.c file. |
| your_config: Name of the sub-folder to find the required config.h(**) file |
| ("arch-" will be prepended) |
| |
| (*) For newer Linux Kernels, the Module.symvers file for the UMP device driver |
| must be available. The UMP_SYMVERS_FILE variable in the Makefile should |
| point to this file. This file is generated when the UMP driver is built. |
| |
| (**) The config.h file contains the configuration parameters needed, like where the |
| Mali GPU is located, interrupts it uses, memory and so on. |
| |
| The result will be a mali.ko file, which can be loaded into the Linux kernel |
| by using the insmod command. |
