I am going to build a driver to use displaylink in tegra tx2.
I tried native compile on tx2 ubuntu.
I have worked with the following links.
https://kubosj.wordpress.com/2017/09/22/displaylink-drivers-on-ubuntu-17-10/
I did not need to modify the code, so I skipped step 4 ~ 8.
In step 9, build error accurred.
“9. Install driver using ./displaylink-driver-1.3.54/displaylink-installer.sh install”
displaylink-driver-1.3.54# ./displaylink-installer.sh install
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.3.54 install script called: install

I have verified that there is an autoconf.h and auto.conf files.

The log says
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."
[b] I wonder where I should run it.
And, I wonder if there is another way to build the driver.[/b]
Please give me the solution!!
Thanks
Hi ludishur,
What is this driver used for?
displaylink homepage
They say
"
What is DisplayLink?
DisplayLink is a company with a unique graphics transport technology, which means expanding your visual workspace has never been easier or more affordable. Our technology makes it really easy to connect any display to any computer with USB or WiFi. It also provides a universal docking solution to any platform, enabling multiple displays, audio, Ethernet and other USB peripherals to be connected to PCs, Macs and tablets through the USB-A, USB-C port or wireless.
"
I want to send the screen through usb.
In fact, tegra uses different driver with x86 PC. Tegra has it own display controller (tegradc) for display probing, so this displaylink driver may have some problems…
OK, Thank you for your quick reply.
I understand that there seems to be a structural problem with display behavior.
But, I want to check if it works as expected.
Please give me some information about the build problem.
Again, thank you very much.
I get the same error on my pc, but it still builds without problems.

I think “autoconf.h and auto.conf” is not a point.
Looking at the rest of the build logs in native compile on tx2 ubuntu, I see the following message:

It seems that the “drm_dev_set_unique” and “drm_dev_set_unique” functions of the kernel code have been modified.
I will check that…
If you have any information or guide, please let me know.
Thank you.
Is it still an issue -to get DisplayLink driver at jetson tx2?
I cannot guarantee… Maybe you could try to build it and see if it’s compatible.
It seems they have 16.04+k4.4 supported.
