I Need help rebuilding the Kernel, and excluding built-in modules, on jetson nano

[still_sky_high]

I have wacom cintiq pro 13. Im trying to rebuild the kernel to exclude the built in wacom.ko, and wacom_8001.ko modules. The reason is because the built in modules wacom modules are out dated and dont work with my Cintiq. I use GitHub - JetsonHacksNano/buildKernelAndModules: Build the Linux Kernel and Modules on board the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit to rebuild a kernel, i use ./editConfig to customize the kernel, excludinging the modules in HID/ and Input/, then i save the config. as no-wacom.comfig, then rebuild the kernel. But i dont think the nowacom.config is used when building the kernel. 2-5 hours later after its finally finish if it didnt end with a error,i copy the new kernel to the boot folder, reboot. i then clone https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source, run ./configure, the run make && make install, then it say the wacom is built-in in my kernel config, but i though i told it not make them built in with the config.

any help would be greatly appreciated. ill put terminal outputs in a little while.

Some base information might be useful for you…

Every kernel results in a version which you can see via “uname -r”. Module files are always searched for within “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/”. If the base kernel is compiled with a different “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION”, then that version changes, and so does the search location for modules.

Some features are directly added to the kernel (and in fact most are), and are not in the format of a separate module. During configuration the “y” for “yes” puts a feature directly in the base kernel, and not as a module. The “m” creates a module. If you were to go to “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/”, and then find a module, followed by moving it elsewhere, or gzip of the file to change its name, then the module would not load and the feature would essentially become “n” (for “no”).

If you want to see what the kernel feature mix is on the Jetson, then you could run:

zcat /proc/config.gz

To specifically see what you have with “wacom” in the name:

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i "wacom"

On one system (not a Nano, but a TX2) I see:

# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i wacom
# CONFIG_TABLET_SERIAL_WACOM4 is not set
# CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_W8001 is not set
# CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_WACOM_I2C is not set
CONFIG_HID_WACOM<b>=y</b>

This tells me there are no “.ko” kernel module files involved and that the feature is integrated. You can remove the feature, but this is not done via a module. Adding a feature is a separate step once this is removed.

The “uname -r” of this system is “4.9.140-tegra”. This means that the “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION” was set (within the kernel configuration, prior to compile) as “-tegra”. If I wanted to remove the wacom parameter, then I’d need to rebuild the base kernel, and not modules. I would reuse all of the original modules, as there is no reason to rebuild everything since wacom is not a module. In order to reuse the existing modules I would make sure my “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION” remains as “-tegra”, and the only config change (after I have “/proc/config.gz” uncompressed and named “.config” in the kernel source build) would be to change this config item:

CONFIG_HID_WACOM<b>=n</b>

Then I would build the “.ko” kernel module from the external source you really want. A simple file copy to the right location, and an “sudo depmod -A” (or reboot) should put your module in place (the “=n” does not disable a feature, but instead simply chooses to not build the module…your module in the correct location will still work).

In the kernel source the Wacom driver for HID is under “drivers/hid/”, and so the traditional place to put the module would be here:

/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/<b>drivers/hid/</b>

Summary:

1. Use the existing configuration by copying "/proc/config.gz" somewhere safe.
2. Wherever you compile your source, copy the "config.gz" to the top level directory.
3. Unpack:

   gunzip config.gz
   mv config .config
   

4. Edit ".config", and if your "uname -r" ends in "-tegra", then edit:

   CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-tegra"
   

   (this “.config” replaces any “make something_defconfig”)

5. Use your favorite kernel config editor and disable the Wacom feature with "=n" (my favorite editor is "make nconfig" since it can search for symbols, e.g., it can go straight to "CONFIG_HID_WACOM").
6. Build the kernel, and ignore modules. Assuming you compile natively
7. At this point the Image file is what you want since it has no Wacom in it.
8. Follow instructions for adding the new Image file and reboot. Verify your "uname -r" has not changed...if it has, then modules will fail since search is now in the wrong location.
9. At this point your system is running normally other than not having the Wacom driver. Verify the CONFIG_HID_WACOM is now "=n":

   zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i "wacom"
   

10. Follow your instructions for building only the Wacom driver as a ".ko" module.
11. Copy the ".ko" file to "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hid/".
12. Run "sudo depmod -A" or reboot (or both).
13. Verify the ".ko" file is visible:

    lsmod | grep -i wacom
    

NOTE: If you build the base kernel Image file, and “uname -r” changes such that it has an extra “+” on the end of the “uname -r”, then you can "get rid of the pesky “+”. If you have this issue, then in the kernel source find “scripts/setlocalversion”. Then edit this file, find function “scm_version()”, and make sure it forcibly returns prior to getting a chance to append the “+”:

scm_version()
{
        local short
        short=false
        **return**

Sorry, for going M.I.A, but i have just been really busy. But after doing alot of digging, i realised that all ubuntu derivatives have the same issue it seems, from pop-os linux mint, xbuntu, etc, regardless up the distro. The input-wacom, and linuxwacom are out of date, and updating them seems to be a pain, because of missing dependencies, or those dependencies in ubuntu repos are out of date. This makes compiling linuxwacom driver difficult. i tried what you suggested, but it kept outputting the same error. I will post he error later today, after i get off work. But i was able to recompile the kernel with the new input-wacom source files, but i havent tested the new image. I bought a 3rd nano to help speed up this whole process. And installed barrier to server as a kvm, so testing can go alot smoother. Because i ranned into alot of road blocks and issues. Ill post more info later when i get home, its the weekend so i have time to work on it. Thanks linuxdev

Im currently trying to make a script to auto the process and add the source file to build a new kernel image, and install everything thing else. this is a hea

[linuxdev]

NOTE: To see your current L4T release use “head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release”. Also, I substitute “$(uname -r)” in places below, but for you this is the same as “4.9.140-tegra”. You will maybe use that information as you work, e.g., in a kernel config item “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION”, the “-tegra” suffix implies “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=-tegra”.

Changing the actual Xorg X11 server release is problematic, but from what I see you shouldn’t need to worry about it. The configure warns about releases prior to 1.7, but you can verify your version is more recent with:

egrep 'X.Org X Server [0-9]' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

There are, however, two issues you do need to consider. The file “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source” would normally by a symbolic link pointed to “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build”, and this in turn would point at the kernel source which is configured to match your currently running system. This is rather long, but it explains how to set up the full kernel source on the Jetson and to configure that source:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1047880/jetson-tx1/mount-network-folder-samba-cifs/post/5322451/#5322451

If you place your full kernel source into the Jetson, and need to figure out the symbolic links, just ask. The “source” and “build” symbolic links are not actually used for boot, and so having these wrong won’t in any way risk boot problems (some application builds require kernel headers, and others require full kernel source, and it looks like your build wants kernel source with a symbolic link pointing at more than just headers).

The most recent R32.3.1+ release may already have kernel headers, but if you need full source, then you may still need to follow the above paragraph to install not just headers, but full source. I don’t know if R32.3.1+ release has added a “.deb” package method to add full source, but I do know the above will work, and that even if source is installed, then you will still want to configure that source to match your running system. Even if you use a package based kernel source install you would still need to configure it.

The second problem is:

*** You requested to build wacom with configure, but wacom is configured as built-in in your kernel config. Stop.

Once you have fully configured the source, then you could remove the built-in configuration for the Wacom, and then reconfigure it as a module, e.g., via taking a previously matching config and using “make nconfig” from the source directory to change only that item while keeping the rest of the config the same.

Make sure you follow the instructions for placing the new Image on your version of the Nano or the system may not boot. You could leave out the new Wacom tablet module for now and this shouldn’t prevent boot, and then when you build the module against that source it will just be a file copy and it should work.

NOTE: Official docs show how to cross compile from a host PC. This would also work. In that case you would still configure your kernel source to match the running system, then use a config editor to remove the built-in Wacom feature, and change it instead to module format. Then you could cross compile the third party Wacom module against that.

If you want to know more about modules versus integrated kernel features, then see this (not necessary, but you might find it useful):

i want to provide some more log info. i used the kernel to build the modules, this is the output of dmesg and syslog kern.log, when my cintiq pro us plugged up.

seems like it recognized it as a input but no modules are loaded that were built from the kernel. but i was able to get it to make the modules externally. so i will try to build a image and see if i can try to get the newer modules built from source. but im also wonder if the xserver/ xserver-input-wacom, could also be causing part of the problem

could gdm on my jetson nano be one of my problems? because seems like it doesnt know what to do with it. the tablet, nor does it seems to comprehend what anything really is, while kali linux sees the different parts of the tablet, loads and loads the modules just fine

[linuxdev]

USB appears to do what it is intended to do. Actual driver install is up to the kernel, and if the driver is in the form of a module, then you will see it listed by the command “lsmod” (integrated drivers won’t show up in lsmod). Do you see the module?

If all of the above is good, then X has the ability to use the device, but it isn’t up to the driver. This decision is from the X11 server, and the logs to this will show what is going on (if and only if lsmod shows the driver module is loaded). You can attach the log “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” and we can see what X thinks of the device. If you hover your mouse over the quote icon in the upper right of one of your existing posts, then other icons will show up. The paper clip icon is for attaching files (you might need to rename the log with a “.txt” suffix).

Just so you know, if you ran “make install” it probably won’t do what is expected on an embedded system. Typically you would do some manual steps instead since booting differs between a PC and embedded systems.

About this file: “/lib/modules/4.9.140-tegra/source/.config”: You should start by copying the running system’s unmodified “/proc/config.gz” “/lib/modules/4.9.140-tegra/source/”, gunzip it, rename it “.config”, and then edit the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION line:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-tegra"

Once this is in place, then you can configure with “make menuconfig” or whatever your favorite editor is for any changes you need. However, if your source is somewhere else, then the same “.config” needs to be at the alternate location.

Instead of “make install” you would end up looking for the “Image” file, and then copying it to “/boot/” (to become “/boot/Image”). Be very careful with this, because if it is incorrect, then your system will be unbootable and perhaps need to be flashed. Don’t ever throw out the previous Image file, keep it on your host PC somewhere. Keep a clone of the working system before doing this. Because procedures change from one release to the next, consider reading the kernel customization section of the documentation for that specific release before making any changes (for example, some content now needs to be signed to prevent the boot stages from rejecting the content, or if redundancy features are in use, this too can change procedures).

Once the kernel Image is in place the module itself will be a simple file copy somewhere within “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/”. Basically the location will be a mirror of where the “.ko” module is in the kernel source…and that will be somewhere under “drivers/” of the source.

NOTE: If you have the SD card release then it is a lot safer than changing a kernel Image with eMMC since you can just mount the card on the host PC and move the original Image back in place if it doesn’t work.

[still_sky_high]

So I think i figure out the first problem. My tablet isnt supported on kernel 4.9 but is supported on 4.12

https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Device-IDs

My Cintiq Pro 13 is supported by kernel 4.12 or later.

Is there anyway to update my kernel from 4.9 to 4.12?

[linuxdev]

At this point it would be easier to backport the driver to the 4.9 kernel (though this is not necessarily easy…if there is a driver dependency, then you probably have to backport that dependency…if that has dependencies, then those may need backporting, so on).

Someone from NVIDIA may be able to comment on whether 4.12 is being considered, but usually, even if this is planned, there wouldn’t be a specific date available.

NOTE: Usually the driver maintainer would be the one to ask as to his thoughts on difficulty of backporting to 4.9. He/she could probably tell you if there are dependencies in need of porting, versus if it is just the driver needing porting.

[still_sky_high]

Im going to try backporting it.

[still_sky_high]

Hey linuxdev, i managed to build the modules by ripping apart the makefile. but ranned into another problem which is installing them now. when i run “make install” as root, i get permission denied

any suggestions?

[linuxdev]

On embedded systems, and in a cross compile environment as well, you never want to just “make install”. This will attempt to put the modules directly into the running system. On the host PC you won’t boot with ARM modules. When compiling directly on a Jetson, in theory you could directly install a module, but it is usually a bad idea.

Instead, install to a specific output location you have set aside as temporary space. I don’t know which options you currently use, but I’ll mention:

• O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT
• INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$TEGRA_MODULES_OUT

Any time you go to build kernel source you should put all temporary output in a second temp location via first setting an environment variable (in my example I call it TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT), e.g.:

mkdir -p ~/kernel_build/out
export TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT=~/kernel_build/out
# Verify the variable is set up correctly:
echo $TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT
ls $TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT
# Now all build lines should include:
make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT ...more options...

If you’ve built within the actual kernel source, then you might clean it out with “make mrproper” and no “O=”. This also deletes any configuration in your kernel source, and any “.config” or manual configuration is then from the “$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT” directory.

Similar for “$INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$TEGRA_MODULES_OUT”. You could do this to create a temporary output location of “~/kernel_build/modules”:

mkdir -p ~/kernel_build/modules
export TEGRA_MODULES_OUT=~/kernel_build/modules
# Verify:
echo $TEGRA_MODULES_OUT
ls $TEGRA_MODULES_OUT
# Now you can install to $TEGRA_MODULES_OUT:
make O=$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$TEGRA_MODULES_OUT

After this is done you will have content in “~/kernel_build/modules”, but you’ll have to cd in to find the actual modules. Incidentally, before you build anything, you would want to verify your CONFIG_LOCALVERSION is correct, or else module install path may not preserve the original “uname -r” (which is part of the module search path and part of the module install path…if it changes from the previous kernel, then you may need to reinstall all content and not just one module). For example, if your editor happens to be “nano”:
nano $TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT/.config
…then search for “CONFIG_LOCALVERSION” and make sure it is:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-tegra"

If this is all correct, then you can simply copy one file manually to the mirror location of the “$TEGRA_MODULES_OUT”, e.g., your actual Jetson has directory:
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/
…and the install process would have:
~/kernel_build/modules/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/
…and somewhere in that directory tree is the file you want, and it would go under the mirrored subdirectory of the running system’s “/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/”.

So i managed to get get my wacom one tablet to work on my jetson nano, pressure sensitivity works and everything, my cintiq pro 13 oddly isnt work even though the cintiq is older. But now im trying to recompile the jetson xavier kernel, but i get these errors

i tried it on both my xavier and on pc

also get these errors in addition to the others ones

I do not know about the specific errors. However, when such things hit, the first thing I ask is if the configuration was changed with a valid method, e.g., with a configuration editor instead of directl .config or direct Kconfig edits? If dependencies are not met, then it is extremely likely that you will get a series of compile failures. Do know that you said you are recompiling the Xavier kernel, but this is a Nano forum, so I have to wonder if perhaps there is some sort of incorrect mix of configuration.

Do know that you should always start with an existing configuration, and then use a correct config edit tool to add or remove whatever you need. By what method did you set up the initial configuration, and which editing tool did you use? I tend to favor the editing tool “make nconfig”.

Also, if at any time you compiled something directly within the source code, then used the “O=/some/where/else” to set a temporary output location, then the previous compile will mix in and cause failure. If you are in the actual kernel source tree, then this exact command will clear it completely and make sure it is ready for building from a brand new start:
make mrproper

If you have a location for temporary build from “$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT”, then you can cd to “$TEGRA_KERNEL_OUT” and recursively delete everything before starting (you could leave the “.config” file if you want to save the config). The trick is that without a clean start it is hard to debug an error like the above. If we know this isn’t from a bad configuration or old leftover build content, then more debugging can be performed.

Updates…

so i after banging my head against the wall, i managed to get both tablets to work completely with pressure sensitivity working on my Xavier, im going to do the same thing for my Jetson nano also. I made a script to rip out everything wacom related from the kernel source, add -tegra to Local versions, afterward i compiled the external modules added them to /lib/modules/4.9.140-tegra/, next i updated the xf86-input-wacom and the libwacom and finally deleted the /lib/modules/4.9.140-tegra/modules.builtin, which was preventing the external modules to load. since it was looking for builtin drivers. after i did that everthing just worked as it expected.

Thanks for your help linuxdev, i wouldnt have been able to do it with out your help.

Im going to do the same process but build it into the Jetson Nano SD image. Thanks linuxdev
