Go into your terminal and type 'sudo bash', then enter password 'ubuntu'. You will have a terminal with all root priveleges and file system ownership.
Create the directory build where the compiler is seeking it and place the makefile and any libraries in the build directory and then try the make command from there. It will at least try to compile. That was as far as I got because my particular example froze at like line 4700 or so in the compile. I am pretty rusty at this  and not sure if I have all the required dependancies in the install or what the problem is. But it took me quite a while to figure out that the compiler wanted the build files in the build directory and that I had to create it myself. Maybe you will have better luck with your module.

This driver is on my wish list (together with USB to RS232 converters based on Prolific pl2303 and FTDI  FT232R chips).
USB to RS232 converters based on CH34x chips are super cheap (~1.5 EUR/pcs on ebay) but doesn't work with some devices.

I tested them with following devices:
Works like charm with
- Cisco 2950 switches,
- Cisco 3550 switches,
- Cisco 1721 routers,
- Cisco 1751 routers
- Cisco 1760 routers 

Doesn't work with
- Cisco Aironet 1131ag AP
- Zyxel ES2108G switch.

There is seen output but only garbage characters.
Converters based on pl2303 and FT232R chips (the real ones not the fakes) works in all cases (but are several times more expensive then these cheap ones).

I think the best way would be if Longsleep would compile these modules and bundle them with kernel provided by himself so others can benefit from this in the future.

I have seen some thread where somebody else created a request for some driver and longsleep compiled it.
I'm going to find it and follow the instructions.

This I tested on my x86_64 PC. It seems that it is the same driver which longsleep added yesterday.

Could we get some sort of howto on compiling kernel modules with the tools available in longsleep's git repo?  I'm one of the few who has a 2gb Pine64 without the wifi/bluetooth modules.  I'm trying to get the brcm80211 module and some others compiled so that my 8188cus USB adapter works (as well as some others I'd like to test).

Pointing me in the direction of TFM would be great too. I'm currently using the Arch64 image without XFCE and all the additional stuff.

Bluetooth and wifi modules for usb would be sweet. I could put the wireless keyboard and mouse back with the computer I took it from and use a bluetooth one instead, and unleash this beast from the ethernet leash. Would make the system portable. I didn't buy the add-on modules for my 2 gig either.

 Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check out the ftdi drivers and try them with Melzi and Mks boards with pronterface and Arduino IDE.

Hi longsleep,

I was able to download the source code for '3.10.65-5-pine64' onto my Pin64.  From there, I modified the 'arch/arm64/configs/sun50iw1p1smp_linux_defconfig' file to add the line "CONFIG_USB_ACM=m".  Once I rebuilt the kernel and modules, I was able to insert the new cdc-acm.ko module into your 3.10.65-5 kernel on my Pine64 board and communicate with my external serial device.

It would be great to see the ACM module included in future builds.  Is there a way that I can contribute this change?  Both Linux and GitHub are relatively new to me, but I am willing to try.

Thank you.

Already done. See https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6...01f1178f37 - the next release will have it.

Sure, creating pull requests on GitHub is the way to go.

Awesome!  Thanks for including it.

OK, I will try that in the future.

I pushed a new Kernel build with more cleanups and more modules enabled. This release also backports crc32 optimized for arm64 from mainline, improving performance and cleans up lots of debugging. A possible breaking change for some might be that the audio codec sound driver is no longer built-in and now a module. See first post of this thread for details.

Get 3.10.65-7-pine64-longsleep-28 from https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/l...ges/linux/

Update like this (as root) on any of my images:
Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)
