Hi, I am trying to backport usb2 to freebsd7.0. I have followed the instructions at http://www.selasky.org/hans_petter/usb4bsd/index.html and things work ok on the install until I get to the recommended make step for me to manually handle (printed out by your make file). Incidentally, your web site should say to build in the FreeBSD.usb2 directory, I think.
One complication is that I am crosscompiling with the tinybsd script - at least the target is an x86. I was held up for awhile because I missed the instruction echo'ed from the ..../FreeBSD.usb2/Makefile telling me to patch/change kmod.mk. Missing that causes the make to stop because usb2_if.h is missing. I had other build breakage due probably to kernel changes, so I just removed the build files for serial_xxx and storage_rio and wlan(_xxx) from /sys/modules/usb2/Makefile. Then, there are two backporting issues. The first looks pretty safe, I included the little finit routine into usb2_dev.c. That routine does not exist in FreeBSD 7.0. The other Issue I am not sure I have safely solved -- Apparently some extra info (file descriptor ptr) is tucked into struct thread called td_fpop. I could not tell what it is used for - it is stored to in the USB_VNOPS_FO_CLOSE macro, then fo_close is called, and then it is nulled. I just commented out both accesses to td_fpop - the fp is also passed to fo_close, so I don't think it is needed. Do you know of any issues around td_fpop? Thanks, and I am sure I will have some more rookie questions as I go forward, Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
