Dear all, 

I want to install the device driver for a TI battery monitor - BQ76PL536A. 
The role of a battery monitor is to measure batteries voltage and do few 
other things. 

The code is hosted here : https://github.com/tommessick/bq76pl536 . It has 
Makefile and some instructions. The author also says he has tested it one 
Beaglebone black, but with Ubuntu. 

I am using debian: *uname -a*
Linux beaglebone 4.4.9-ti-r25 #1 SMP Thu May 5 23:08:13 UTC 2016 armv7l 
GNU/Linux

Will this device driver work with Ubuntu only ? If yes, what should I do to 
install the driver ?

 I have tried running the Makefile as is, also tried giving "KERNELDIR" = 
/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.9-ti-r25 , which is the location of the current 
kernel headers, and I have tried using gcc to compile, all without success, 
on my current setup, on the BBB. 

Seems like there is some mention of cross-compilation, which means I need 
to do this on linux PC, (with Ubuntu). Does this require a 
cross-compilation setup compulsorily ?
