Cheers Rob for taking time out to reply.... I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help and support you are providing to us beginners.... I have solved so many of my queries by seeing your replies in other posts....
Back to where I was.... The whole point of this exercise was to start teaching myself device driver development.... And you are right, I have learned about how the linux distro for embedded systems is created.... Looks like it will be considerable work required to create a proper distro and that is not my target... So here is the new strategy.... I have downloaded and flash my BBB with latest debian image (Debian 9.3 2018-01-28). If my understanding is correct then to create loadable modules, I need kernel headers for this.... Could you be kind enough to guide me as where I can get it for Debian 9.3 2018-01-28.... Also a pointer on how to cross compile these loadable modules...
