Hello Otavio,
If I set the drivers to be added as built-in, does that mean that the driver would be
installed and loaded in the kernel? I ran "lsmod" and didn't see the bluetooth
driver loaded. Am I missing something here?
"lsmod" lists only loaded kernel modules (.ko files under
/lib/modules/<kernelversion>). If you enable a driver as built-in, it
will be statically compiled in the kernel and won't show on "lsmod".
Better way is to look in boot messages (dmesg) to see whether the
drivers is initialized.

I would like to the generic USB bluetooth driver "btusb" to my i.MX6Q SABRE SD, so that
my USB Bluetooth dongle(Cambridge Silicon Radio). Upon reading
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-100847 I enabled the Bluetooth subsystem support, RFCOMM,
BNEP, and HIDP, as well as the HCI USB driver. I saved the .config file and copied it to the
directory where my Linux recipe is (linux-imx_3.10.17.bb). I then renamed my .config file into
defconfig, made a new folder called "files" and placed the defconfig in it. I also made a
.bbappend file that contained
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
I then ran "bitbake -c cleansstate linux-imx", after that I ran "bitbake fsl-image-x11". I flashed
the resulting .sdcard file to an SD card, booted up my board, but found no trace of btusb. I tried doing "bitbake
-f -c compile linux-imx" and then "bitbake -f -c deploy linux-imx", and copied the resulting uImage to
my SD card's /media/Boot folder, but still no trace of btusb. I checked the tar archive for the kernel modules found in
the /tmp/deploy/images/imx6qsabresd folder, and found two files called modules.order and modules.builtin, the btusb
driver is listed in the modules.builtin file, but not mentioned in the modules.order file, I have also tried compiling
the driver as module, and then ran the same commands as listed in the said link, but could not find the module. What am
I doing wrong here? Any help will be will be appreciated, since I am new to Linux and the Yocto Project.
You might have made it built-in, no? in this case no module will be
generated but it will be included in the kernel.
