Hello everyone,

I am using the Yocto-based build system provided by NXP (primarily via the 
meta-freescale layer) to create Linux images for an i.MX 8M board and would 
like to develop small kernel modules without going through the build process of 
the entire image after each modification. Therefore, I would prefer to compile 
the kernel modules on the target architecture and have added the following 
items to the IMAGE_INSTALL variable via my local.conf:
- packagegroup-core-buildessential
- kernel-modules
- kernel-dev
- kernel-devsrc

I then tried to follow the the official build instructions ( 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/modules.html ) on the target but 
was unable to create a kernel module:
imx8mqevk:~# make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD
make: Entering directory '/lib/modules/5.4.47-2.2.0+g5ec03d06f54e/build'
CC [M]  /root/hello.o
In file included from ./include/linux/types.h:6,
from ./include/linux/list.h:5,
from ./include/linux/module.h:9,
from /root/hello.c:1:
./include/uapi/linux/types.h:5:10: fatal error: asm/types.h: No such file or 
directory
[...]
compilation terminated.

What am I missing here? Is there something else I have to do on the target 
before I can compile kernel modules on the target?

For the sake of completeness: The build is based on the Zeus release and the 
following repo manifest file:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest/tree/imx-5.4.47-2.2.0.xml?h=imx-linux-zeus

Thanks!
