It +could be built and installed with the following command: + +``` + cd tas5825m-module + make + make modules_install +``` + +The tricky part is to modify the device tree to get the board recognized by +the kernel.

The patch I use on my system is +[available](tas5825m-module/dts.patch), it should probably be adapted +depending on the system and the kernel version. I used the `dtc` tool to dump +the original device tree binary file into a source format, and later to +rebuild the binary version. It should be easier to use device tree overlays +but again I haven't looked at that yet. + ## Sources @@ -68,5 +87,5 @@ All the sources of the repository are available ## License -The contents of this repository is released under the -[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0)](LICENSE). +The contents of this repository, excluding the `tas5825m-module` directory, is +released under the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0)](LICENSE). |
