Hot to compile a kernel module?

[regsd]

I am using ARMBIAN Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 4.6.3-cubox on  SolidRun HummingBoard-i2eX Dual SoC i.MX6 Dual Single Board Computer.

 

I have an USB 3.0 controller attached to the board (via a PCI slot). As far as I know, xhci_hcd has to be compiled for the controller to function properly. In the default installation, xhci_hcd is disabled (   /boot/config-4.6.3-cubox says: "# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD is not set").

 

Do I have to setup a complete build environment as descried here http://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ or I can just somehow compile the module on the board itself? Where exactly do I get the sources from?

 

 

Thanks

AFAIK yes. If you not in a rush, I added this and will soon push out a small update & this can be a part of it.

Thank you, Igor. If you are adding the capability to build individual kernel modules on the board, I can definitely wait for a few days.

Are there any news?
