linux-headers-6.6.78 to compile a driver inside the raspberry pi

[Guilherme]

I need to compile a driver on the raspberry my kernel is
6.6.78-current-bcm2711 I need to download linux-headers-6.6.78 can someone help

[Werner]

apt-cache search linux-headers

 

If not there, use the build framework to create your own set of kernel packages including headers: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

Try with:

 

sudo apt install linux-headers-legacy-bcm2711

I've tried this one and it didn't work because it returns saying that it's legacy and it didn't work see

Ah. I guess at time of installation 6.6.y was current but since 6.12 is now available as new lts it has been  moved to legacy. Therefore the name is different.

Simplest to get matching packages is IMHO using the framework to create a set of packages and install them via dpkg.

Yes, you need to install matching kernel and headers, otherwise it won't work. Remove CURRENT kernels by hand, install LEGACY and then proceed with headers installation. This will work.
