The module
class provides support for building
out-of-tree Linux kernel modules.
The class inherits the
module-base
and
kernel-module-split
classes, and implements the
do_compile
and
do_install
tasks.
The class provides everything needed to build and package a kernel
module.
For general information on out-of-tree Linux kernel modules, see the "Incorporating Out-of-Tree Modules" section in the Yocto Project Linux Kernel Development Manual.
