R9000: How to develop a kernel module for stock firmware

[yugo]

Hey guys,

Voxel already explained me how to install a kernel module on the R9000 over telnet.

Now my question is how to compile a kernel module for the stock firmware.

In order to compile a kernel module I need the kernel, kernel config and header files.

So I searched for the source code of the stock firmware and found this link:
https://kb.netgear.com/2649/NETGEAR-Open-Source-Code-for-Programmers-GPL

And also the source code for R9000 firmware v1.0.2.40:
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/R9000-V1.0.2.40_gpl_src.tar.bz2

My question is now: Is this the source code for the stock firmware, which is installed on a R9000? Or is it for a custom firmware?

Stock. NETGEAR publishes stock GPL. You can create your modules using these codes.

P.S.
But do not try to flash firmware compiled from these GPL source codes (brick). Just for modules they are OK.

Thanks again Voxel, you are the best!

In the next days I will try to compile a simple kernel module.
If I have problems or questions I will come back here.

Till then I wish you the best Voxel
