# Building and Install <a name="building"></a>
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies:
|
|
- make
|
|
- gcc
|
|
- linux-headers
|
|
- dkms (Only when using this module with DKMS functionality)
|
|
|
|
## Warning when installing the module:
|
|
|
|
Use either method only. Do not combine installation methods, such as starting with the build step below and proceeding to use the same build artifacts with the DKMS module. Otherwise the module built via dkms will fail to load with an `exec_format` error on newer kernels due to a mismatched version magic.
|
|
|
|
This is why the DKMS build step begins with a `make clean` step.
|
|
|
|
For convenience, on platforms where DKMS is in use, skip to the DKMS section directly.
|
|
|
|
## Clone the Git Repo:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard.git
|
|
|
|
cd tuxedo-keyboard
|
|
|
|
git checkout release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build the Module:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make clean && make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The DKMS route:
|
|
|
|
### Add as DKMS Module:
|
|
|
|
Install the Module:
|
|
```sh
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
sudo make dkmsinstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Load the Module with modprobe:
|
|
```sh
|
|
modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Uninstalling the DKMS module:
|
|
|
|
Remove the DKMS module and source:
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo make dkmsremove
|
|
|
|
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/tuxedo_keyboard.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Using <a name="using"></a>
|
|
|
|
## modprobe
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
modprobe tuxedo_keyboard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Load the Module on boot:
|
|
|
|
If a module is relevant it will be loaded automatically on boot. If it is not loaded after a reboot, it most likely means that it is not needed.
|
|
|
|
Add Module to /etc/modules
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo su
|
|
|
|
echo tuxedo_keyboard >> /etc/modules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default Parameters at start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, we start the kernel module with the following settings:
|
|
|
|
- mode 0 (Custom / Default Mode)
|
|
- red color for the left side of keyboard
|
|
- green color for the center of keyboard
|
|
- blue color for the right side of keyboard
|
|
|
|
Note that we write it's settings to a `.conf` file under `/etc/modprobe.d` named `tuxedo_keyboard.conf`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo su
|
|
|
|
echo "options tuxedo_keyboard mode=0 color_left=0xFF0000 color_center=0x00FF00 color_right=0x0000FF" > /etc/modprobe.d/tuxedo_keyboard.conf
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo cp tuxedo_keyboard.conf /etc/modprobe.d/tuxedo_keyboard.conf
|
|
```
|
