-
Locate the subdirectory of multimedia drivers for encoder, decoder and other helper chips as part of the NVIDIA overlay in (
{L4T-RELEASE}/kernel/nvidia/drivers/media/i2c/
). -
Add the driver source to the other present drivers
-
Makefile: Open the file
nvidia/drivers/media/i2c/Makefile
and add the following line:obj-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_LT6911UXC) += lt6911uxc.o
-
KConfig: Open the file
nvidia/drivers/media/i2c/Kconfig
and add the following entry:config VIDEO_LT6911UXC tristate "Lontium LT6911UXC decoder" depends on VIDEO_V4L2 && I2C && VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API help Support for the Lontium LT6911UXC HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 bridge. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called lt6911uxc.
After those steps, the driver module can be enabled in the menuconfig and the custom kernel including this driver compiled.
