Back in 2004, we make the following to compile
out-of-kernel modules. It worked.
Now, the kernel build doesn't "know" how to handle "asm.S"
files and always thinks a "name.o" file is the result of
a "name.c" file, so I can't buld them no matter how hard
I try!
What do I need to do????
#
# Project Makefile for kernel versions over 6
# Created 05-OCT-2004 Richard B. Johnson
#
VER := $(shell uname -r)
PWD := $(shell pwd)
all: driver
driver:
make V=1 -C /usr/src/linux-$(VER) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
rtc_hwr.o: rtc_hwr.S
as -o $@ $<
obj-m = rtc.o
obj-m += rtc_hwr.o
clean:
rm -rf *.o *.ko *.mod.c \.*.cmd
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/root/BCS/rtc/rtc_hwr.c', needed by `/root/BCS/rtc/rtc_hwr.o'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/BCS/rtc] Error 2
make: *** [driver] Error 2

kbuild has never (at least for a very long time) not
supported to implement a module only in assembler.
So you will have no luck trying to build the
module rtc_hrw.ko
What you can do is to define a module like htis:
obj-m := dick.o
dick-y := rtc.o rtc_hwr.o
This will properly build rtc_hwr.S => rtc_hwr.o

Yes, thanks. It works!
