1 | # Overview # |
2 | ||
3 | This repository contains source code for the Intel kernel module distributed | |
4 | with MPSS 3.8.6 for the Xeon Phi x100 family (Knights Corner). It has been | |
5 | modified for compatibility with newer Linux kernels. | |
6 | ||
7 | Since this kernel module is tied to a fixed version of the MPSS software | |
8 | (v3.8.6) and thus doesn't need to chase a moving target on that end, rather | |
9 | than attempt to maintain one codebase for all Linux kernel versions, we instead | |
10 | target only a single Linux kernel version at a time. If you desire code | |
11 | compatible with older kernel versions, the last working version of the code for | |
12 | a given kernel version may be found tagged in git. | |
13 | ||

15 | # Status # | |
16 | ||
17 | Work in progress. Not yet functional. | |
18 | ||
19 | Tested on Debian 10.9 (buster) with Linux kernel 4.19.181-1. | |

22 | # Instructions # | |
23 | ||
24 | ||
25 | On Debian, install relevant packages for building a kernel (`build-essential`, | |
26 | `linux-headers-*`, etc). Then simply `make clean all` and load the resulting | |
27 | kernel module. |
