Here the correct procedure to compile drivers to be used with 3.10.17-poky-edison+ (same procedure can be used for different/future versions of Poky).
1. Download Poky Headers
2. Copy it on Edison where you prefer (following procedure assume you are using your home: /home/root aka /)/usr and
3. Extract the DEB file with ar command:
ar x linux-headers-3.10.17-poky-edison_3.10.17-poky-edison-1_i386.deb
4. deflate data.tar.gz with tar command:
tar x -f data.tar.gz
5. 2 new directory are created: /lib.
6. You need to solve the '+' issue (the kernel is "3.10.17-poky-edison+" while the Poky Header is "3.10.17-poky-edison")
edit the header file:
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.17-poky-edison/include/generated/utsrelease.h
change the line:
#define UTS_RELEASE "3.10.17-poky-Edison" with #define UTS_RELEASE "3.10.17-poky-Edison+"
7. now you need to link you kernel directory with the "build" directory where the make command can find the Poky headers (make look for '/lib/modules/3.10.17-poky-Edison+/build'):
cd /lib/modules/3.10.17-poky-edison+
Oance there create a sym link like this:
ln -s /home/root/usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.17-poky-edison build (<-- this create the link '/lib/modules/3.10.17-poky-Edison+/build' that point to the Linux-headres directory)
8. Compile your driver: simply copy the driver files into a folder in Edison, cd to the folder and run make
9. The compiler should output a .ko that is the compiled driver with the magic signature '3.10.17-poky-edison+' so you will be able to load it!
10. load the driver: insmod .ko
