Linux for Nios: flush_dcache_page undefined error

Altera_Forum · ‎11-12-2009

I am running make after using gconfig to enable MTD and JFFS2 support in the kernel, and MTD utilities in the user space. Followed the directions in section 4.4.3 of the Opensource_NiosII_Linux_User_Guide.

When make is run I get the following error

ERROR: "flush_dcache_page" [fs/jffs2/jffs2.ko] undefined!

make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2

make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Thought would be appreciated.

Thanks

It was a missing export of symbol.

Please don't build as modules. Modules doesn't work yet. Please change it to compile-in.

With help from dwesterg I found that MTD support was selected with [M] (Module) instead of

[*]. It was a dependancy of JFFS2 which was thus set to build as a module.

Thanks
