Arch Linux User Repository

@df8oe and others:

Upstream has now been fixed to work with kernel 6.1+, thus my patch below should no longer be required once the package is updated.

See: https://github.com/alexreinert/piVCCU/commit/b787f3d84b311bd3e07b0ca8f2aa63330030746e

@martimcfly: dkms already depends on linux-headers (it's an optional dependency, so you might have missed that).

Hey Alex!

Thank's for that great package! I didn't know kernel modules can be compiled during installation.

Just a little thing had been neccessary to make it work on Pi4 aarch64. I had to install 'linux-headers' to make dkms compile the modules. For the pi I was offered taking option 1) linux-aarch64-headers.

Could you please add 'linux-headers' as a dependency?

thanks!

I can confirm the patch of @kuchenblech works for me (kernel 6.1.3-2-rpi-ARCH), too. In addition I am running aarch64 architecture - you can add this architecture.

The package fails to build on the 6.1 kernel series. It works for me when applying this patch:

@dkadioglu Thanks, updated the patch.

At least on an RPi4, the build fails with 1.0.68-2. If I change kernel-5-17.patch in the following:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(5, 17, 0)
      struct generic_raw_uart_instance *instance = PDE_DATA(inode);
#else
      struct generic_raw_uart_instance *instance = pde_data(inode);
#endif

With this the build works with kernel 5.15.36 and the compiled module runs fine, as far as I can see.

You probably want to install eq3_char_loop-dkms as well.

Hi Alex, is there any information to build the lxc container on Arch? Everything I have found is based on apt/dpkg. I would like to add pivccu to my RPI3B+ on armarch64.... Modules are building fine.
