Hi.I am trying to start on linux device drivers.
I am following the instructions on

Section 8.1.* Device Driver Concepts

Here I was able to proceed till patching the Kconfig as mentioned.Inorder to configure,I tried to run the

$ make ARCH=ARM CROSS_COMPILE=xscale_be- gconfig

This gave error as:

make: *** No rule to make target `gconfig'. Stop.


EarlierI was able to complie and build the kernel for arm before by cloning the kernel and building from the following link without any error.

https://omapzoom.org/gf/project/omap...ux+OMAP+Kernel

I havent configured the kernel except for the ARM as mentioned in the link above.I am not sure if that is wat is giving the problem.
