When i do "make menuconfig" and i configure the some driver as "M"
during kernel compilation i am getting like this in one of the line (output during make)
LD drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o
I was not getting .ko files. Now the thing is when i loaded the kernel image on to board, How do i load this driver as i configured the driver as "M" during kernel config.
The .o files are the immediate output of the compiler. The linker ld links them together to make the modules, which do indeed have the .ko suffix. The command make or make all should do this automatically after the actual compilation. You will then need to do make modules_install to copy the modules to their final destination.
