Unable to load a module on Freescale Embedded Linux envorionment

[nac3000]

Hi
I am trying to load a simple helloworld module built using Centos Linux (kernel version 2.6.9) in a freescale embedded Linux environment (kernel version 2.6.25)
I have enable "Loadable module support in Freescale Linux Kernel. I executeD the following command after coping the hello-1.ko file into the root folder .

insmod ./hello-1.ko

and I get the following error

insmod: cannot insert "hello-1.ko": Invalid module format.

Why do I get this error. following is my code snippet and the make file

/*
* hello-1.c - The simplest kernel module.
*/
#include <linux/module.h> /* Needed by all modules */
#include <linux/kernel.h> /* Needed for KERN_INFO */

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");


int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world 1.\n");

/*
* A non 0 return means init_module failed; module can't be loaded.
*/
return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}



make file

obj-m += hello-1.o

all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

can anybody help me on this.
thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I'm not really an expert so this may be a silly question, but are you using a freescale compiler? You'd also need to build it against the freescale kernel headers, not the ones installed for CentOS.

Let us know how you get on
