modding kernel and integrate new drivers on embedded linux
9 November, 2016 - 14:53
Hello everyone:
I will try to explain what I want to learn, so that the members of the forum can guide me or help.
I have a linux firmware for embedded systems and decompiled arm. These firmwares have are based on Uboot and have the following sectors:
Uboot
Bootscrip or environment variables (multimage)
Kernel (multimage)
Filesystem (squash)
Here is the binwalk logs:

I want to integrate some drivers into the kernel, but how do I do this?
How do I modify and integrate the new drivers?
I read mkimage, but I do not understand how you should modify both the kernel and the FS folder
I can remove 64bytes of header size, but I do not know how I have to manipulate the file since it is Uimage but it is also squashfile
