MRF kernel modules not seeing hardware

["Daykin, Evan via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello,

 

On a new linux kernel 6.1.0-30-rt-amd64 installation, I am trying to install the mrfioc2 PCI kernel module by running the following:

 

sudo make KERNELDIR=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build modules_install

make -C /lib/modules/6.1.0-30-rt-amd64/build DRV_VERSION='3' M=/home/daykin/git/mrfioc2/mrmShared/linux modules_install

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-30-rt-amd64'

  INSTALL /lib/modules/6.1.0-30-rt-amd64/extra/mrf.ko

  DEPMOD  /lib/modules/6.1.0-30-rt-amd64

Warning: modules_install: missing 'System.map' file. Skipping depmod.

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-30-rt-amd64'

 

depmod -a && modprobe: <no output>

 

lsmod|grep mrf

sudo dmesg|grep mrf

[  508.671603] mrf: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

 

 

I have also tried uninstalling the mrfioc2 version and installing Jukka’s driver (https://github.com/jpietari/mrf-linux-driver) after some small modifications for the deprecation of HAS_UNLOCKED_IOCTL and ioremap_nocache, the module builds successfully but the module_load script also indicates it doesn’t see any EVGs/EVRs.

 

In both cases, the device files /dev/uio* or /dev/era* are not installed, and the output of lspci is as follows:

I’ve tried with multiple cards, including some known to be working on older installations and hardware. Is there something I’m missing?

 

Thanks,

Evan
