Building the UMP Device Driver for Linux ---------------------------------------- Build the UMP Device Driver for Linux by running the following make command: KDIR= CONFIG= BUILD= make where kdir_path: Path to your Linux Kernel directory your_config: Name of the sub-folder to find the required config.h file ("arch-" will be prepended) build_option: debug or release. Debug is default. The config.h contains following configuration parameters: ARCH_UMP_BACKEND_DEFAULT 0 specifies the dedicated memory allocator. 1 specifies the OS memory allocator. ARCH_UMP_MEMORY_ADDRESS_DEFAULT This is only required for the dedicated memory allocator, and specifies the physical start address of the memory block reserved for UMP. ARCH_UMP_MEMORY_SIZE_DEFAULT This specified the size of the memory block reserved for UMP, or the maximum limit for allocations from the OS. The result will be a ump.ko file, which can be loaded into the Linux kernel by using the insmod command. The driver can also be built as a part of the kernel itself.
