4.1. Agency user applications (usr)¶
In addition to the contents defined in the rootfs, additional applications can be built and deployed in the
agency/usr/
directory. Such applications are specific to the agency and do not belong to any external packages.
4.1.1. Development of modules and deployment¶
Kernel modules can also be compiled in the usr/module/
directory according to the platform as defined
in the agency/build.conf
file.
The modules are automatically deployed in the root/
home directory of the target rootfs
.
The insmod
application can then be used from the agency shell in order to load the module
into the kernel.
A module can be helpful for testing purposes, for example to test kernel functionalities.
