What are the rules to use insmod in init.rc

[neeloor2004]

I am really straggling to load a kernel module module.ko in init.rc
What I did
1) I copied the module.ko to /etc
2) then in the init.rc I added the following line
insmod /etc/ module.ko (Or should I copy to /lib/modules ?)

it is not loading [I don't know how to debugg !]

but if I go to command line and type insmod module.ko is working
fine !

is there any way programetticly I can load module

Please help

Thanks

Try checking the kernel syslog messages to decode the error[may be via dmesg] and also enable Android logs via logcat to see what really happened...

with dmesg I am getting init: command 'insmod' r=-1, I don't know

Ok, I think you may have to copy your modules to /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers folders for insmod to work. It works for me from /lib folder.

Thanks a lot for the reply,

How you copy files to /lib/modules, which script I have to modify [I can use adb push but, I want to know how to copy files at build time]

 

Thanks

How I have done is:

in init.rc --->
---------------------------
service module_name /system/bin/module_name/rc.module
oneshot
---------------------------

where /system/bin/module_name/rc.module is --->
---------------------------
#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/bin/module/module.ko
---------------------------

don't forget to add execute permissions to /system/bin/module_name/rc.module

Hi Amit ,

That did the trick, insmod in a script file is with execute permissions is working fine

 

Thanks a lot

I am not work.

I am using imx6 sabresd_6dq android 4.3. I add a echo in rc.module. Do not print out.

module_name is a folder?

my code:

init.freescale.rc

-------------------->

service helloworld /system/bin/helloworld/rc.module

oneshot

rc.module

----------------->

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /system/lib/modules/hello.ko

echo -e "~~~~debug insmod hello.ko~~~~~~ \a \n"

Thanks
