Trouble finding .c drivers using root browser from Play Store

[Jordan Anderson]

I've had luck obtaining the drivers that I need for 7.1-rc2 on my RCA Cambio W101SA23T1 to work.

The Intel SST Audio device:

https://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/kernel/ci/21200ad10aba00943f9aa832fab04b8926dc7a52/tree/sound/soc/intel/sst-dsp.c

And the Goodix touchscreen. I found this version to have GDIX1002 already in it:

https://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/kernel/ci/android-x86-7.1-r1/tree/drivers/input/touchscreen/goodix.c

However when looking through the same directory in the root browser I got from Play Store, all I see are .ko files and not a single .c file anywhere else.

This is my only experience in kernel modification from inside the Android OS.

To compile the kernel using the drivers I downloaded would require 8GB RAM and a Ubuntu distro, as I read somewhere within this Google group. My tablet only has 2GB and my desktop workstation only has 4GB, but I'm not giving up.

You *can* do it with less (sufficient swap will be needed) - it'll just take a
while longer...

But Antony, I needed to replace the existing goodix.c with the one I downloaded.
