How could customer compile the network driver on the Yocto OS?

Hello,

While you build your kernel, you can enable the ethernet driver from menuconfig.

Lets say you want to use Linux Kernel v 5.0, once you have the kernel files already, you can use this command after setting the arch and cross compiler

make menuconfig

it will open the kernel configuration menu, you can go to device drivers and tweak the drivers needed. Terasic will help better in defining the needed driver for this.

if you want to compile a custom driver, you need to do this on the development linux machine, not the board it self, since this will take ages to finish if it is on board.

Thanks
