Installation
We will build and install the driver using DKMS.
Preparation
If not already done, download and unzip the driver source directory:
wget https://github.com/taudac/taudac-driver-dkms/archive/taudac-2.2.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf taudac-2.2.2.tar.gz
Now copy the driver source to a directory where DKMS can find it:
sudo cp -r taudac-driver-dkms-taudac-2.2.2 /usr/src/taudac-2.2.2
Install the build dependencies:
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
Installing the Kernel Headers
To build the driver, we will need to install the kernel headers. The way to do it depends on the distribution you are using.
The Raspbian way:
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
Please be patient, "Unpacking raspberrypi-kernel-headers" might take an hour or so...
The Volumio way:
sudo volumio kernelsource
Installing the driver
To build and install the driver using DKMS do:
sudo dkms install -m taudac -v 2.2.2 --force
Uninstalling the driver
The driver can be uninstalled using DKMS with:
sudo dkms remove -m taudac -v 2.2.2 --all
Configuration
