Hi, I just picked up an asus tinker board (rk3288) and it is running debian jessie on kernel 4.4.16, I am working on a wifi project and trying to compile/install the driver but I need the linux kernel headers to compile it. How can I install/link that? I am not very experienced with kernels and dealing with having to dig this deep.
<Sumo>
I am cloning the 'rockchip-linux/kernel' from github, is that on the right track? I see in /lib/modules/4.4.16 there are symlinks to some /home/leslie_yu/... folder that doesnt exist, if I re-link those to the /kernal directory from the repo, will that work?
<wens>
in general you should get kernel headers matching the version you are running
<wens>
ask the vendor for them
<Sumo>
That makes sense since they should match exactly. I feel like asus should have provided them already publicly somewhere, at least for a 'tinker' board like that, you'd think they'd have a big wiki/website to help.
<wens>
a friend said they did it probably to get rid of inventory :p

ah geez, i will keep trying anyways.. thanks

Sumo, I would suggest you update your kernel to that one in github
