I'm writing a hal component in c, and I used stepgen.c as a template for how to structure it.
Call it "vision.c".
It compiles fine with 'comp --install vision.c' and shows up in rtlib/vision.ko.
When I enable it in my hal file withI get:
When I try to start emc again, I'm told that the module is already loaded.
Re-booting my machine returns me from 'already loaded' to 'did not exit normally.'
Removing 'loadrt vision' from my hal file (and rebooting) gives me a working system, but without my component.
rmmod vision produces:
lsmod | grep hal produces:
dmesg | grep hal gives:
Even though vision.c is waaay less complicated than stepgen, I note that the .ko file sizes are:
stepgen: 12777
vision: 96889
I'm on Lucid 10.04 and would appreciate anyone's advice.
Thanks,
Reid

That is strange, but could be explained if you have the -g debugging flag set. Quite how that could happen with comp I am not entirely sure, but perhaps it is the default in comp?
It is hard to guess at the source of the problem, but it is imperative that the component name and the file name match, or problems like this happen. it is certainly the first thing to check.

Sadly that is normal. Crashing HAL components tend to leave the system in a state that can only be fixed by a reboot. This is partly because they are kernel modules.
When I try to start emc again, I'm told that the module is already loaded.work.hal:171: child did not exit normally work.hal:171: insmod failed, returned -1

Naturally, it turned out that I had the usual null pointers and such. My code is in much better shape now that I understand better how to work within the constraints of a component.
It's good to know someone's got my back.
Thanks,
Reid
