Where can I find .ko files

Hello All,

i hope that my question is in the correct corner.
I want to play with home made Component for my hal Files. I have seen en read lots of it. but in te terminal command i can not locate for example the and2.ko file. i can  see the  and.so file. but that is a compiled file i read.

i have the standard debian 12 preemptrt iso installation withe e MESA 7i76E card

i have also update my system to the latest version.  do i have to instal somthing more ?
do someone 1 suggestion.

 

to create custom real time components see:

Note: For the 'halcompile' tool you need to install the 'linuxcnc-dev' package from the package manager.
