system.
1. Acquire the Linux kernel source code.
2. Unzip the console driver files.
3. Copy the console driver files to the build directory. Make the directory
Before continuing with modifications for the S1D13704, you should ensure that you can
build and start the Linux operating system.
You can obtain the Linux kernel source code from your Linux supplier or download
the source from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org.
The S1D13704 reference driver requires Linux kernel 2.4.x or greater. The example
