I solved that problem
Using
IMAGE_INSTALL += "ledmodule"
instead of
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ledmodule"
caused that the module was installed.
I found the hint in
https://communities.intel.com/thread/56810?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks for the help. Maybe a tip in the recipe template "hello_mod" could
help other people trying to build theire own modules.

Betreff: Antwort: RE: [yocto] how to install a kernel module
Thanks for taking the time to help me
I tried your approach but it does not worked.
I tell what I figured out so far:
I.) checking the target system
1.) When flashing the images into my device and boot the system, the
driver is not loaded.
2.) lsmod shows that there is no driver loaded
3.) modprobe tells me that there is no 'lib/modules' dir
II.) checking yocto
1.) Bitbake creates a package for my machine ("sama5d3xek") -> there are
several packages; all are empty except the one with the "kernel-module-"
prefix
2.) checking the "deploy/images" dir -> the module is not listed at the
"*.manifest" file
3.) checking the "modules-*.tgz" file -> modules are in(like the ext4.ko)
but not the ledmodule.ko
As far as I understand yocto and the meta-atmel layer there are "two"
images build. One is the kernel and it goes under the "work/sama5d3xek..."
dir. The other one is the rootfs and it goes under the "work/cortexahf..."
dir. By using the module class for my ledmodule recipe yocto is generating
it in the kernel dir.
I think I need to tell yocto in some way that it should include the module
in the kernel(where the bb is placed) or at the rootfs (where the recipe
is missing).
For me it seems that I have to rewrite my recipe. I delete the module
class reference and adjust the install path to /lib/modules.
But it looks for me more as an workaround, because adding a own
driver/module seems a common task which should be supported my yocto. I
like to know the common way how to do it.
When checking the kernel package for the module the path for it is
"/lib/modules/4.1.0_linux4sam.../extra/ledmodule.ko". The dir
"/lib/modules/4.1.0_linux4sam.../" not exits at my target.

Hi,
FYI, image recipes are in recipes-core/images folders.
So if you created your own image recipe, my previous mail should answer
your need.
Otherwise, I don’t know if you could just add this line to your local.conf
file…
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " ledmodule"
The best way to know that your IMAGE_INSTALL variable is correctly set is
to call this bitbake command:
$ bitbake <image> -e
Bitbake will output all the build environment variables and functions
related to your image recipe.
So you will be able to check with this command that IMAGE_INSTALL has
effectively your module name added to the list.
bitbake -e is a very important command when working with Yocto.
Regards,
Joël Esponde

Objet : [yocto] how to install a kernel module
Hej
I created a recipe for a own modul. It's similar to the example given at:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/hello-mod
I checked the bitbake process. A "kernel-module-<module name>" package is
created and filled with the ko-file.
Actually I am failing to bring the module into my image and run it. Are
there a special command for the "local.conf" or so?
How and where to include the module?
Regards!
Stefan Jaritz
