I am using buildroot to generate an Image to run linux on an Arm A53. I want to be able to shut off and turn on the ability to see a USB flashdrive on command. I went into the settings of buildroot and modularized the device drivers for USB. When I boot up I cannot see the USB that is plugged in, which is fine; but I have modprobe'd almost every kernel module that was generated for the USB drivers and no matter what I can still never see the flashdrive. What .ko file is necessary to modprobe in order to see this flashdrive?



NOTE: I could see, use, and mount the flashdrive when I was using the Image that had the USB device drivers built into the kernel. I didn't add or subtract any of the options in buildroot when I modularized the USB device drivers and that was the only change that I made to any of the settings in buildroot before running make.

          • Yeah I used modprobe and it also loaded usbcore, but it still doesn't work. Do you know if there are additional dependencies?
