Nytro XD Overview : Software Licensing

Software Licensing

Some portion of Linux is covered by General Public Licensing (GPL). The Linux source code is separated into two modules:

*

Driver (nytroxddrv.ko) – Source code compiled to create nytroxddrv.ko uses the Kernel APIs and is always released in the plain source code format.

*

Library (nytroxdlib.ko) – This is LSI proprietary. This module contains the caching logic, and the module can be released only in the binary format. A stubbed out version (without any LSI core caching IP) is also available in the plain source code format.

Load the software licensing package (nytroxddrv.ko + software licensing nytroxdlib.ko) module onto the Linux Kernel.
