beaglebone black kernel module

I'm trying to follow the walkthrough/tutorial found here.

I'm running kernel version 4.1.1-ti-r2, which doesn't appear to have any header files in the rcn-ee.net/deb/trusty-armhf folder. This means that I can't make it past the first step. If I had the linux header files for my kernel, I could skip this step and move forward.

I can't just skip this step, since I don't have a /lib/modules/4.1.1-ti-r2/build directory.

So my question is this. How can I generate the linux header files that I need? I'm relatively inexperienced with Linux/Ubuntu, so baby steps are appreciated.

You have to ask TI (or whoever modified that kernel) to provide the full sources to you. Or try find them by yourself. - 0andriy
