Supported Linux Kernels
Linux kernel versions 2.6.36 up to 5.19.x.
Due to the ever-changing nature of Linux, using newer Linux kernels may require changes to the product. The driver update appears within 1 month after the kernel release. The product doesn’t insure compatibility with highly customized kernels.
To keep up with changes in the Linux kernel, our product is updated frequently. As a result, this website may not contain the most up-to-date information. Please contact support for the most up-to-date list of supported Linux kernels.
Development Environment
A development environment is required to compile the Linux drivers.
Please make sure that you have installed:
kernel header files
GNU C (gcc) compiler
GNU C++ (g++/gcc-c++) compiler
GNU Glibc-static libraries
GNU Make
GNU ld (binutils)
Modutils (module-init-tools)
DKMS library (for automatic installation upon kernel version change)
