I did Bookworm RaspberryPi OS install then swapped out the kernel and modules with the custom compiled ones. Then compiled and installed the latest version of the userspace tools following my other guide to finish things off. Ultimately the setup was very similar to the seeed studio hat other than I this time complied the kernel using the Morse Micro rpi-linux repo instead of patching the mainline linux kernel myself. I’ll attach some read ahead for you. This is the guide from Vantron that I really only needed for the steps where we compile the driver in to the kernel using the menuconfig. That process was new for me as diving down in to the kernel is not my expertise.
I did make a custom modprobe file that I will share when I’m back on my board and can grab. Forgot to back that up to my laptop.
