README
Z80-LKM
This tiny project allows you to build the [Z80 library](https://github.com/redcode/Z80) as a Linux kernel module.
## Build
### Prerequisites
* CMake v3.14 or later.
* Linux kernel headers.
### Configuration options
The CMake script supports the following options:
* **`-DLINUX_KERNEL_HEADERS_DIR=`**
Specify the directory of the Linux kernel headers.
If this option is not defined, the directory will be autodetected.
Not defined by default.
* **`-DZ80_LKM_STABLE=(YES|NO)`**
Download the source code packages of the stable versions of Z80 and Zeta instead of cloning the `master` branch from their respective Git repositories.
The default is `NO`.
### Build
Type the following:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/redcode/Z80-LKM.git
mkdir Z80-LKM/build
cd Z80-LKM/build
cmake .. [options]
make
```
This will generate the `z80.ko` module, which then you can load and unload:
```shell
insmod z80.ko # Load the module
dmesg | tail -n 1 # Will print "Zilog Z80 CPU emulator v0.2"
rmmod z80 # Unload the module
```
