NVIDIA Driver Installation on Xilinx Zynq SoC Running Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13)

Hi

We have a Xilinx Zynq SoC (which dual core ARM9s) running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel version 3.13. The GPU we have connected to it is the GTX980. I’m trying to install the NVIDIA driver but keep running into issues.

If I try to install driver 361.28, for one, I get a warning in the beginning saying GCC version needed is 4.9 but I have 4.8.2 installed which is also what CUDA cross platform installation recommends for ARMv7l architecture running Ubuntu 14.04. Anyway, the log of the install is as follows:

Now, I can’t say starting which exact version this is the problem. When I try to install an older driver, say, 349.16, I get the following log:

The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.9) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.8). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel.

If you know what you are doing you can either ignore the CC version check and continue installation, or abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. (Answer: Ignore CC version check)
