Each application configures its own set of drivers, maximums, etc by specifying the CONFIGURE_ macros like at the bottom of hello and then including confdefs.h. 

You need to add your driver to the set. From memory since on phone, this is via CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_DRIVERS or something similar.

This is in the users guide in the configuring a system chapter.
