How to make .dtb from .dts file (how to set include path for #include .. ?)

How to make .dtb from .dts file (how to set include path for #include .. ?)

Hello all,

 

In linux kernel source, there are many .dts files (device tree source)

For example there is a file ./arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts.

To tried to make juno.dtb from juno.dts but I don't know how to do it.

(by the way, once I did make for the kernel build, junno.dtb file seems to
be generated in the same directory)

 

Just in case I want to make my own .dts and .dtb, I tried compling juno.dts
file. (I had installed dtc on my ubuntu 16.04 machine before)

$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o juno.dtb arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts

Error: arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts:11.1-9 syntax error

FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

The dtc program cannot process the line below in the .dts file.(line 11)

#include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h>

 

I don't know how I should let the preprocessing kick in.

I tried (because there is
include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h)

  $ dtc -i include -I dts -O dtb -o juno.dtb
arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts

But it doesn't work.

 

How can I use dtc program to make juno.dtb?

Or if I have to use Makefile, what is the command?

 

Thanks, 

 

Chan Kim

dtc only handles /include/. #include is expanded by a C preprocessor
that's explicitly run beforehand. Run make V=1 dtbs if you are curious
to see the commands executed.

What reason for doing this by hand?

Cheers,
Ahmad

Hello Ahmad,

Thanks for the kind reply.
I've checked adding a .dts file in the directory and adding it in the
Makefile there, and doing "make dts" at the build top does the job. As you
said, I think I can just do with this method.
Thank you!
Best regards,

Chan
