On Buildroot we support the possibility to pass an external dts by copying it to the uboot sources to be built but since uboot version 2020.01 it doesn’t work anymore. So I’ve proposed a patch to prepend the dts file in the Makefile above, but this has drawbacks, like we reconfigure(it keeps adding files every time).

A20-OLinuXino-Lime_defconfig for but without CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE undefined, so if you try to pass DEVICE_TREE= pointing to an external .dts file copied to arch/arm/dts/ make doesn’t find the entry in Makefile and it can’t build it. This is useful in build systems like Buildroot where you can provide an external defconfig as well as an external .dts file. So here the solution I see is to create an entry in arch/arm/dts/Makefile on the top of the file afte copying the .dts file we want to build. But on Buildroot they’ve pointed me to ask upstream(here) if there’s a more canonical way or to work together to achieve the goal: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20210209201303.195093-1-giulio.benetti@benettiengineering.com/ Sorry if this e-mail is html but I’m on mobile :-/ Best regards Giulio Benetti > > Regards, > Simon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

That should work OK. But if I’m not wrong the problem of the dts/Makefile remains. If .dts file is not assigned to dtb-y it won’t be built. And in the case of Buildroot we have 2 ways to use external dts files: 1) patch uboot adding the dts and the entry in dts/Makefile 2) copy .dts file(let’s say located in ~/my-folder/my.dts) to arch/arm/dts/my.dts and prepend the dtb-y += my.dts in arch/arm/dts/Makefile and here problem arises. Because it can work once but we need to make it possible to have ‘make uboot-rebuild/reconfigure’ (Buildroot has such targets). This way is not easy at all to prepend the dtb-y at the top of the file without re-prepending it again and again. It worked up to uboot < 2020.01, but I still haven’t bisected to see the “offending” commit. Maybe I can try and find out why it behaves like that. What about that?
