Hi All,
I am trying to compile an overlay and use it for study purpose but I am not able to compile an overlay. For example I took an example device tree overlay from derek molloy blog
git clone git://github.com/derekmolloy/boneDeviceTree.git
and now I have a directory with a name overlay. In that a script build is there that have the compilation command for this overlay. this is the command inside build
#!/bin/bash
echo "Compiling the overlay from .dts to .dtbo"
dtc -O dtb -o DM-GPIO-Test-00A0.dtbo -b 0 -@ DM-GPIO-Test.dts
DM-GPIO-Test.dts file is the source overlay file and DM-GPIO-Test-00A0.dtbo is the output.
Now if I run this script I get this message
./build
Compiling the overlay from .dts to .dtbo
dtc: invalid option -- '@'
Usage: dtc [options] <input file>
Options: -[qI:O:o:V:d:R:S:p:fb:i:H:sW:E:hv]
-q, --quiet
Quiet: -q suppress warnings, -qq errors, -qqq all
-I, --in-format <arg>
Input formats are:
dts - device tree source text
dtb - device tree blob
fs - /proc/device-tree style directory
-o, --out <arg>
Output file
-O, --out-format <arg>
Output formats are:
dts - device tree source text
dtb - device tree blob
asm - assembler source
-V, --out-version <arg>
Blob version to produce, defaults to %d (for dtb and asm output)
-d, --out-dependency <arg>
Output dependency file
-R, --reserve <arg>
tMake space for <number> reserve map entries (for dtb and asm output)
-S, --space <arg>
Make the blob at least <bytes> long (extra space)
-p, --pad <arg>
Add padding to the blob of <bytes> long (extra space)
-b, --boot-cpu <arg>
Set the physical boot cpu
-f, --force
Try to produce output even if the input tree has errors
-i, --include <arg>
Add a path to search for include files
-s, --sort
Sort nodes and properties before outputting (useful for comparing trees)
-H, --phandle <arg>
Valid phandle formats are:
legacy - "linux,phandle" properties only
epapr - "phandle" properties only
both - Both "linux,phandle" and "phandle" properties
-W, --warning <arg>
Enable/disable warnings (prefix with "no-")
-E, --error <arg>
Enable/disable errors (prefix with "no-")
-h, --help
Print this help and exit
-v, --version
Print version and exit
Error: unknown option
I did install device-tree-compiler before issuing this command.
My system is ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit.
What is wrong here?
Yes that works.
One small question that is not related to upper discussion.
