Dtc compilation fails

Question

florian-popup opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Hello, I try to follow the guide here.

However when I try to compile the dts file, I get this error

Error: mrf24j40ma-overlay.dts:2.2-8 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

Command line used (I removed the -@ which is not listed as a parameter neither reconized)

dtc -O dtb -o mrf24j40ma.dtbo mrf24j40ma-overlay.dts

dtc -v
Version: DTC 1.4.0

Which correspond to the second line (/plugin/;)

Any idea how to fix that ?
I use ubuntu mate on a rpi 3

Thanks

SO apparently there is different implementation for the same version of dtc
here

I resolved it by using this script

You need to use the -@ option indeed

@florian-popup I just tried to compile the script on Raspbian (Jessie-lite) and didn't saw the error.

$ dtc -v
Version: DTC 1.4.1-gbd1c3aca-dirty

though your dtc version is different

or was it just the missing -@ that caused the error?

well so far of what I read was that some DTC version has been compiled without the -@ options (the one that is in the ubunto repo for example)

I personally use Raspbian for that matter, and haven't used Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi (yet). I'll close this one again.
