Hi List,
I am using a 64-bit ubuntu machine running a 12.04 LTS. I see that the DTC (Device Tree Compiler) version is 1.3.0
$ dtc -v Version: DTC 1.3.0
When I try to compile the latest u-boot 'master' branch (updated yesterday), I get the following error with dtc:
dtc: invalid option -- 'i'
followed by a Usage suggestion.
I checked that a newer DTC version 1.4.0 is available from Linaro, but I can't find an updated version for ubuntu and apt-get returns me a
message:
device-tree-compiler is already the newest version
Any pointers to what I could be doing wrong here?
What target are you building for as it should have run the 'checkdtc' rule and told you that you need to install DTC 1.4.0. And yes for Ubuntu you'll need to build your own.
Hi Tom,
I am trying to build the new support code of ARMv8 (using patches from David Fengua), using:
$ make vexpress_aemv8a
I will try building a DTC 1.4.0 for u-buntu by myself, but if we are saying that latest u-boot requires DTC 1.4.0 to work well, aren't we breaking u-boot compilation on older systems like ubuntu/fedora which have older DTC versions?
