Dear List,

I'm facing a problem creating a new fdt image following the instructions in the u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/howto.txt

u-boot and dtc are top of git:

$ dtc -v Version: DTC 1.1.0-g050e6f0c

~/src/git/u-boot/ $ git-describe v1.3.3-32-gf2aeecc

I'm in the linux-2.6-denx/ directory with kernel and target blob:

~/src/git/linux-2.6-denx/ $ ls target.dtb vmlinux.bin.gz target.dtb vmlinux.bin.gz

I try to create the new image as follows:

$ ../u-boot/tools/mkimage -f ../u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/kernel_fdt.its kernel_fdt.itb FIT format handling Trying to execute "dtc -I dts -O dtb -p 500 ../u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/kernel_fdt.its > kernel_fdt.itb.tmp" DTC: dts->dtb on file "../u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/kernel_fdt.its" ../u-boot/doc/uImage.FIT/kernel_fdt.its:11 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree ../u-boot/tools/mkimage: Can't read kernel_fdt.itb.tmp: Invalid argument

Any ideas?

Hi Markus,

Line 11 of doc/uImage.FIT/kernel_fdt.its is:

data = /incbin/("./vmlinux.bin.gz");

So most likely your problem is due to mainline dtc not supporting binary includes (yet). You need to patch it with original Scott Wood's patch, see: http://www.nabble.com/-PATCH--Add-support-for-binary-includes.-td15596760.ht...
