Yes. You don't have to do that though, you can just rely on dtc to compile them, outside of the linux build system. > What I can't understand is if there's a real standard at this time to > follow, because on renesas-driver they use their way to handle all .dtso > files, but on mainline there seems to be nothing about that. I'm not sure what you mean here. It's just fragments of device tree, that have to be compiled using dtc, that's it. You can use the Linux build system infrastructure to do that, or you can build your own simpler one. That's really up to you. See for example https://github.com/NextThingCo/CHIP-dt-overlays/blob/master/Makefile (even though the overlays themselves use the legacy syntax and shouldn't really be used an examples) > So at the moment I'm trying to compile dts tagged as /plugin/; > but dtc gives me a lot of warnings. > > dts: > " > /dts-v1/; > /plugin/; > > #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h> > #include <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> > > &i2c2 { > pinctrl-names = "default"; > pinctrl-0 = <&i2c2_pins_a>; > status = "okay"; > > ft5x { > compatible = "edt,edt-ft5306"; > reg = <0x38>; > interrupt-parent = <&pio>; > interrupts = <7 2 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>; /* PH2 */ > reset-gpios = <&pio 7 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PH3 */ > touchscreen-size-x = <480>; > touchscreen-size-y = <272>; > }; > }; > " > > Build output issuing make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- aaa.dtb (I use > aaa.dts as source): > " > arch/arm/boot/dts/aaa.dtb: Warning (reg_format): > /fragment@0/__overlay__/ft5x:reg: property has invalid length (4 bytes) > (#address-cells == 2, #size-cells == 1) > arch/arm/boot/dts/aaa.dtb: Warning (pci_device_bus_num): Failed prerequisite > 'reg_format' > arch/arm/boot/dts/aaa.dtb: Warning (simple_bus_reg): Failed prerequisite > 'reg_format' > arch/arm/boot/dts/aaa.dtb: Warning (avoid_default_addr_size): > /fragment@0/__overlay__/ft5x: Relying on default #address-cells value > arch/arm/boot/dts/aaa.dtb: Warning (avoid_default_addr_size): > /fragment@0/__overlay__/ft5x: Relying on default #size-cells value > " Yeah, your i2c node doesn't have the right address-cells and size-cells properties value, like dtc is telling you. > Then in uboot I'm trying to do as follows: > # fdt addr 0x43000000 (where dtb is) > # fdt resize 8192 > # fdt apply 0x430c0000 (where dtbo is) > But it gives me "libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC" > (I was expecting some error) It looks like your overlay hasn't been properly loaded.
