You can calso dump an FDT with: dtc -O dts XXX.dtb Is this sufficient for the desired functionality, or is there something additional in fdtdump that is needed? If nothing additional needed, and there is no other justification for adding another program, I would prefer to leave fdtdump out. -Frank > > Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > V3: > - Updated log > - Remove libfdt_dir > > scripts/dtc/Makefile | 7 ++++++- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/scripts/dtc/Makefile b/scripts/dtc/Makefile > index 4852bf44e913..472ab8cd590c 100644 > --- a/scripts/dtc/Makefile > +++ b/scripts/dtc/Makefile > @@ -1,12 +1,17 @@ > # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 > # scripts/dtc makefile > > -hostprogs-always-$(CONFIG_DTC) += dtc > +hostprogs-always-$(CONFIG_DTC) += dtc fdtdump fdtoverlay > hostprogs-always-$(CHECK_DT_BINDING) += dtc > > dtc-objs := dtc.o flattree.o fstree.o data.o livetree.o treesource.o \ > srcpos.o checks.o util.o > dtc-objs += dtc-lexer.lex.o dtc-parser.tab.o > +fdtdump-objs := fdtdump.o util.o > + > +libfdt-objs := fdt.o fdt_ro.o fdt_wip.o fdt_sw.o fdt_rw.o fdt_strerror.o fdt_empty_tree.o fdt_addresses.o fdt_overlay.o > +libfdt = $(addprefix libfdt/,$(libfdt-objs)) > +fdtoverlay-objs := $(libfdt) fdtoverlay.o util.o > > # Source files need to get at the userspace version of libfdt_env.h to compile > HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += -I $(srctree)/$(src)/libfdt >
