Thanks for your comments! I have some code going with DT now. Will post tomorrow. As for the appended dtb support, do you know the recommended way to include it in the uImage? It feels a bit odd to recommend customers to patch their kernel source to build a bootable kernel. I ended up with this local hackery, but there must be better ways: --- 0001/arch/arm/boot/Makefile +++ work/arch/arm/boot/Makefile 2012-05-09 00:40:17.000000000 +0900 @@ -53,6 +53,7 @@ $(obj)/compressed/vmlinux: $(obj)/Image $(obj)/zImage: $(obj)/compressed/vmlinux FORCE $(call if_changed,objcopy) + cat $(obj)/emev2-kzm9d.dtb >> $@ @echo ' Kernel: $@ is ready' endif Cheers, / magnus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
