Error DTS file with xillinux

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi everybody,

I'am trying to ad I2C to xillinux so I follow the tuto find here http://www.arbot.cz/post/2012/11/14/PS-I2C-in-Xillinux.aspx and posted by Vatu.I'm blocked when I have to modify my dts file because this error happen :

$dtc -I dts -O dtb -o devicetree.dts devicetree.dtb
DTC: dts->dtb  on file "devicetree.dtb"
devicetree.dtb:1 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

I didn't understand why this error happens ...
So can I take the dts give with ZedBoard_OOB_Design and just add it
i2c0: i2c @ e0004000
  {
   compatible = "xlnx, PS7-i2c-1.00.a";
   reg = <0x1000 0xE0004000>;
   interrupts = <0 25 0>;
   interrupt-parent = <1>;
   bus-id = <0>;
   input-clk = <111111111>;
   i2c-clk = <100000>;
   # address-cells = <1>;
   # size-cells = <0>;
  };
Or this dts file was different of xillinux dts file ?

Did someone already get this error and know how to fix it ?
thank you for your help

    Hi

    You have the arguments the wrong way around.  The way you have it at the moment it's trying to read the dtb file as a dts, hence it cannot parse it correctly.

    If you are trying to compile a .dts file use this:

    dtc -I dts -O dtb -o devicetree.dtb devicetree.dts

    Alternatively if you are trying to decompile a .dtb file use this:

    dtc -I dtb -O dts -o devicetree.dts devicetree.dtb
