[Buildroot] Compiling Device Tree with Buildroot

[Gamble, Bradley <bradley.gamble@ncipher.com>]

Howdy,


I'm trying to get Buildroot to compile our custom Device Tree file as part of the build process.

I've previously been compiling it to a DTB file using "dtc" standalone and then embedding that as a node in a FIT image, however if possible I'd like to integrate this as a stage in Buildroot. I can use a post-build script to achieve this but if there is a "standard" method that would be preferred.


Alternatively I was trying to build the Device Tree as part of the kernel. My Device Tree is comprised of three files under "br2-external/company/board/device-tree":

- board.dts

- board-pre.dtsi

- board-post.dtsi

The file board.dts includes board-pre.dtsi and board-post.dtsi.

I've configured Buildroot to use an out-of-tree Device Tree however when it attempts to compile the board.dts file it is unable to find the pre and post files. Do I need to add a specific argument or flag so that the include directory is added?


Regards,

Bradley Gamble
