Hi Andy, The above error is from u-boot and is indicating that you don't have enough free space in your fdt blob to add the /chosen node and properties. The best solution is to use the "-S" and "-R" parameters to dtc to create a blob with enough extra space in it to hold the necessary information. Best regards, gvb
