[U-Boot-Users] How to define CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE?

[jie han]

What's different between CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT and CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE?
My board is mpc8641d and u-boot version is 1.3.1.
I f I define CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE,and u-boot command bootm will call ft_setup() function, and how is it work?I found DTS files under kernel /arch/powerpc/sysDev directory,Could you give me some advice how to build it?

Thanks,

Jie

Hi Jie,

Board and processor are???  U-boot version is???

You most likely want to define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT, CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE is 
deprecated.

I'm presuming you are using a recent u-boot (preferably tip-o-tree).

The device tree blob will be where you load it.  :-)  TFTP is a 
convenient method...

Your question could be interpreted that you don't have a blob to load. 
If not, you need to generate a blob using a FDT source file (.dts) that 
describes your hardware and compiled it with "dtc".  Example FDT sources 
and the device tree compiler itself are now part of the linux kernel 
sources.

Good luck,
gvb
