[U-Boot] [PATCH] Fix example FIT image source files

Ira W. Snyder iws at ovro.caltech.edu
Wed Nov 4 22:37:59 CET 2009


The example FIT image source files do not compile with the latest dtc and
mkimage. The following error message is produced:

DTC: dts->dtb  on file "kernel.its"
Error: kernel.its 7:0 - 1:0 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
./mkimage: Can't read kernel.itb.tmp: Invalid argument

The FIT image source files are missing the "/dts-v1/;" directive at the
beginning of the file. Add the directive to the examples.

Note that to make U-Boot's mkimage utility do anything at all, I had to
manually apply Remy's patch from Oct. 28 as well. The patch is titled:
[PATCH] Building of FIT images does not work.

After applying the above patch, then dtc errored with the message
reproduced above in the commit text.
