We could also ship a generated .S file (dtc -O asm -o ps3-dt.S ps3.dts), which would be easier to maintain in the source tree than a binary file, then use something like this in the wrapper script: ${CROSS}gcc -c -o ${platform}-dt.o ${platform}-dt.S ${CROSS}objcopy -O binary ${platform}-dt.o ${platform}.dtb Untested, but it seems like it would work. -Geoff _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
