Device Tree Files

[Gencay]

Do we need to compile CUBEMX dts files before bitbake or we need to convert them into the dtb files with eclipse like in this ST video and what is the best way to go from discovery board to custom board in the means of creating device tree files for peripherals and all. I need some guidance.

Hello @Gencay​ ,

In this community post, you have the explanation of how to use the DTS files generated by CubeMX in your distribution package:

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00001gW1WrSAK/after-devtool-modify-i-can-not-found-my-kernel-device-tree-in-workspace

The explanation is also available on the wiki:

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_create_your_own_machine#Edit_the_new_machine_file-_stm32mp1--3CProjectName-3E-conf

and in the page: https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_compile_the_device_tree_with_the_Distribution_Package

Hope it helps :)

Regards,

Kevin

I was following this How to Create Your Board Device Tree I did everything all the way to the section 2.2 then I jumped to this how to create your own machine. At the end when I try to compile with st-image-weston following error occurs.

I only altered stm32mp1-test-mx.dts with following lines between root user code begin and end parts:

aliases {
		serial2 = &uart5;
	};
 
	chosen {
		stdout-path = "serial2:115200n8";
	};

What can be the problem here? My machine.conf file is attached.

Hi,

I am getting this exact same error. Did you end up finding a solution for it?

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
