Hi, Jon Lolieger,

I have tried using the standalone dtc compiler at git://git.jdl.com/software/dtc.git
to compile my dts file and got the following error:-

a0868495@ares-ubuntu:~/dtc$ dtc -I dts -O dtb tci6614-evm.dts
DTC: dts->dtb  on file "tci6614-evm.dts"
tci6614-evm.dts:4 syntax error

...

Why is the dtc not able to compile the dts file?

I think the only way to answer that is going to be to post your .dts
file, or at least the first 4 or 5 lines of it.

Stephen,

Thanks for responding.

Here it is

That's odd. I just tried both v1.3.0 and master dtc, and could compile
your example just fine. I also compiled
arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra-cardhu.dts from the kernel (next-20120411). Both
worked fine.

Note that I get the error you're seeing if I run Ubuntu's packaged dtc,
which is 1.1.0.dfsg-1build1 on my system. Are you sure you're running
the dtc binary you think you are?

You are right. I never realized that I had a host version of dtc. The problem doesn't happen when I used the git version and I could boot up Linux using the DTB. Now I see the same error when run the command on an ARM
Target machine. I have cross compiled the dtc (using oe (actually Arago)). Not sure if anyone tried this on an ARM target.
