DTC compile error (simple-bus unit address format error for #address-cells = <2> case)
Hello all, Below is a part of arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/rtsm_ve-motherboard.dtsi in linux kernel. This file is included by arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/fvp-base-revc.dts. / { smb@8000000 { motherboard { arm,v2m-memory-map = "rs1"; compatible = "arm,vexpress,v2m-p1", "simple-bus"; #address-cells = <2>; /* SMB chipselect number and offset */ #size-cells = <1>; #interrupt-cells = <1>; ranges; flash@0,00000000 { compatible = "arm,vexpress-flash", "cfi-flash"; reg = <0 0x00000000 0x04000000>, <4 0x00000000 0x04000000>; bank-width = <4>; }; ethernet@2,02000000 { compatible = "smsc,lan91c111"; reg = <2 0x02000000 0x10000>; interrupts = <15>; }; When I compile the fvp-base-revc.dts file (following this method to handle pre-processing : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50658326/device-tree-compiler-not-recogn izes-c-syntax-for-include-files), it gives me error below. arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/rtsm_ve-motherboard.dtsi:20.21-25.6: Warning (simple_bus_reg): /smb@8000000/motherboard/flash@0,00000000: simple-bus unit address format error, expected "0" arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/rtsm_ve-motherboard.dtsi:27.24-31.6: Warning (simple_bus_reg): /smb@8000000/motherboard/ethernet@2,02000000: simple-bus unit address format error, expected "202000000" The dtc is complaining about the address format `flash@0,00000000` or `ethernet@2,02000000`. But because the #address-cells = <2>, the node address should be given by chip select number and the offset (inside the chip select). How can I prevent this error? DTC version is 1.5.0. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you! Chan Kim
Hi, I've found how to do it. For you should add CONFIG_ARCH_VEXPRESS and ran 'make V=1 ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- dtbs |& tee logx' Dtbs for ARCH_VEXPRESS are generated in the dts directory. Then you can see the command to make the dtb (in the logx file). Below is the command. Lots of options for the dtc. mkdir -p arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/ ; gcc -E -Wp,-MD,arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.d.pre.tmp -nostdinc -I./scripts/dtc/include-prefixes -undef -D__DTS__ -x assembler-with-cpp -o arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.dts.tmp arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/fvp-base-revc.dts ; ./scripts/dtc/dtc -O dtb -o arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/fvp-base-revc.dtb -b 0 -iarch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/ -i./scripts/dtc/include-prefixes -Wno-unit_address_vs_reg -Wno-unit_address_format -Wno-avoid_unnecessary_addr_size -Wno-alias_paths -Wno-graph_child_address -Wno-simple_bus_reg -Wno-unique_unit_address -Wno-pci_device_reg -d arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.d.dtc.tmp arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.dts.tmp ; cat arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.d.pre.tmp arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.d.dtc.tmp > arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/.fvp-base-revc.dtb.d Thanks!
