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.
