[PATCH V5 1/2] kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule

Stephen Warren swarren at wwwdotorg.org
Thu Nov 1 09:10:30 EST 2012


From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in the same way. Move the build
rule to a central location to avoid duplication.

Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location, and in
fact replace the example with a couple that still exist.

 	in an init section in the image. Platform code *must* copy the
 	blob to non-init memory prior to calling unflatten_device_tree().
 
+	To use this command, simply add *.dtb into obj-y or targets, or make
+	some other target depend on %.dtb
+
+	A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts;
+	architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.

 	Example:
-		#arch/x86/platform/ce4100/Makefile
-		clean-files := *dtb.S
+		#arch/arm/boot/Makefile
+		targets += $(dtb-y)
+		clean-files := *.dtb

+		$(obj)/dtbImage.%: vmlinux $(wrapperbits) $(obj)/%.dtb
+			$(call if_changed,wrap,$*,,$(obj)/$*.dtb)
 
-		$(obj)/%.dtb: $(src)/%.dts
-			$(call cmd,dtc)
+		clean-files += ... *.dtb
