Confusion regarding armbian-config dts editor

When using the dts editor in armbian-config, a different dts is shown than the one that I defined in extlinux.conf.

 

For my RK3188 based minix neo X7, I decompiled an existing dtb from boot/dtb into a dts file using dtc on my Linux computer. I edited this into a new dts and compiled it into a dtb. I placed this under the name rk3188-x7.dtb in my boot/dtb folder, referenced to it in extlinux.conf and my system booted using this dtb (checked in dmesg).

 

However,  when I try to use armbian-config to edit my dtb/dts, it shows a different dts. Any idea how or where to change this so I can easily work on my dts?

Did you try studying armbian-config source?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 

It seems that the dts editor in armbian-config uses the "first" dtb it finds in the /root/dtb folder.  Because there were multiple dtb files in my dtb folder a different one was picked than the one I have configured in my extlinux.conf file.

 

Removing all but one dtb files from the /root/dtb folder did the trick.
