Error: dtc does not support compiling overlays

[Spadletskys Dev]

Hey everyone, I'm a noob in SBCs in general but I recently bought an Orange Pi One along with a 3.5inch HDMI-compatible MPI3508 display to work with it. Right now, I still can't seem to make the tft display work with the board but after some hours, I came across a thread that led me to this DTC overlay that I can use for my display. (https://github.com/jonathan-gatard/ili9486-xpt2046) I tried to download the .dtc file and compiled it as instructed in the README file, but `armbian-add-overlay ...` gives me an error:

 

Error: dtc does not support compiling overlays

 

I tried updating my dtc to the latest version like other users recommended but it still didn't work.

I am running Armbian 22.11.0

using kernel 5.15.79-sunxi on the Orange Pi One

 

What do yall think I should do to compile the overlay?

This works on my orangepione.  I think dtc comes with the standard image.

Armbian-unofficial 23.11.0-trunk Bookworm with bleeding edge Linux 6.6.1-edge-sunxi
