Kernel compilation and device tree

[Carlos Garcés]

Hi!

 

I'm testing the image for cubieboard (A10 SOC) onto my MK 802 II and the legacy kernel is working fine (USB, OGT, WIFI, HDMI...) I just have changed the script.bin

 

I'm reading some documentation about the device trees and I don't understand how you compile the vanilla kernel.

 

Sorry if is a stupid questions but my board has his own .dts (sun4i-a10-mk802ii.dts), how you get a common vanilla kernel valid for all the configurations without using one specific .dts for each board?

 

Probably I'm missing something very basic for ARM kernels, but this is my 1º aproach.

Add 

setenv fdtfile sun4i-a10-mk802ii.dtb

at the beginning of /boot/boot.cmd script, recompile and try to boot. Remember that not all things works in vanilla yet.
