How to patch a dts file.

[KrzyPac]

I have the file .../dts/amlogic/meson-sm1-x96-air-gbit.dts and the patch 004-arch-arm64-dts-amlogic-meson-sm1-ac2xx-tv-boxes.patch.

How to patch a dts file and generate a dtb file from it.

I am asking for help.

I suspect you just need the DTB correct? Git clone the armbian/build, place the patch in patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.12/ and build any meson64 board. 

 

./compile.sh KERNEL_GIT=shallow BRANCH=current EXPERT=yes KERNEL_BTF=no kernel BOARD=bananapicm4io

 

The DTS files are one of the first things to be compiled,  so once you see them finish, hit CTRL+C to cancel the build and then grab the DTB file from the source dir: cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.12__meson64__arm64/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/

 

That is the easiest way I can think of doing what you want to achieve. Here is an updated PATCH and pr-ecompiled DTB.

 

NOTE: There are different variants of the X96-AIR. I have two. One that uses Qualcomm for wireless and another that is Realtek. Each variant requires a different DTS for it to function properly. This patch is for the Realtek variant.

Thank you very much c0rnelius.
After applying your fix SPDIF works on VONTAR X3 Amlogic S905X3.
