Linux/AM3352: Device tree syntax error

Prodigy 185 points
Part Number: AM3352

Tool/software: Linux

Hi everywhere,

I try to apply the SDK_Kernel_Configuration from Linux Kernel Users Guide,AM3352-SOM-EVB.
My product is the AM3352-SOM-EVB described by this both wiki:

And my toolchain and SDK are downloaded from AM335x Linux SDK Individual Components § PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM335X Product downloads:

My issue is that I try to compile am335x-evm.dtb into am335x-evm.dts, but this error append:

$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o am335x-evm.dtb am335x-evm.dts              
Error: am335x-evm.dts:10.1-9 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

How to solve this?

The dtc version used is 1.4.6.

My procedure is:

## 2 Getting the Kernel Source Code
AM335x Linux SDK Individual Components; [PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM335X  04_03_00_05](software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html)

* [AM335x Linux SDK BSP Source Code](software-dl.ti.com/.../am335x-evm-linux-sdk-src-04.03.00.05.tar.xz)

```

## 4 Compiler
```bash
export PATH=$(pwd)/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
```

## 5 Cleaning the Kernel Sources
```bash
cd board-support/linux-4.9.69+gitAUTOINC+9ce43c71ae-g9ce43c71ae
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- distclean
```

## 6 Configuring the Kernel
### SDK Kernel Configuration
```bash
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
```
```bash
ti_config_fragments/defconfig_builder.sh -t ti_sdk_am3x_release
export ARCH=arm
make ti_sdk_am3x_release_defconfig
mv .config arch/arm/configs/tisdk_am3x-evm_defconfig
```
## 7 Customizing the Configuration
```bash
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ti_sdk_am3x_release_defconfig
#make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig
```

### Compiling the Kernel
```bash
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage
```

### Compiling the Device Tree Binaries
```bash
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- am335x-evm.dtb
cp arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-evm.dtb ..
cd -

    Hello adjivas,

    You can compile your dts through these steps.

    Best regards,

    Thank you, according to your link, that solved with this lines:

    export IDE=am335x-evm

export SRC=$IDE.dts
export TMP=$IDE.tmp.dts
export DST=$IDE.dtb

cd arch/arm/boot/dts
cpp -nostdinc -I include -undef -x assembler-with-cpp $SRC > $TMP
dtc -O dtb -b 0 -o $DST $TMP
rm $TMP

    The output is:
