I'm new to Buildroot system (I used Yocto before). I need to modify the device tree for my board, which is the best way to achieve that?

Thanks a lot, Simone

Make a copy of the dts (typically in board/<company>/<boardname>). Point to that dts in the "Out of tree custom DTS" menu entry (BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_DTS_PATH) in the Buildroot menuconfig. Obviously, you need to build a kernel and enable the device tree option for this to work.

  • sorry for the late answer, thanks so much! I remember that we managed to compile the kernel externally and then recreate the SD image using external crosscompiled files. However I think your solution is better and simplier if you want to keep the build in one place! – Simo S Mar 31 '22 at 09:31
