There is a device tree compiler tool called dtc; I think it depends
on the kernel and/or config, but it's usually an additional "make"
after making a kernel image (and like lzop it's also an external
dependency you might not see until you get an error message).

It should be packaged in current distros (at least it is in Gentoo)
although it may not be so current, so LinuxOnArm wiki recommends
updating to below when working with current mainline DT stuff:

wget -c https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/master/pkgs/dtc.sh

Upstream in the Gentoo package is devicetree.org:
