The lines above are running the .dts file through the C proprocessor
to create a tmp file, which is then compiled. It is only really used
to get the name of the SOC's device tree include file - see the
definition of DTS_CPPFLAGS.
Is there actually any reason for the cat (the UUOCA seems to be
extinct these days, cf. http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html) and
the tmp file?
Why not rewriting as
$(CPP) -P $(DTS_CPPFLAGS) $ | \
$(DTC) -R 4 -p 0x1000 -O dtb -o ${DT_BIN} -
Any errors produce messages with line numbers, and it is nice for
people to be able to look up the file, go to the right line and see
what is actually being compiled. So that's why I did this - although I
certainly could use tee.
But instead I have been working on getting rid of the need for the CPP
step - the -i flag (include path) has now made it into dtc so before
long I will submit a patch to tidy up this logic and remove the
problem.
?

[U-Boot] device tree compilation problems.
Hi
I am getting DTC when compiling dts file with CONFIG_OF_CONTROL.
The message says that it cannot find skeleton.dtsi though its placed
in the same directory as the dts file. I notice that if i remove this
line from the dts Makefile, the error disappears
$(DT_BIN): $(TOPDIR)/board/$(VENDOR)/dts/$(DEVICE_TREE).dts
- cat $ | $(CPP) -P $(DTS_CPPFLAGS) - $@.tmp
- $(DTC) -R 4 -p 0x1000 -O dtb -o ${DT_BIN} $@.tmp
- rm $@.tmp
+ $(DTC) -R 4 -p 0x1000 -O dtb -o ${DT_BIN} $
Has anyone faced this issue?
Thanks

Not really, although I haven't used a skeleton file on mainline. One
thing to check is that you have a .dtsi extension.
The lines above are running the .dts file through the C proprocessor
to create a tmp file, which is then compiled. It is only really used
to get the name of the SOC's device tree include file - see the
definition of DTS_CPPFLAGS.
The tmp file should be in the same directory - check the file it
produces and see what is wrong with it. The reason for using a tmp
file is that people can check the resulting post-processed input to
dtc. I wonder if the # signs in the file are confusing the
preprocessor (at the time I wondered why they didn't). We should
perhaps add sed into the mix :-(
Thanks
