05:29 <steev> robher: if you have a moment, i'm trying to understand the fdtoverlay commit of yours 15d16d6dadf6947ac7f9a686c615995c5a426ce2 - i'm trying to add an overlay here and, i am just not entirely sure what i'm missing exactly. I looked at how fsl does it in commit 6f112d0fcf78226212f10350b372c8cd0bfaf919 but when i run make, it's like the dtbs are flipped - https://paste.debian.net/1249370/ is a paste of the changes i made to the makefile,

05:29 <steev> the dts overlay, and the output when i run make dtbs

14:20 <robher> steev: You are missing the base dtb. The foo-dtbs name 'foo' is the base+overlay dtb target.

15:25 <steev> so these aren'

15:25 <steev> aren't "overlays" they generate an entirely new dtb?

15:47 <steev> my misunderstanding was thinking this just generates the .dtbo files and you could use them similar to the libreelec or rpi foundation dtbos

15:52 <steev> robher: also, apparently in my sleepiness i copied the wrong makefile modifications, and i had meson-g12a-radxa-zero-dtbs := meson-g12a-radxa-zero.dtb overlays/meson-g12a-opp-2ghz.dtbo in the makefile, not just the .dtbo file; so if i want overlays, i need to make a new base?

16:41 <robher> steev: you use an existing base. The base plus overlay targets are for testing that overlays apply and documenting what they apply to.

16:47 <steev> robher: okay so then the error is actually that the test that it overlays, isn't succeeding and i need to figure out why?

16:49 <steev> or i'm misunderstanding what "existing base" means here. the base should be the board i'm trying to apply it to

17:00 <bjdooks> gah, accidentally called my manage jude --subject-prefx=PATCH v3

17:07 <robher> steev: right, base is the board dt you want to apply the overlay to.

17:11 <steev> okay, so then the make file i have should be correct with the line i pasted? a few comments ago

17:17 <steev> or do i need to do something like, move the radxa-zero base dtb to something like radxa.dts and then do radxa-zero.dtb ?

17:22 <steev> again, i feel lost - this seems so counter intuitive for some reason to me, and i'm not sure why. just to try to get an idea, i did move the dts to radxa.dts, modified the makefile, and i still get the same error, but the question is, is the "new" meson-g12a-radxa-zero.dtb just the base, or is it the base+overlay applied?
