mkimage: unsupported type Flat Device Tree

Hi ,
There was an error message showing as following when I tried to use buildroot-external-microchip-linux4sam-2021.04 with buildroot-at91-linux4sam-2021.04 to generate a ROOTFS for SAM9X60-EK. I used the default configuration for SAM9X60-EK and it failed at generating sam9x60.itb file.

I did the same test for SAMA5D2-XULT, it also has the same error message while generating itb file.

NodeJS is slow to startup

When I run NodeJS on an empty script, it takes 26 seconds to complete:
time node -e ""

If I download, unpack and run a precompiled NodeJS from [https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v15.x/node-v15.3.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz], it takes 2 seconds to complete.

I can print the configuration that each node was built with with 'node -e "console.log(process.config)" '

Probably the biggest difference is the version. The Slow Node is at 12.18.4. The fast Node is at 15.3.0. The current LTS version is 14.15.1. It also runs fast.

Can we update the nodejs make file to download and build 14.15.1?

linux4sam build problem following microchip u embedded linux course

I'm following along with the microchip U course here: https://mu.microchip.com/introduction-to-embedded-linux/606419

I have made it to the step where we need to make the images but I'm getting this error:

make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:250: /home/jamesscaggs/Downloads/buildroot-at91/output/build/host-gcc-initial-9.3.0/.stamp_built] Error 2

make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2

I've already tried this fix: https://www.linux4sam.org/bin/view/Linux4SAM/BuildIssueOpenWrtUbuntu2004

I'm really just wanting to build the images so I can look for the device tree file to better understand the structure.

Any help is appreciated

AC320005-5 TouchScreen-LCD resolution correlation

I've built the EGT example following the build steps and I notice that the touch screen are not configured with the same resolution as the LCD.
I've taken a photo showing the problem using the whiteboard app. The blue lines is where I can touch.

SSH login is not possible for sama5d4_xplained_demo_defconfig

SSH login is not possible. My host says.

Have I to do additional steps?

Is it correct that both is on dropbear and OPENSSH?

mtools is disabled

Hello,

This is just an FYI and was tested on the 2020.02 and 2020.04 tags on both the default config sama5d2_xplained_graphics_defconfig that is used throughout the examples as well as on the WLSOM.
It appears that in Host utilities, host mtools is not enabled which causes an error running the post build script.
I resolved this by running make menuconfig and enabled mtools in host utilities, ran make again and the post build script ran fine.

Hope you find this useful. Thanks,
Chuck

No EGT_BENCHMARK_SITE_METHOD declaration

Hi ,
Using buildroot-external-microchip-egt_0.9 with sama5d2_xplained_graphics_defconfig to generate rootfs for sama5d2-xplained and there is erros message as below:
home/kevin/atmel/egt/buildroot-external-microchip-egt_0.9/package/egt-benchmark/egt-benchmark.mk:21: *** EGT_BENCHMARK declares having git sub-modules, but does not use the 'git' method (uses 'https' instead).
Git method declaration should be added to buildroot-external-microchip-egt_0.9/package/egt-benchmark/egt-benchmark.mk
EGT_BENCHMARK_SITE = $(call github,linux4sam,egt-benchmark,$(EGT_BENCHMARK_VERSION))
EGT_BENCHMARK_SITE_METHOD = git
EGT_BENCHMARK_GIT_SUBMODULES = YES

linux4sam/buildroot-extern-microchip do not build sdcard.img

linux4sam/buildroot-extern-microchip do not build sdcard.img,but build uboot,zimage,rootfs is well. sea the picture.
