Trying to build Debian for my BeagleV-Fire, ./04_build_linux.sh gave me:

I tried to manually convert from mpfs-beaglev-fire.dts to mpfs-beaglev-fire.dtb, but still erronous:

➜  microchip git:(linux4microchip+fpga-2023.09) ✗ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o mpfs-beaglev-fire.dtb mpfs-beaglev-fire.dts
Error: mpfs-beaglev-fire.dts:6.1-9 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

Odd, it seems you ran the 04 script, these whole sections were ignored…

…

Why is if [ -f arch/riscv/configs/mpfs_defconfig ] failing…

What is your os?

Problem solved by adding dtb-$(CONFIG_SOC_MICROCHIP_POLARFIRE) += mpfs-beaglev-fire.dtb into LINUXROOT/arch/riscv/boot/dts/microchip/Makefile.
