Re: [Ltib] Re: DTC - Fatal Error: Couldn't read input tree

[Mark Lacas]

David,
 Funny thing is I am using a Mac running linux and the line endings  
should have been correct.  I grabbed the files from Freescale and  
edited them.  I thought I had made the conversion to unix line feed  
style. . .guess not.

Stuart, might want to let the Freescale folks know about this.

Thanks David for your quick support.
