Trying to generate the device tree binary, as described on this page only nets me the following error:

$ sopc2dts --input soc_system.sopcinfo --output socfpga.dts --type dts --board soc_system_board_info.xml --board hps_common_board_info.xml --bridge-removal all --clocks

Any ideas?

HI
I think its a problem in the xml files! Format or Contents!
Did you edit them??
bye

No editing. I extracted the archive, ran Qsys to generate the sopcinfo and tried running the sopc2dts tool.

hi!!
try to use the comand without the xml files (without --board soc_system_board_info.xml --board hps_common_board_info.xml ). If there is no error, look for new xml’s elsewhere! If you get an error there is something wrong with the sopc2dts tool or sopcinfo file.
I recommend not to use this tool(sopc2dts), write your own dts files!! Its not easy, but you learn alot and it works!
bye

I had the same issue while running the tools in Linux. I cleaned up two items in the files I had:
hps_common_board_info.xml
Look for DTappend (notice the lower case a), make sure it’s DTAppend

soc_system_board_info.xml
My file had a unneeded ‘>’ around line 22

Good Luck,
Dustin
