Building dtview

Locate the dtup directory which you created in the download part of this book. If you have all the dependencies installed, you should be able to build dtview simply by running a build through cargo. Open a terminal in the dtup/dtview directory and run:

make

Now wait for the build to finish. After the build finishes you should see a binary in dtup/target/debug/dtview (where dtup is the directory where we downloaded the dtup code to).

Now the simplest way to use this binary is to copy it into the directory in which you have your devicetree source files. You can also install it system-wide, but that might not work for some operating systems, so if you’re not sure—rather copy it into the same directory in which you develop your devicetrees.
