How to use image builder to generate new firmware with dts updated

For Developers
1

Hello,all

Here is my testing environment.
Hardware : Linkit Smart 7688.
LEDE ver: 17.01.4

I am using the image builder to generate custom firmware.
I have updated the DTS file to do some testing and I want this to take effect in the new firmware.
But it seems no use.
Cause the dtb file "LinkIt7688-kernel.bin.dtb " under "lede-imagebuilder-17.01.4-ramips-mt7688.Linux-x86_64/build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl-1.1.16/linux-ramips_mt7688" directory has no change.

So,how to use image builder to generate new firmware with dts updated ?

Hi ,
I am facing same issue you find any solution regarding this issue.

You need to use the build system to build from source, not the image builder.

It is not really possible.

But if you have the buildlog.
You can combine the imagebuilder with SDK and write up the single command from kernel build process.
But this is a hack

bettet solution rebuild from source. And do not delete it.

then you can change the DTS and apply the changes by
make target/linux/install

This can be done again and again
