VisionFive 2 firmware build error tmp file not found

Hello everyone,
So I’ve been following the official guide to build the latest firmware, opensbi, uboot you name it :grinning:
Now everything worked fine until the step where you create the actual fw_payload.img and I’m getting the following error message:

florian@Etzel:~/RISCV/Tools/uboot_its$ /home/florian/RISCV/uboot/u-boot/tools/mkimage -f visionfive2-uboot-fit-image.its -A riscv -O u-boot -T firmware visionfive2_fw_payload.img
sh: 1: dtc: not found
/home/florian/RISCV/uboot/u-boot/tools/mkimage: Can't open visionfive2_fw_payload.img.tmp: No such file or directory

Now I am a bit confused as to why it says “dtc not found” and then fails with not being able to open a .tmp file since it should create this file by itself. I suppose this is just the follow up to the first error message but that one is not really helpful at all I’m afraid :pensive:
Can anyone help me out here? Should I just run through the whole procedure once more and see if maybe something failed without me noticing?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to install the following package “device-tree-compiler”. As you’ll see below it contains the dtc binary. Hope this helps.

device-tree-compiler: /usr/bin/dtc

That did the trick thank you very much!
Feeling a bit embarrassed I wasn’t aware I was missing a system package :dizzy_face: :woozy_face:
