  • Here are the instructions to update the version of libfdt:
1. Clone the dtc into a temporary directory: 
cd $(EDK2_ROOT)/EmbeddedPkg/Library
git clone git://git.jdl.com/software/dtc.git

2. Copy the content of 'libfdt' into EmbeddedPkg/Library/FdtLib/ 

cd dtc
cp -a libfdt/* ../FdtLib/

3. Copy the libfdt headers: 

mv ../FdtLib/libfdt.h ../../Include/
mv ../FdtLib/fdt.h ../../Include/
rm ../FdtLib/libfdt_env.h
