Does this mean that the dtc inside the kernel is going to be the
required tool to use to build device trees? This change doesn't change
the DTB format, so it's as much of a concern, but was wondering if we're
intending to keep things compatible.
To be honest, I don't know enough to say either way. I am using the character
literals in a device tree that is used to configure a single firmware image for
multiple boards. That device tree is not currently passed on to the kernel.
Your question makes me think that there are two device tree compilers that I
should be paying attention to, is that the case? Or was it a more general
comment about diverging from a historic syntax for device tree source files?Both, really. There is a dtc at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/galak/dtc.git but it seems older than the one in the kernel. Also, the dts form is defined in the ePAPR documents, and this would be a (minor) divergence from that. David -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
