Device Tree Object Format Requirements ------------------------------------------ - -Since the Device Tree is used for booting a number of very different hardware -platforms it is imperative that we tread very carefully. - -2.a) No changes to the Device Tree binary format for the base tree. We cannot -modify the tree format at all and all the information we require should be -encoded using Device Tree itself. We can add nodes that can be safely ignored -by both bootloaders and the kernel. The plugin dtbs are optionally tagged -with a different magic number in the header but otherwise they're simple -blobs. - -2.b) Changes to the DTS source format should be absolutely minimal, and should -only be needed for the DT fragment definitions, and not the base boot DT. - -2.c) An explicit option should be used to instruct DTC to generate the required -information needed for object resolution. Platforms that don't use the -dynamic object format can safely ignore it. - -2.d) Finally, DT syntax changes should be kept to a minimum. It should be -possible to express everything using the existing DT syntax. - -3. Implementation ------------------ - -The basic unit of addressing in Device Tree is the phandle. Turns out it's -relatively simple to extend the way phandles are generated and referenced -so that it's possible to dynamically convert symbolic references (labels) -to phandle values.
