Description

Ultibo Flattened Device Tree (DTB) interface unit

Using Device Tree Blob (DTB) files for passing configuration information to the Linux kernel is now widely accepted as the standard method of providing platform specific information without it needing to be hard coded into the kernel at build time.

With this adoption of device tree by Linux it is becoming increasingly common for the only source of information about the runtime configuration of specific hardware to be found in the blob loaded and configured during startup by the firmware and passed to the kernel at the beginning of the boot process.

While Ultibo targets a much smaller range of devices than Linux and does not need the generic kernel model it still requires detailed configuration information in order to be able to interface with the full range of available devices.

It can also benefit from the ability to adapt to the runtime environment by checking for known device tree parameters while registering and initializing hardware and devices. Use of device tree is considered optional and Ultibo will operate correctly with or without the information provided, however some devices may be forced to operate in a fall back or default mode without the complete configuration.
