Open Firmware Flat Tree and usage. |
||||
---------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
As part of the ongoing cleanup of the Linux PPC trees, the preferred |
||||
way to pass bootloader and board setup information is the open |
||||
firmware flat tree. |
||||
|
||||
Please take a look at the following email discussion for some |
||||
background. |

||||
|
||||
The generated tree is part static and part dynamic. |
||||
|
||||
There is a static part which is compiled in with DTC and a dynamic |
||||
part which is programmatically appended. |
||||
|
||||
You'll need a fairly recent DTC tool, which is available by git at |
||||
|
||||
rsync://ozlabs.org/dtc/dtc.git |
||||
|
||||
The xxd binary dumper is needed too which I got from |
||||
|
||||
