Device Tree Generator

Device Tree Generator

[Marc Marí]

Hello everyone

In the context of Google Summer of Code project, I'm thinking to work
on a device-tree generator, starting at the Beagleboard platform.

To define better the scope of this project, so it can be useful too
outside this specific platform, I would like to ask for your opinions
in necessary and good-to-have features.

Thank you in advance

FYI: Xilinx have device-tree generator which extract information
from design tools.

Thanks,
Michal

And so does Altera ;)
I think it makes sense for reprogrammable devices (such as FPGA's) but
I'm not quite sure why you'd need a devicetree generator for a fairly
static board.

As far as I know, when you add extensions to the board, the device
tree has to be changed. They already developed a dynamic device tree
updater, but it has to be changed manually.

But, I already decided to do another project for which I'm more qualified.
