Device Tree Overlays
Introduction
This directory contains Device Tree overlays. Device Tree makes it possible to support many hardware configurations with a single kernel and without the need to explicitly load or blacklisr kernel modules.
On Radxa borad which uses linux5.10 kernel, you can use "rsetup" to load overlays that you want to enable, rsetup load overlays' dtbo from [Radxa/overlay]
How to enable a overlay dtbo
run "rsetup" command as below:
radxa@rock-4c-plus:~$ rsetup

Select the overlays you want to load with the space bar,
[*] rk3399-uart0.dtbo
Overlay with a "*" indicates that it is enabled.
How to use a overylay written by yourselt
DTBO code specification
Because of the number of products we have, writing the device tree overlay(dtbo) for each product has become a significant burden. To improve code reuse, you now need to specify metadata for dtbo to facilitate sharing of the same dtbo across different products. In our dtbo source file, you need add a new node named "matedata", this node needs the following fields:
* title: it's property is text, used to display in the rsetup menu, there is no necessary to also indicate the supported development board. * compatible: it's property is array, Compatible products or SOCs can be specified. If dtbo is not cross-product compatible, the corresponding SoC cannot be filled in. * category: text, Used to classify in the rsetup menu. At present, only 'display', 'camera' and 'misc' are defined * description: text, The functions and precautions of dtbo are briefly introduced, used to display dtbo when installing rsetup.
get the sdk source
[SDK rockchip-bsp]
install the tools
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git device-tree-compiler
get the source code and update it
git clone -b master https://github.com/radxa/rockchip-bsp.git cd rockchip-bsp git submodule init git submodule update cd rockchip-bsp git checkout master git fetch origin git rebase origin/master git submodule update
overlay source code are located under the directory "rockchip-bsp/kerne/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlay/",
write overlay code
example:
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { metadata { title = "Enable i2c7 on ROCK 4 plus"; compatible = "radxa,rock-4c-plus", "rockchip,rk3399"; category = "misc"; description = "Enable Radxa rock-4c-plus i2c7"; }; fragment@0 { target = <&i2c7>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; };
compile the dts to dtbo
