    ROCK Pi 4 >  Hardware >  Device Tree Overlays

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 Rock Pi, you will find a rockpi-4b-linux.dtb in /boot. This describes the hardware that is part of the Rock Pi board. The loader selects the .dtb file appropriate for the platform by name and pass it to the kernel.

Device Tree Overlays usage is controlled from /boot/hw_intfc.conf. You can do the settings for Rock Pi in your hw_intfc.conf, which should cause your Rock Pi to do your wanted things after a reboot.

In /boot/overlays you will find many .dtbo files. The loader will merge the selected .dtbo files by reading file /boot/hw_intfc.conf.

File hw_intfc.conf also can be found in [SDK rockchip-bsp] directory, rockchip-bsp/kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays/

Using Overlays

Overlays are loaded using "intfc:" directive. As an example, consider the at24c02 module. Add one line in hw_intfc.conf:

 intfc:dtoverlay=at24c02

This causes the file /boot/overlays/at24c02.dtbo to be loaded.

The Overlay and Parameter Reference

N.B. It is recommended to only ebable those bus interfaces that are needed. Leaving all interfaces enabled can lead to unwanted behaviour.

Seeing 40-pin GPIO connector , we find that UART4 and SPI1 share some pins, and I2C6 and SPI2 share some pins.

In order to solve the problem of pin conflicts, we make a convention.

When we set UART4 and SPI1 to "on" at the same, the system will forcibly set UART4 to "on" and SPI1 to "off" (Although you see SPI1 is “on” on file hw_intfc.conf,).

When we set I2C6 and SPI2 to "on" at the same time, the system will forcibly set I2C6 to "on" and SPI2 to "off".
