Today, they are the kernel directory. There is an external project tracking just the *.dts files: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/ianc/device-tree-rebasing.git;a=summary I'm going to fork that repo, and add our *.dts changes, then it'll be really easy to generate a new *.dtb on the target with customization's... > If it is built only at kernel build time, is it possible to use #define > preprocessor logic to selectively enable pieces of the universal cape .dts* > files via menuconfig (and avoid end-users having to edit the .dts* files > themselves)?

Right now, in v3.14-ti we don't have hdmi audio, it was just posted for v3.17-rc1, so let the backporting begin: http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg66193.html I want to separate the two.. There will be an option to enable hdmi audio, or use a cape audio instead.
