The thing I don't understand is why this stuff has to be so complicated. I understand that the device tree is necessary to be able to support the thousands of ARM SoC and boards, and that that's going to be complicated, but the HW for the BBB is fixed. Would it be possible to start with a simple file that lists the ~80 I/O pins of the BBB and next to each one has a little selector for which of the ~8 possible functions one would like to enable for this pin; and then compile this file into a DTS? It seems to me that a flat file like this is something anyone can grok and edit. The DTS files require hours of research and tinkering... Thorsten
