Re: Invitation and RFC: Linux Plumbers Device Tree track proposed

An example of this is the various approaches proposed (with source code provided) to validate device tree source against valid bindings. As of today, device tree related tools, techniques, and debugging infrastructure have not progressed very far. I have submitted a device tree related proposal for the Linux Plumbers 2015 conference to spur action and innovation in such tools, techniques, and debugging infrastructure. The current title of the track is Device Tree Tools, Validation, and Troubleshooting. The proposal is located at http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2015:device_tree_tools_validation_and_trouble_shooting I am looking for several things at the moment: 1) Suggestions of additional topics to be discussed. 2) Emails or other messages expressing an interest in attending the device tree track. 3) Commitments to attend the device tree track (the conference committee is looking at attendee interest and commitments as part of the process of accepting the device tree track). It happens that I'll be in Seattle at the time for the KVM Forum. It's my intention to attend the Plumbers' device tree track, except where it collides with things I need to attend at KVM Forum. -- David Gibson| I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

Is there a device tree porting HOWTO anywhere? If I have a board
that's using explicit C initialization, and I want to convert it over
to device tree, step by step what do I do?
If I'm writing a new board support, what device tree bits do I need to
get a shell prompt on a serial port running out of initramfs?
(Physical memory, interrupt controller, timer to drive the scheduler,
serial chip...)
There's a bunch of device tree reference material out there, but no
tutorial material at all, that I can find...
