Yes. The /aliases node gives tremendous advantages. > I'm working on getting our device tree correct to be able to allow > u-boot to alter the device tree. Good. The "common/fdt_support.c" file should have all the utilities you need already written, assuming you have a proper /aliases node. > Is this all that's needed as my device tree is good as far as the kernel > booting with it and u-boot passes it fine to the kernel such that it > boots? > > Or somewhere there's some documentation that I didn't read and should > have? Are you telling us to WTFM? ;-) Adding the /aliases node and properties should be sufficient. This is not documented in any obvious way in u-boot (sorry). I don't see any documentation in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt either. It probably should be added. It probably should be considered to be one of the "Required nodes and properties". The /aliases node is a standard Open Firmware-ism, but it isn't real obvious to non OF gurus (and I'm not a OF guru). > Thanks, > John Best regards, gvb _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
