Explore the integration of Device Tree into the Zephyr Project in this informative conference talk by Andy Gross from Linaro. Gain insights into the challenges of system configuration for various hardware components and learn about the vendor-neutral approach being implemented. Discover how Device Tree simplifies board configuration and device initialization, especially for Cortex-M and constrained footprint devices. Understand the changes made to incorporate Device Tree into Zephyr, its impact on system configuration, and the ongoing developments in common definition formats and associated tools. Delve into topics such as Zephyr configuration, Device Tree implementation, MTL and SIMS usage, current state of the project, near-term goals, dynamic use cases, Python scripts and libraries, Linux bindings, dual licensing, scaffolding, booting processes, and realistic implementation scenarios. This comprehensive overview provides valuable knowledge for developers and engineers working with embedded systems and IoT projects. Read more
