DTS (device tree source)
.dts文件是一种ASCII 文本格式的Device
Tree描述,此文本格式非常人性化,适合人类的阅读习惯。基本上,在ARM
Linux在,一个.dts文件对应一个ARM的machine,一般放置在内核的arch/arm/boot/dts/目录。由于一个SoC可能对应多个machine(一个SoC可以对应多个产品和电路板),势必这些.dts文件需包含许多共同的部分,Linux内核为了简化,把SoC公用的部分或者多个machine共同的部分一般提炼为.dtsi,类似于C语言的头文件。其他的machine对应的.dts就include这个.dtsi。譬如,对于VEXPRESS而言,vexpress-v2m.dtsi就被vexpress-v2p-ca9.dts所引用,
vexpress-v2p-ca9.dts有如下一行:
/include/
"vexpress-v2m.dtsi"
当然,和C语言的头文件类似,.dtsi也可以include其他的.dtsi,譬如几乎所有的ARM
SoC的.dtsi都引用了skeleton.dtsi。
.dts(或者其include的.dtsi)基本元素即为前文所述的结点和属性:
[plain] view
plaincopyprint?
/ {
node1 {
a-string-property = "A string";
a-string-list-property = "first string", "second string";
a-byte-data-property = [0x01 0x23 0x34 0x56];
child-node1 {
first-child-property;
second-child-property = <1>;
a-string-property = "Hello, world";
};
child-node2 {
};
};
node2 {
an-empty-property;
a-cell-property = <1 2 3 4>; /* each number (cell) is a uint32 */
child-node1 {
};
};
};
/ {
node1 {
a-string-property = "A string";
a-string-list-property = "first string", "second string";
a-byte-data-property = [0x01 0x23 0x34 0x56];
child-node1 {
first-child-property;
second-child-property = <1>;
a-string-property = "Hello, world";
};
child-node2 {
};
};
node2 {
an-empty-property;
a-cell-property = <1 2 3 4>; /* each number (cell) is a uint32 */
child-node1 {
};
};
};
上述.dts文件并没有什么真实的用途,但它基本表征了一个Device
Tree源文件的结构:
1个root结点"/";
root结点下面含一系列子结点,本例中为"node1" 和
"node2";
结点"node1"下又含有一系列子结点,本例中为"child-node1" 和
"child-node2";
各结点都有一系列属性。这些属性可能为空,如"
an-empty-property";可能为字符串,如"a-string-property";可能为字符串数组,如"a-string-list-property";可能为Cells(由u32整数组成),如"second-child-property",可能为二进制数,如"a-byte-data-property"。
下面以一个最简单的machine为例来看如何写一个.dts文件。假设此machine的配置如下:
1个双核ARM
Cortex-A9 32位处理器;
ARM的local bus上的内存映射区域分布了2个串口(分别位于0x101F1000 和
0x101F2000)、GPIO控制器(位于0x101F3000)、SPI控制器(位于0x10170000)、中断控制器(位于0x10140000)和一个external
bus桥;
External bus桥上又连接了SMC SMC91111
Ethernet(位于0x10100000)、I2C控制器(位于0x10160000)、64MB NOR
Flash(位于0x30000000);
External bus桥上连接的I2C控制器所对应的I2C总线上又连接了Maxim
DS1338实时钟(I2C地址为0x58)。
其对应的.dts文件为:

上述.dts文件中,root结点"/"的compatible 属性compatible =
"acme,coyotes-revenge";定义了系统的名称,它的组织形式为:<manufacturer>,<model>。Linux内核透过root结点"/"的compatible
属性即可判断它启动的是什么machine。
在.dts文件的每个设备,都有一个compatible
属性,compatible属性用户驱动和设备的绑定。compatible
属性是一个字符串的列表,列表中的第一个字符串表征了结点代表的确切设备,形式为"<manufacturer>,<model>",其后的字符串表征可兼容的其他设备。可以说前面的是特指,后面的则涵盖更广的范围。如在arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2m.dtsi中的Flash结点:
[plain] view
plaincopyprint?
flash@0,00000000 {
compatible = "arm,vexpress-flash", "cfi-flash";
reg = <0 0x00000000 0x04000000>,
<1 0x00000000 0x04000000>;
bank-width = <4>;
};
flash@0,00000000 {
compatible = "arm,vexpress-flash", "cfi-flash";
reg = <0 0x00000000 0x04000000>,
<1 0x00000000 0x04000000>;
bank-width = <4>;
};
compatible属性的第2个字符串"cfi-flash"明显比第1个字符串"arm,vexpress-flash"涵盖的范围更广。
再比如,Freescale
MPC8349 SoC含一个串口设备,它实现了国家半导体(National Semiconctor)的ns16550
寄存器接口。则MPC8349串口设备的compatible属性为compatible = "fsl,mpc8349-uart",
"ns16550"。其中,fsl,mpc8349-uart指代了确切的设备, ns16550代表该设备与National Semiconctor
的16550
UART保持了寄存器兼容。
接下来root结点"/"的cpus子结点下面又包含2个cpu子结点,描述了此machine上的2个CPU,并且二者的compatible
属性为"arm,cortex-a9"。
注意cpus和cpus的2个cpu子结点的命名,它们遵循的组织形式为:<name>[@<unit-address>],<>中的内容是必选项,[]中的则为可选项。name是一个ASCII字符串,用于描述结点对应的设备类型,如3com
Ethernet适配器对应的结点name宜为ethernet,而不是3com509。如果一个结点描述的设备有地址,则应该给出@unit-address。多个相同类型设备结点的name可以一样,只要unit-address不同即可,如本例中含有cpu@0、cpu@1以及serial@101f0000与serial@101f2000这样的同名结点。设备的unit-address地址也经常在其对应结点的reg属性中给出。ePAPR标准给出了结点命名的规范。
