Solving Devicetree Issues, part 3.0- Frank Rowand, Sony

Using devicetree is painful. The framework does not help to develop correct system descriptions (device tree source) and drivers. Errors are often not visible or are hard to understand. But tools and process to make device tree easier to use are being added to Linux. This session will present new tools and techniques that have recently arrived in mainline or are under active development. This iis the third chapter of an ongoing story.

This talk covers different material than the first two chapters. For reference,

The first chapter is available at http://elinux.org/Device_Tree_frowand and the second chapter will be available after LinuxCon Japan at http://elinux.org/Device_Tree_presentations_papers_articles
