  1. Open Firmware Flat Tree and usage.
  2. ----------------------------------
  3. As part of the ongoing cleanup of the Linux PPC trees, the preferred
  4. way to pass bootloader and board setup information is the open
  5. firmware flat tree.
  6. Please take a look at the following email discussion for some
  7. background.

  10. The generated tree is part static and part dynamic.
  11. There is a static part which is compiled in with DTC and a dynamic
  12. part which is programmatically appended.
  13. You'll need a fairly recent DTC tool, which is available by git at
  14. rsync://ozlabs.org/dtc/dtc.git
  15. The xxd binary dumper is needed too which I got from
  16. ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/utilities/etc/xxd-1.10.tar.gz
