Linux Device Tree Summary ------------------------- This is a summary of how the device tree source files (.dts) and the various include files (.dtsi) are broken down in the kernel. These files describe the hardware in a hierarchical and modular way to the kernel, connecting device drivers to the interfaces brought out by the carrier board. .. list-table:: Linux Device Tree Summary :widths: 25 50 25 :header-rows: 1 * - Hardware Target - Device Tree File Descriptions - Filename * - |local-default-kit| **(Default Kit)** - Default Device Tree (includes the other .dtsi files below) - k3-am62a7-phyboard-lyra-rdk.dts * - - Processor .dtsi - This file adds general support for the AM625x Processor from Texas Instruments - k3-am62a7.dtsi * - - SOM .dtsi- This file adds support for your specific SOM's population options - k3-am62a-phycore-som.dtsi * - - MIPI Camera Overlay - k3-am62-phyboard-lyra-vm016-mipi.dts * - - SPI0 Overlay - k3-am62-phyboard-lyra-x17-spi0.dts * - - GPIO Fan Overlay - k3-am62-phyboard-lyra-gpio-fan.dts * - - Disable OSPI NOR Overlay - k3-am6-phycore-disable-spi-nor.dts * - - Disable RTC Overlay - k3-am6-phycore-disable-rtc.dts * - - Disable SOM Ethernet PHY Overlay - k3-am6-phycore-disable-eth-phy.dts If designing your own custom carrier board around the |product| SOM, you will eventually define a custom device tree for your board that includes the .dtsi file for the SOM, which PHYTEC has provided for you. All the BSP changes custom for your application should eventually be consolidated into its own Meta Layer.
