<h2>Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Currently, NuttX supports parsing of FDT(Flattened Device Tree) using libfdt, a
utility library for reading and manipulating the binary format:</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/">https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/</a></p>
<p>Based on that, NuttX has implemented some common functions to get properties.
Device Tree support in NuttX will reduce the configuration of chips/boards,
it is not used in NuttX kernel framework yet.</p>

<ol class="arabic simple" start="3">

<p>Chip/board will use fdt_get to get the DTB Address, and then use fdt_* APIs to
parse the DTB properties.</p>
