The Linux Plumbers 2015 Device Tree Tools, Validation, and Troubleshooting track focuses on tools (programs and scripts), techniques, and core support to enable creation of correct device trees and to support troubleshooting and debugging of incorrect device trees, drivers, and subsystems.

The tools encompass static (build and pre-boot) and dynamic (boot and run-time) environments.
