One Line Summary

This talk will focus on the status of debug facilities, how to debug device tree issues, and debug tips and tricks.

Abstract

Use of device tree is mandatory for all new ARM systems. But the implementation of device tree has lagged behind the mandate. The first priority has been correct function. Lower priorities include device tree validation and facilities to debug device tree problems and errors. This talk will focus on the status of debug facilities, how to debug device tree issues, and debug tips and tricks. Suggestions will be provided to driver writers for how to implement drivers to ease troubleshooting.
