* Add fdtput utility to write property values to a device treeSimon Glass2012-01-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simple utility allows writing of values into a device tree from the command line. It aimes to be the opposite of fdtget. What is it for: - Updating fdt values when a binary blob already exists (even though source may be available it might be easier to use this utility rather than sed, etc.) - Writing machine-specific fdt values within a build system To use it, specify the fdt binary file on command line followed by the node and property to set. Then, provide a list of values to put into that property. Often there will be just one, but fdtput also supports arrays and string lists. fdtput does not try to guess the type of the property based on looking at the arguments. Instead it always assumes that an integer is provided. To indicate that you want to write a string, use -ts. You can also provide hex values with -tx. The command line arguments are joined together into a single value. For strings, a nul terminator is placed between each string when it is packed into the property. To avoid this, pass the string as a single argument. Usage: fdtput <options> <dt file> <<node> <property> [<value>...] Options: -t <type> Type of data -v Verbose: display each value decoded from command line -h Print this help <type> s=string, i=int, u=unsigned, x=hex Optional modifier prefix: hh or b=byte, h=2 byte, l=4 byte (default) To read from stdin and write to stdout, use - as the file. So you can do: cat somefile.dtb | fdtput -ts - /node prop "My string value" > newfile.dtb This commit also adds basic tests to verify the major features. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* Add fdtget utility to read property values from a device treeSimon Glass2012-01-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simply utility makes it easy for scripts to read values from the device tree. It is written in C and uses the same libfdt as the rest of the dtc package. What is it for: - Reading fdt values from scripts - Extracting fdt information within build systems - Looking at particular values without having to dump the entire tree To use it, specify the fdt binary file on command line followed by a list of node, property pairs. The utility then looks up each node, finds the property and displays the value. Each value is printed on a new line. fdtget tries to guess the type of each property based on its contents. This is not always reliable, so you can use the -t option to force fdtget to decode the value as a string, or byte, etc. To read from stdin, use - as the file. Usage: fdtget <options> <dt file> [<node> <property>]... Options: -t <type> Type of data -h Print this help <type> s=string, i=int, u=unsigned, x=hex Optional modifier prefix: hh or b=byte, h=2 byte, l=4 byte (default) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* fdtdump: rename from ftdumpMike Frysinger2011-10-261-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The freetype package already installs a binary named "ftdump", so the dtc package conflicts with that. So rename the newer dtc tool to "fdtdump". This even makes a bit more sense: ftdump: [F]lat device [T]ree [dump] fdtdump: [F]lat [D]evice [T]ree [dump] Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Acked-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* Create Makefile.utils and move ftdump into itSimon Glass2011-09-221-0/+10
We want to avoid a separate Makefile include for each utility, so this sets up a general one for utilities. Acked-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
