[PATCH v2 3/6] Add fdtget utility to read property values from device tree

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Thu Sep 8 05:54:17 EST 2011


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>][<format>]	Type of data
	-h		Print this help

	<type>		One character (s=string, i=int, u=unsigned, b=byte)
	<format>	Optional format character (x=hex)

Changes in v2:
- Separate arguments for node and property
- Merge two related commits into this one
- Use structure for storing display options
- Remove use of getopt_long()
