How can I change nodes order during building in device tree(fdt)












0














I faced with problem: nodes in device tree after compiling I have reverse order when read final fdt file. For example, I have



parent_node@10000{
<properties...>

child_node2{
<properties...>
};

child_node1{
<properties...>
};

child_node0{
<properties...>
};
};


Functions called in direct order to add nodes(checked with fdt-internals). What should I change in dt-compiler or fdt internals to make direct node order without permanent changing of dts content(swapping)? Like this



   parent_node@10000{
<properties...>

child_node0{
<properties...>
};

child_node1{
<properties...>
};

child_node2{
<properties...>
};
};

  • dtc has a -s option to sort nodes and properties before outputting, but I'm not sure which order it sorts them in.

  • I need to sort not only for outputting, but for target fdt(dtb) file.

  • I'm not sure why you need the child nodes to end up in a particular order. Is the code that iterates through the child nodes of the parent node under your control? If so, you could define a property in the parent node that contains a comma-separated list of phandles to the child nodes in the order you wish to process them. Your Linux code can call of_parse_phandle() to get the node at a particular index in the list. Start at index 0 in the list, then 1, etc. until it returns NULL, meaning you have reached the end of the list. (Don't forget to call of_node_put() on the returned nodes.)
