Device Tree Validator & Generator

Validate device tree syntax and AOSP compatibility, or generate device tree templates based on your device specifications. Ensure your device trees follow best practices and are compatible with the latest AOSP versions.

What is the Device Tree Validator & Generator?

The Device Tree Validator & Generator is a comprehensive tool for creating, validating, and optimizing device tree configurations for AOSP devices. It ensures your device tree source (DTS) files are syntactically correct, AOSP-compliant, and follow hardware description best practices for optimal system performance and compatibility.

Supported Device Tree Components:

  • Device Tree Source (.dts) - Main device configuration and hardware description
  • Device Tree Include (.dtsi) - Shared configuration templates and common definitions
  • Overlay Files (.dtbo) - Dynamic device tree overlays for modular configurations
  • Binding Documentation - Hardware binding validation and documentation generation

Validation Accuracy

Detects syntax and compatibility issues with high precision

98% accuracy

Template Generation

Time to generate complete device tree template

< 5 minutes

💡 Best Practices for Device Trees

• Use descriptive node names that clearly identify hardware components

• Follow naming conventions established by the Linux kernel and AOSP

• Include proper documentation for custom properties and bindings

• Validate against schemas to ensure compatibility and correctness

• Use overlays for variants to maintain modular device configurations

• Test thoroughly on target hardware before production deployment

Tool Under Maintenance

The Device Tree Validator & Generator is currently undergoing maintenance to improve performance and reliability. We're working to resolve some technical issues and will have it back online soon.

What we're working on:

  • Enhanced syntax validation engine
  • Updated AOSP compatibility checks for Android 14+
  • Improved template generation algorithms
  • Better error reporting and suggestions
  • Performance optimizations for large device trees

Expected to be back online soon. Thank you for your patience!
