Re: [U-Boot-Users] using a flat device tree to drive u-boot config

One topic that come up during OLS in discussions and u-boot BOF was the idea of driving u-boot configuration from a device tree instead of from "config.h". I was wondering if anyone has actually looked at doing this.

What about creating a tool that parses a device tree and creates (or updates) the board header file? This will retain compatibility with other platforms, clean up the existing header files (they won't need to contain as much information), and reduce the amount of changes to U-Boot itself.
