virtual-dts-mode

This package provides an auto major mode to view device tree binary files by decompiling them into their equivalent device tree source files.

Features

• Transparantly convert device tree binary (dtb, dtbo) files between their device tree source (dts) representations.
• Bidirectional conversion on open and save:
  • Supports converting from binary representation to source representation (dtb -> dts)
  • On save, that source representation is automatically converted back to the binary representation (dts -> dtb).
• Works over TRAMP.
  • Allows editing a device tree directly on a target via SSH, automatically converting the device tree between binary and source representations as needed.

Requirements

• Emacs 26.1+ (latest tested: 30.0.50).
• The device tree compiler, dtc.
  • When virtual-dts-mode is used over TRAMP, dtc must be available on the target system.
