Introduction
============
This directory contains Device Tree overlays. Device Tree makes it possible
to support many hardware configurations with a single kernel and without the
need to explicitly load or blacklist kernel modules. Note that this isn't a
"pure" Device Tree configuration (c.f. MACH_BCM2835) - some on-board devices
are still configured by the board support code, but the intention is to
eventually reach that goal.
On Raspberry Pi, Device Tree usage is controlled from /boot/config.txt. By
default, the Raspberry Pi kernel boots with device tree enabled. You can
completely disable DT usage (for now) by adding:
device_tree=
to your config.txt, which should cause your Pi to revert to the old way of
doing things after a reboot.
In /boot you will find a .dtb for each base platform. This describes the
hardware that is part of the Raspberry Pi board. The loader (start.elf and its
siblings) selects the .dtb file appropriate for the platform by name, and reads
it into memory. At this point, all of the optional interfaces (i2c, i2s, spi)
are disabled, but they can be enabled using Device Tree parameters:
dtparam=i2c=on,i2s=on,spi=on
However, this shouldn't be necessary in many use cases because loading an
overlay that requires one of those interfaces will cause it to be enabled
automatically, and it is advisable to only enable interfaces if they are
needed.
Configuring additional, optional hardware is done using Device Tree overlays
(see below).
GPIO numbering uses the hardware pin numbering scheme (aka BCM scheme) and
not the physical pin numbers.
raspi-config
============
The Advanced Options section of the raspi-config utility can enable and disable
Device Tree use, as well as toggling the I2C and SPI interfaces. Note that it
is possible to both enable an interface and blacklist the driver, if for some
reason you should want to defer the loading.
Modules
=======
As well as describing the hardware, Device Tree also gives enough information
to allow suitable driver modules to be located and loaded, with the corollary
that unneeded modules are not loaded. As a result it should be possible to
remove lines from /etc/modules, and /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf can
have its contents deleted (or commented out).
Using Overlays
==============
Overlays are loaded using the "dtoverlay" config.txt setting. As an example,
consider I2C Real Time Clock drivers. In the pre-DT world these would be loaded
by writing a magic string comprising a device identifier and an I2C address to
a special file in /sys/class/i2c-adapter, having first loaded the driver for
the I2C interface and the RTC device - something like this:
modprobe i2c-bcm2835
modprobe rtc-ds1307
echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
With DT enabled, this becomes a line in config.txt:
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307
This causes the file /boot/overlays/i2c-rtc.dtbo to be loaded and a "node"
describing the DS1307 I2C device to be added to the Device Tree for the Pi. By
default it usees address 0x68, but this can be modified with an additional DT
parameter:
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307,addr=0x68
Parameters usually have default values, although certain parameters are
mandatory. See the list of overlays below for a description of the parameters
and their defaults.
Making new Overlays based on existing Overlays
==============================================
Recent overlays have been designed in a more general way, so that they can be
adapted to hardware by changing their parameters. When you have additional
hardware with more than one device of a kind, you end up using the same overlay
multiple times with other parameters, e.g.
# 2 CAN FD interfaces on spi but with different pins
dtoverlay=mcp251xfd,spi0-0,interrupt=25
dtoverlay=mcp251xfd,spi0-1,interrupt=24
# a realtime clock on i2c
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,pcf85063
While this approach does work, it requires knowledge about the hardware design.
It is more feasible to simplify things for the end user by providing a single
overlay as it is done the traditional way.
A new overlay can be generated by using ovmerge utility.
https://github.com/raspberrypi/utils/blob/master/ovmerge/ovmerge
To generate an overlay for the above configuration we pass the configuration
to ovmerge and add the -c flag.
ovmerge -c mcp251xfd-overlay.dts,spi0-0,interrupt=25 \
mcp251xfd-overlay.dts,spi0-1,interrupt=24 \
i2c-rtc-overlay.dts,pcf85063 \
>> merged-overlay.dts
The -c option writes the command above as a comment into the overlay as
a marker that this overlay is generated and how it was generated.
After compiling the overlay it can be loaded in a single line.
dtoverlay=merged
It does the same as the original configuration but without parameters.

number generator (default "on")
sd_overclock Clock (in MHz) to use when the MMC framework
requests 50MHz
sd_poll_once Looks for a card once after booting. Useful
for network booting scenarios to avoid the
overhead of continuous polling. N.B. Using
this option restricts the system to using a
single card per boot (or none at all).
(default off)
sd_force_pio Disable DMA support for SD driver (default off)
sd_pio_limit Number of blocks above which to use DMA for
SD card (default 1)
sd_debug Enable debug output from SD driver (default off)
sdio_overclock Clock (in MHz) to use when the MMC framework
requests 50MHz for the SDIO/WiFi interface.
tx_lpi_timer Set the delay in microseconds between going idle
and entering the low power state (default 600).
Requires EEE to be enabled - see "eee".
uart0 Set to "off" to disable uart0 (default "on")
uart1 Set to "on" or "off" to enable or disable uart1
(default varies)
watchdog Set to "on" to enable the hardware watchdog

act_led_trigger Choose which activity the LED tracks.
Use "heartbeat" for a nice load indicator.
(default "mmc")
act_led_activelow Set to "on" to invert the sense of the LED
(default "off")
N.B. For Pi 3B, 3B+, 3A+ and 4B, use the act-led
overlay.
act_led_gpio Set which GPIO to use for the activity LED
(in case you want to connect it to an external
device)
(default "16" on a non-Plus board, "47" on a
Plus or Pi 2)
N.B. For Pi 3B, 3B+, 3A+ and 4B, use the act-led
overlay.
pwr_led_trigger
pwr_led_activelow
pwr_led_gpio
As for act_led_*, but using the PWR LED.
Not available on Model A/B boards.
N.B. It is recommended to only enable those interfaces that are needed.
Leaving all interfaces enabled can lead to unwanted behaviour (i2c_vc
interfering with Pi Camera, I2S and SPI hogging GPIO pins, etc.)
Note also that i2c, i2c_arm and i2c_vc are aliases for the physical
interfaces i2c0 and i2c1. Use of the numeric variants is still possible
but deprecated because the ARM/VC assignments differ between board
revisions. The same board-specific mapping applies to i2c_baudrate,
and the other i2c baudrate parameters.
Name: act-led
Info: Pi 3B, 3B+, 3A+ and 4B use a GPIO expander to drive the LEDs which can
only be accessed from the VPU. There is a special driver for this with a
separate DT node, which has the unfortunate consequence of breaking the
act_led_gpio and act_led_activelow dtparams.
This overlay changes the GPIO controller back to the standard one and
restores the dtparams.

and drive the LED based on triggers such as cpu load, heartbeat,
kernel panic, key input, timers and others.
3) LED can be tied to the input state of another GPIO pin.
4) The LED is setup early during the kernel boot process (useful
for cpu/heartbeat/panic triggers).
Typical electrical connection is:
RPI-GPIO.19 -> LED -> 300ohm resister -> RPI-GND
The GPIO pin number can be changed with the 'gpio=' parameter.
To control an LED from userspace, write a 0 or 1 value:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/myled1/brightness
The 'myled1' name can be changed with the 'label=' parameter.
To connect the LED to a kernel trigger from userspace:
echo cpu > /sys/class/leds/myled1/trigger
echo heartbeat > /sys/class/leds/myled1/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/myled1/trigger
To connect the LED to GPIO.26 pin (physical pin 37):
echo gpio > /sys/class/leds/myled1/trigger
echo 26 > /sys/class/leds/myled1/gpio
Available triggers:
cat /sys/class/leds/myled1/trigger

Load: dtoverlay=gpio-led,<param>=<val>
Params: gpio GPIO pin connected to the LED (default 19)
label The label for this LED. It will appear under
/sys/class/leds/<label> . Default 'myled1'.
trigger Set the led-trigger to connect to this LED.
default 'none' (LED is user-controlled).
Some possible triggers:
cpu - CPU load (all CPUs)
cpu0 - CPU load of first CPU.
mmc - disk activity (all disks)
panic - turn on on kernel panic
heartbeat - indicate system health
gpio - connect to a GPIO input pin (note:
currently the GPIO PIN can not be set
using overlay parameters, must be
done in userspace, see examples above.
active_low Set to 1 to turn invert the LED control
(writing 0 to /sys/class/leds/XXX/brightness
will turn on the GPIO/LED). Default '0'.
Name: gpio-no-bank0-irq
Info: Use this overlay to disable GPIO interrupts for GPIOs in bank 0 (0-27),
which can be useful for UIO drivers.
N.B. Using this overlay will trigger a kernel WARN during booting, but
this can safely be ignored - the system should work as expected.
