Gents, thanks for the link and the feedback. Much appreciated. I think to avoid getting "drowned" in the noise of the very low level schematic info, perhaps this can be handled by focusing on specific well defined busses to start with - not ideal but still. We have something at Xilinx that works at block diagram level but today it is limited. Gumstix seems to have a very interesting concept. Again thanks for the info!

I know that Gumstix has a tool that outputs a .dts for a board design. Mostly they do custom carrier boards for existing modules, so the new DTS builds on top of the baseboard dts. I haven't heard of any other projects. Traditional schematic capture operates at a pretty low level, so it may be difficult to generate useful .dts files from that. It would be interesting to have a tool that starts from a block diagram as input to the schematic capture and that could also output .dts descriptions. https://www.gumstix.com/geppetto/overview/#design Cheers, g. ��.n��������+%������w��{.n����z�{��ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
