This page is dedicated to the project bringing the flattened device tree (FDT) technology to the FreeBSD. For details contact RafalJaworowski. Work on this project was kindly sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation.

The objective of this project is to provide FreeBSD with the ability to use flattened device trees for description of hardware resources of a computer system and their dependencies, in a platform-neutral and portable way. The primary consumer of this functionality are embedded systems (based on ARM, AVR32, MIPS, PowerPC), but the mechanism can be used in all cases when hardware resources cannot be self-enumerated (as such could be seen as a future replacement for device.hints used in the legacy PC world).

The official project branch in P4.
