gcc 10 will default to -fno-common, which causes this error at link
time:
(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `yylloc'; dtc-lexer.lex.o (symbol from plugin):(.text+0x0): first defined here
This is because both dtc-lexer as well as dtc-parser define the same
global symbol yyloc. Before with -fcommon those were merged into one
defintion. The proper solution would be to to mark this as "extern",
however that leads to:
dtc-lexer.l:26:16: error: redundant redeclaration of 'yylloc' [-Werror=redundant-decls]
26 | extern YYLTYPE yylloc;
| ^~~~~~
In file included from dtc-lexer.l:24:
dtc-parser.tab.h:127:16: note: previous declaration of 'yylloc' was here
127 | extern YYLTYPE yylloc;
| ^~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
which means the declaration is completely redundant and can just be
dropped.

The source tree contains the Device Tree Compiler (dtc) toolchain for
working with device tree source and binary files and also libfdt, a
utility library for reading and manipulating the binary format.

Python library
--------------
A Python library is also available. To build this you will need to install
swig and Python development files. On Debian distributions:
sudo apt-get install swig python3-dev
The library provides an Fdt class which you can use like this:
$ PYTHONPATH=../pylibfdt python3
>>> import libfdt
>>> fdt = libfdt.Fdt(open('test_tree1.dtb', mode='rb').read())
>>> node = fdt.path_offset('/subnode@1')
>>> print(node)
124
>>> prop_offset = fdt.first_property_offset(node)
>>> prop = fdt.get_property_by_offset(prop_offset)
>>> print('%s=%s' % (prop.name, prop.as_str()))
compatible=subnode1
>>> node2 = fdt.path_offset('/')
>>> print(fdt.getprop(node2, 'compatible').as_str())
test_tree1
You will find tests in tests/pylibfdt_tests.py showing how to use each
method. Help is available using the Python help command, e.g.:
$ cd pylibfdt
$ python3 -c "import libfdt; help(libfdt)"
If you add new features, please check code coverage:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-coverage
$ cd tests
# It's just 'coverage' on most other distributions
$ python3-coverage run pylibfdt_tests.py
$ python3-coverage html
# Open 'htmlcov/index.html' in your browser
To install the library via the normal setup.py method, use:
./pylibfdt/setup.py install [--prefix=/path/to/install_dir]
If --prefix is not provided, the default prefix is used, typically '/usr'
or '/usr/local'. See Python's distutils documentation for details. You can
also install via the Makefile if you like, but the above is more common.
To install both libfdt and pylibfdt you can use:
make install [SETUP_PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir] \
[PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir]
To disable building the python library, even if swig and Python are available,
use:
make NO_PYTHON=1
More work remains to support all of libfdt, including access to numeric
values.
Tests
-----
Test files are kept in the tests/ directory. Use 'make check' to build and run
all tests.
If you want to adjust a test file, be aware that tree_tree1.dts is compiled
and checked against a binary tree from assembler macros in trees.S. So
if you change that file you must change tree.S also.
Mailing list
