This is the documentation for the latest (main) development branch of Zephyr. If you are looking for the documentation of previous releases, use the drop-down menu on the left and select the desired version.

Devicetree API

This is a reference page for the <devicetree.h> API. The API is macro based. Use of these macros has no impact on scheduling. They can be used from any calling context and at file scope.

Some of these require a special macro named DT_DRV_COMPAT to be defined before they can be used; these are discussed individually below. These macros are generally meant for use within device drivers, though they can be used outside of drivers with appropriate care.

Generic APIs

The APIs in this section can be used anywhere and do not require DT_DRV_COMPAT to be defined.

Node identifiers and helpers

A node identifier is a way to refer to a devicetree node at C preprocessor time. While node identifiers are not C values, you can use them to access devicetree data in C rvalue form using, for example, the Property access API.

The root node / has node identifier DT_ROOT. You can create node identifiers for other devicetree nodes using DT_PATH(), DT_NODELABEL(), DT_ALIAS(), and DT_INST().

There are also DT_PARENT() and DT_CHILD() macros which can be used to create node identifiers for a given node’s parent node or a particular child node, respectively.

The following macros create or operate on node identifiers.

group devicetree-generic-id

Defines

DT_INVALID_NODE

Name for an invalid node identifier.

This supports cases where factored macros can be invoked from paths where devicetree data may or may not be available. It is a preprocessor identifier that does not match any valid devicetree node identifier.

DT_ROOT

Node identifier for the root node in the devicetree.

DT_PATH(...)

Get a node identifier for a devicetree path.

(This macro returns a node identifier from path components. To get a path string from a node identifier, use DT_NODE_PATH() instead.)

The arguments to this macro are the names of non-root nodes in the tree required to reach the desired node, starting from the root. Non-alphanumeric characters in each name must be converted to underscores to form valid C tokens, and letters must be lowercased.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        soc {
                serial1: serial@40001000 {
                        status = "okay";
                        current-speed = <115200>;
                        ...
                };
        };
};

You can use DT_PATH(soc, serial_40001000) to get a node identifier for the serial@40001000 node. Node labels like “serial1” cannot be used as DT_PATH() arguments; use DT_NODELABEL() for those instead.

Example usage with DT_PROP() to get the current-speed property:

DT_PROP(DT_PATH(soc, serial_40001000), current_speed) // 115200

(The current-speed property is also in “lowercase-and-underscores” form when used with this API.)

When determining arguments to DT_PATH():

• the first argument corresponds to a child node of the root (“soc” above)

• a second argument corresponds to a child of the first argument (“serial_40001000” above, from the node name “serial@40001000” after lowercasing and changing “@” to “_”)

• and so on for deeper nodes in the desired node’s path

Parameters

• ... – lowercase-and-underscores node names along the node’s path, with each name given as a separate argument

Returns

node identifier for the node with that path

DT_NODELABEL(label)

Get a node identifier for a node label.

Convert non-alphanumeric characters in the node label to underscores to form valid C tokens, and lowercase all letters. Note that node labels are not the same thing as label properties.

Example devicetree fragment:

serial1: serial@40001000 {
        label = "UART_0";
        status = "okay";
        current-speed = <115200>;
        ...
};

The only node label in this example is “serial1”.

The string “UART_0” is not a node label; it’s the value of a property named label.

You can use DT_NODELABEL(serial1) to get a node identifier for the serial@40001000 node. Example usage with DT_PROP() to get the current-speed property:

DT_PROP(DT_NODELABEL(serial1), current_speed) // 115200

Another example devicetree fragment:

cpu@0 {
       L2_0: l2-cache {
               cache-level = <2>;
               ...
       };
};

Example usage to get the cache-level property:

DT_PROP(DT_NODELABEL(l2_0), cache_level) // 2

Notice how “L2_0” in the devicetree is lowercased to “l2_0” in the DT_NODELABEL() argument.

Parameters

• label – lowercase-and-underscores node label name

Returns

node identifier for the node with that label

DT_ALIAS(alias)

Get a node identifier from /aliases.

This macro’s argument is a property of the /aliases node. It returns a node identifier for the node which is aliased. Convert non-alphanumeric characters in the alias property to underscores to form valid C tokens, and lowercase all letters.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        aliases {
                my-serial = &serial1;
        };

        soc {
                serial1: serial@40001000 {
                        status = "okay";
                        current-speed = <115200>;
                        ...
                };
        };
};

You can use DT_ALIAS(my_serial) to get a node identifier for the serial@40001000 node. Notice how my-serial in the devicetree becomes my_serial in the DT_ALIAS() argument. Example usage with DT_PROP() to get the current-speed property:

DT_PROP(DT_ALIAS(my_serial), current_speed) // 115200

Parameters

• alias – lowercase-and-underscores alias name.

Returns

node identifier for the node with that alias

DT_INST(inst, compat)

Get a node identifier for an instance of a compatible.

All nodes with a particular compatible property value are assigned instance numbers, which are zero-based indexes specific to that compatible. You can get a node identifier for these nodes by passing DT_INST() an instance number, “inst”, along with the lowercase-and-underscores version of the compatible, “compat”.

Instance numbers have the following properties:

• for each compatible, instance numbers start at 0 and are contiguous

• exactly one instance number is assigned for each node with a compatible, including disabled nodes

• enabled nodes (status property is “okay” or missing) are assigned the instance numbers starting from 0, and disabled nodes have instance numbers which are greater than those of any enabled node

No other guarantees are made. In particular:

• instance numbers in no way reflect any numbering scheme that might exist in SoC documentation, node labels or unit addresses, or properties of the /aliases node (use DT_NODELABEL() or DT_ALIAS() for those)

• there is no general guarantee that the same node will have the same instance number between builds, even if you are building the same application again in the same build directory

Example devicetree fragment:

serial1: serial@40001000 {
        compatible = "vnd,soc-serial";
        status = "disabled";
        current-speed = <9600>;
        ...
};

serial2: serial@40002000 {
        compatible = "vnd,soc-serial";
        status = "okay";
        current-speed = <57600>;
        ...
};

serial3: serial@40003000 {
        compatible = "vnd,soc-serial";
        current-speed = <115200>;
        ...
};

Assuming no other nodes in the devicetree have compatible “vnd,soc-serial”, that compatible has nodes with instance numbers 0, 1, and 2.

The nodes serial@40002000 and serial@40003000 are both enabled, so their instance numbers are 0 and 1, but no guarantees are made regarding which node has which instance number.

Since serial@40001000 is the only disabled node, it has instance number 2, since disabled nodes are assigned the largest instance numbers. Therefore:

// Could be 57600 or 115200. There is no way to be sure:
// either serial@40002000 or serial@40003000 could
// have instance number 0, so this could be the current-speed
// property of either of those nodes.
DT_PROP(DT_INST(0, vnd_soc_serial), current_speed)

// Could be 57600 or 115200, for the same reason.
// If the above expression expands to 57600, then
// this expands to 115200, and vice-versa.
DT_PROP(DT_INST(1, vnd_soc_serial), current_speed)

// 9600, because there is only one disabled node, and
// disabled nodes are "at the the end" of the instance
// number "list".
DT_PROP(DT_INST(2, vnd_soc_serial), current_speed)

Notice how “vnd,soc-serial” in the devicetree becomes vnd_soc_serial (without quotes) in the DT_INST() arguments. (As usual, current-speed in the devicetree becomes current_speed as well.)

Nodes whose “compatible” property has multiple values are assigned independent instance numbers for each compatible.

Parameters

• inst – instance number for compatible “compat”

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

Returns

node identifier for the node with that instance number and compatible

DT_PARENT(node_id)

Get a node identifier for a parent node.

Example devicetree fragment:

parent: parent-node {
        child: child-node {
                ...
        };
};

The following are equivalent ways to get the same node identifier:

DT_NODELABEL(parent)
DT_PARENT(DT_NODELABEL(child))

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

a node identifier for the node’s parent

DT_GPARENT(node_id)

Get a node identifier for a grandparent node.

Example devicetree fragment:

gparent: grandparent-node {
        parent: parent-node {
                child: child-node { ... }
        };
};

The following are equivalent ways to get the same node identifier:

DT_GPARENT(DT_NODELABEL(child))
DT_PARENT(DT_PARENT(DT_NODELABEL(child))

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

a node identifier for the node’s parent’s parent

DT_CHILD(node_id, child)

Get a node identifier for a child node.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        soc-label: soc {
                serial1: serial@40001000 {
                        status = "okay";
                        current-speed = <115200>;
                        ...
                };
        };
};

Example usage with DT_PROP() to get the status of the serial@40001000 node:

#define SOC_NODE DT_NODELABEL(soc_label)
DT_PROP(DT_CHILD(SOC_NODE, serial_40001000), status) // "okay"

Node labels like “serial1” cannot be used as the “child” argument to this macro. Use DT_NODELABEL() for that instead.

You can also use DT_FOREACH_CHILD() to iterate over node identifiers for all of a node’s children.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• child – lowercase-and-underscores child node name

Returns

node identifier for the node with the name referred to by ‘child’

DT_COMPAT_GET_ANY_STATUS_OKAY(compat)

Get a node identifier for a status “okay” node with a compatible.

Use this if you want to get an arbitrary enabled node with a given compatible, and you do not care which one you get. If any enabled nodes with the given compatible exist, a node identifier for one of them is returned. Otherwise, DT_INVALID_NODE is returned.

Example devicetree fragment:

 node-a {
    compatible = "vnd,device";
    status = "okay";
 };

 node-b {
    compatible = "vnd,device";
    status = "okay";
 };

 node-c {
    compatible = "vnd,device";
    status = "disabled";
 };

Example usage:

DT_COMPAT_GET_ANY_STATUS_OKAY(vnd_device)

This expands to a node identifier for either node-a or node-b. It will not expand to a node identifier for node-c, because that node does not have status “okay”.

Parameters

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

Returns

node identifier for a node with that compatible, or DT_INVALID_NODE

DT_NODE_PATH(node_id)

Get a devicetree node’s full path as a string literal.

This returns the path to a node from a node identifier. To get a node identifier from path components instead, use DT_PATH().

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        soc {
                node: my-node@12345678 { ... };
        };
};

Example usage:

DT_NODE_PATH(DT_NODELABEL(node)) // “/soc/my-node@12345678” DT_NODE_PATH(DT_PATH(soc)) // “/soc” DT_NODE_PATH(DT_ROOT) // “/”

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

the node’s full path in the devicetree

DT_NODE_FULL_NAME(node_id)

Get a devicetree node’s name with unit-address as a string literal.

This returns the node name and unit-address from a node identifier.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        soc {
                node: my-node@12345678 { ... };
        };
};

Example usage:

DT_NODE_FULL_NAME(DT_NODELABEL(node)) // “my-node@12345678”

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

the node’s name with unit-address as a string in the devicetree

DT_SAME_NODE(node_id1, node_id2)

Do node_id1 and node_id2 refer to the same node?

Both “node_id1” and “node_id2” must be node identifiers for nodes that exist in the devicetree (if unsure, you can check with DT_NODE_EXISTS()).

The expansion evaluates to 0 or 1, but may not be a literal integer 0 or 1.

Parameters

• node_id1 – first node identifer

• node_id2 – second node identifier

Returns

an expression that evaluates to 1 if the node identifiers refer to the same node, and evaluates to 0 otherwise

Property access

The following general-purpose macros can be used to access node properties. There are special-purpose APIs for accessing the reg property and interrupts property.

Property values can be read using these macros even if the node is disabled, as long as it has a matching binding.

group devicetree-generic-prop

Defines

DT_PROP(node_id, prop)

Get a devicetree property value.

For properties whose bindings have the following types, this macro expands to:

• string: a string literal

• boolean: 0 if the property is false, or 1 if it is true

• int: the property’s value as an integer literal

• array, uint8-array, string-array: an initializer expression in braces, whose elements are integer or string literals (like {0, 1, 2}, {“hello”, “world”}, etc.)

• phandle: a node identifier for the node with that phandle

A property’s type is usually defined by its binding. In some special cases, it has an assumed type defined by the devicetree specification even when no binding is available: “compatible” has type string-array, “status” and “label” have type string, and “interrupt-controller” has type boolean.

For other properties or properties with unknown type due to a missing binding, behavior is undefined.

For usage examples, see DT_PATH(), DT_ALIAS(), DT_NODELABEL(), and DT_INST() above.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

Returns

a representation of the property’s value

DT_PROP_LEN(node_id, prop)

Get a property’s logical length.

Here, “length” is a number of elements, which may differ from the property’s size in bytes.

The return value depends on the property’s type:

• for types array, string-array, and uint8-array, this expands to the number of elements in the array

• for type phandles, this expands to the number of phandles

• for type phandle-array, this expands to the number of phandle and specifier blocks in the property

These properties are handled as special cases:

• reg property: use DT_NUM_REGS(node_id) instead

• interrupts property: use DT_NUM_IRQS(node_id) instead

It is an error to use this macro with the reg or interrupts properties.

For other properties, behavior is undefined.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – a lowercase-and-underscores property with a logical length

Returns

the property’s length

DT_PROP_LEN_OR(node_id, prop, default_value)

Like DT_PROP_LEN(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the property is defined (as determined by DT_NODE_HAS_PROP()), this expands to DT_PROP_LEN(node_id, prop). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – a lowercase-and-underscores property with a logical length

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the property’s length or the given default value

DT_PROP_HAS_IDX(node_id, prop, idx)

Is index “idx” valid for an array type property?

If this returns 1, then DT_PROP_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx) or DT_PHA_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx, …) are valid at index “idx”. If it returns 0, it is an error to use those macros with that index.

These properties are handled as special cases:

• reg property: use DT_REG_HAS_IDX(node_id, idx) instead

• interrupts property: use DT_IRQ_HAS_IDX(node_id, idx) instead

It is an error to use this macro with the reg or interrupts properties.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – a lowercase-and-underscores property with a logical length

• idx – index to check

Returns

An expression which evaluates to 1 if “idx” is a valid index into the given property, and 0 otherwise.

DT_PROP_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx)

Get the value at index “idx” in an array type property.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->property[index]”.

When the property’s binding has type array, string-array, uint8-array, or phandles, this expands to the idx-th array element as an integer, string literal, or node identifier respectively.

These properties are handled as special cases:

• reg property: use DT_REG_ADDR_BY_IDX() or DT_REG_SIZE_BY_IDX() instead

• interrupts property: use DT_IRQ_BY_IDX() instead

For non-array properties, behavior is undefined.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

• idx – the index to get

Returns

a representation of the idx-th element of the property

DT_PROP_OR(node_id, prop, default_value)

Like DT_PROP(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the value exists, this expands to DT_PROP(node_id, prop). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the property’s value or default_value

DT_LABEL(node_id)

Equivalent to DT_PROP(node_id, label)

This is a convenience for the Zephyr device API, which uses label properties as device_get_binding() arguments.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

node’s label property value

DT_ENUM_IDX(node_id, prop)

Get a property value’s index into its enumeration values.

The return values start at zero.

Example devicetree fragment:

usb1: usb@12340000 {
        maximum-speed = "full-speed";
};
usb2: usb@12341000 {
        maximum-speed = "super-speed";
};

Example bindings fragment:

properties:
  maximum-speed:
    type: string
    enum:
       - "low-speed"
       - "full-speed"
       - "high-speed"
       - "super-speed"

Example usage:

DT_ENUM_IDX(DT_NODELABEL(usb1), maximum_speed) // 1
DT_ENUM_IDX(DT_NODELABEL(usb2), maximum_speed) // 3

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

Returns

zero-based index of the property’s value in its enum: list

DT_ENUM_IDX_OR(node_id, prop, default_idx_value)

Like DT_ENUM_IDX(), but with a fallback to a default enum index.

If the value exists, this expands to its zero based index value thanks to DT_ENUM_IDX(node_id, prop).

Otherwise, this expands to provided default index enum value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

• default_idx_value – a fallback index value to expand to

Returns

zero-based index of the property’s value in its enum if present, default_idx_value ohterwise

DT_STRING_TOKEN(node_id, prop)

Get a string property’s value as a token.

This removes “the quotes” from string-valued properties, and converts non-alphanumeric characters to underscores. That can be useful, for example, when programmatically using the value to form a C variable or code.

DT_STRING_TOKEN() can only be used for properties with string type.

It is an error to use DT_STRING_TOKEN() in other circumstances.

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        prop = "foo";
};
n2: node-2 {
        prop = "FOO";
}
n3: node-3 {
        prop = "123 foo";
};

Example bindings fragment:

properties:
  prop:
    type: string

Example usage:

DT_STRING_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n1), prop) // foo
DT_STRING_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n2), prop) // FOO
DT_STRING_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n3), prop) // 123_foo

Notice how:

• Unlike C identifiers, the property values may begin with a number. It’s the user’s responsibility not to use such values as the name of a C identifier.

• The uppercased “FOO” in the DTS remains FOO as a token. It is not converted to foo.

• The whitespace in the DTS “123 foo” string is converted to 123_foo as a token.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property string name

Returns

the value of prop as a token, i.e. without any quotes and with special characters converted to underscores

DT_STRING_UPPER_TOKEN(node_id, prop)

Like DT_STRING_TOKEN(), but uppercased.

This removes “the quotes and capitalize” from string-valued properties, and converts non-alphanumeric characters to underscores. That can be useful, for example, when programmatically using the value to form a C variable or code.

DT_STRING_UPPER_TOKEN() can only be used for properties with string type.

It is an error to use DT_STRING_UPPER_TOKEN() in other circumstances.

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        prop = "foo";
};
n2: node-2 {
        prop = "123 foo";
};

Example bindings fragment:

properties:
  prop:
    type: string

Example usage:

DT_STRING_UPPER_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n1), prop) // FOO
DT_STRING_UPPER_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n2), prop) // 123_FOO

Notice how:

• Unlike C identifiers, the property values may begin with a number. It’s the user’s responsibility not to use such values as the name of a C identifier.

• The lowercased “foo” in the DTS becomes FOO as a token, i.e. it is uppercased.

• The whitespace in the DTS “123 foo” string is converted to 123_FOO as a token, i.e. it is uppercased and whitespace becomes an underscore.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property string name

Returns

the value of prop as a token, i.e. without any quotes and with special characters converted to underscores

DT_ENUM_TOKEN(node_id, prop)

Get an enumeration property’s value as a token.

This allows you to “remove the quotes” from some string-valued properties. That can be useful, for example, when pasting the values onto some other token to form an enum in C using the ## preprocessor operator.

DT_ENUM_TOKEN() can only be used for properties with string type whose binding has an “enum:”. The values in the binding’s “enum:” list must be unique after converting non-alphanumeric characters to underscores.

It is an error to use DT_ENUM_TOKEN() in other circumstances.

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        prop = "foo";
};
n2: node-2 {
        prop = "FOO";
}
n3: node-3 {
        prop = "123 foo";
};

Example bindings fragment:

properties:
  prop:
    type: string
    enum:
       - "foo"
       - "FOO"
       - "123 foo"

Example usage:

DT_ENUM_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n1), prop) // foo
DT_ENUM_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n2), prop) // FOO
DT_ENUM_TOKEN(DT_NODELABEL(n3), prop) // 123_foo

Notice how:

• Unlike C identifiers, the property values may begin with a number. It’s the user’s responsibility not to use such values as the name of a C identifier.

• The uppercased “FOO” in the DTS remains FOO as a token. It is not* converted to foo.

• The whitespace in the DTS “123 foo” string is converted to 123_foo as a token.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name with suitable enumeration of values in its binding

Returns

the value of prop as a token, i.e. without any quotes and with special characters converted to underscores

DT_ENUM_UPPER_TOKEN(node_id, prop)

Like DT_ENUM_TOKEN(), but uppercased.

This allows you to “remove the quotes and capitalize” some string-valued properties.

DT_ENUM_UPPER_TOKEN() can only be used for properties with string type whose binding has an “enum:”. The values in the binding’s “enum:” list must be unique after converting non-alphanumeric characters to underscores and capitalizating any letters.

It is an error to use DT_ENUM_UPPER_TOKEN() in other circumstances.

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        prop = "foo";
};
n2: node-2 {
        prop = "123 foo";
};

Example bindings fragment:

properties:
  prop:
    type: string
    enum:
       - "foo"
       - "123 foo"

Example usage:

DT_ENUM_TOKEN((DT_NODELABEL(n1), prop) // FOO
DT_ENUM_TOKEN((DT_NODELABEL(n2), prop) // 123_FOO

Notice how:

• Unlike C identifiers, the property values may begin with a number. It’s the user’s responsibility not to use such values as the name of a C identifier.

• The lowercased “foo” in the DTS becomes FOO as a token, i.e. it is uppercased.

• The whitespace in the DTS “123 foo” string is converted to 123_FOO as a token, i.e. it is uppercased and whitespace becomes an underscore.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name with suitable enumeration of values in its binding

Returns

the value of prop as a capitalized token, i.e. upper case, without any quotes, and with special characters converted to underscores

DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(node_id, phs, idx, prop)

Get a property value from a phandle in a property.

This is a shorthand for:

DT_PROP(DT_PHANDLE_BY_IDX(node_id, phs, idx), prop)

That is, “prop” is a property of the phandle’s node, not a property of “node_id”.

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        foo = <&n2 &n3>;
};

n2: node-2 {
        bar = <42>;
};

n3: node-3 {
        baz = <43>;
};

Example usage:

#define N1 DT_NODELABEL(n1)

DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(N1, foo, 0, bar) // 42
DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(N1, foo, 1, baz) // 43

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• phs – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle”, “phandles”, or “phandle-array”

• idx – logical index into “phs”, which must be zero if “phs” has type “phandle”

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property of the phandle’s node

Returns

the property’s value

DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX_OR(node_id, phs, idx, prop, default_value)

Like DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the value exists, this expands to DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(node_id, phs, idx, prop). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• phs – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle”, “phandles”, or “phandle-array”

• idx – logical index into “phs”, which must be zero if “phs” has type “phandle”

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property of the phandle’s node

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the property’s value

DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE(node_id, ph, prop)

Get a property value from a phandle’s node.

This is equivalent to DT_PROP_BY_PHANDLE_IDX(node_id, ph, 0, prop).

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• ph – lowercase-and-underscores property of “node_id” with type “phandle”

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property of the phandle’s node

Returns

the property’s value

DT_PHA_BY_IDX(node_id, pha, idx, cell)

Get a phandle-array specifier cell value at an index.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->phandle_array[index].cell”. That is, the cell value is in the “pha” property of “node_id”, inside the specifier at index “idx”.

Example devicetree fragment:

gpio0: gpio@... {
        #gpio-cells = <2>;
};

gpio1: gpio@... {
        #gpio-cells = <2>;
};

led: led_0 {
        gpios = <&gpio0 17 0x1>, <&gpio1 5 0x3>;
};

Bindings fragment for the gpio0 and gpio1 nodes:

gpio-cells:
  - pin
  - flags

Above, “gpios” has two elements:

• index 0 has specifier <17 0x1>, so its “pin” cell is 17, and its “flags” cell is 0x1

• index 1 has specifier <5 0x3>, so “pin” is 5 and “flags” is 0x3

Example usage:

#define LED DT_NODELABEL(led)

DT_PHA_BY_IDX(LED, gpios, 0, pin)   // 17
DT_PHA_BY_IDX(LED, gpios, 1, flags) // 0x3

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• idx – logical index into “pha”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name within the specifier at “pha” index “idx”

Returns

the cell’s value

DT_PHA_BY_IDX_OR(node_id, pha, idx, cell, default_value)

Like DT_PHA_BY_IDX(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the value exists, this expands to DT_PHA_BY_IDX(node_id, pha, idx, cell). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• idx – logical index into “pha”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name within the specifier at “pha” index “idx”

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the cell’s value or “default_value”

DT_PHA(node_id, pha, cell)

Equivalent to DT_PHA_BY_IDX(node_id, pha, 0, cell)

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name

Returns

the cell’s value

DT_PHA_OR(node_id, pha, cell, default_value)

Like DT_PHA(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the value exists, this expands to DT_PHA(node_id, pha, cell). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the cell’s value or default_value

DT_PHA_BY_NAME(node_id, pha, name, cell)

Get a value within a phandle-array specifier by name.

This is like DT_PHA_BY_IDX(), except it treats “pha” as a structure where each array element has a name.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->phandle_struct.name.cell”. That is, the cell value is in the “pha” property of “node_id”, treated as a data structure where each array element has a name.

Example devicetree fragment:

n: node {
        io-channels = <&adc1 10>, <&adc2 20>;
        io-channel-names = "SENSOR", "BANDGAP";
};

Bindings fragment for the “adc1” and “adc2” nodes:

io-channel-cells:
  - input

Example usage:

DT_PHA_BY_NAME(DT_NODELABEL(n), io_channels, sensor, input)  // 10
DT_PHA_BY_NAME(DT_NODELABEL(n), io_channels, bandgap, input) // 20

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• name – lowercase-and-underscores name of a specifier in “pha”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name in the named specifier

Returns

the cell’s value

DT_PHA_BY_NAME_OR(node_id, pha, name, cell, default_value)

Like DT_PHA_BY_NAME(), but with a fallback to default_value.

If the value exists, this expands to DT_PHA_BY_NAME(node_id, pha, name, cell). The default_value parameter is not expanded in this case.

Otherwise, this expands to default_value.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• name – lowercase-and-underscores name of a specifier in “pha”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name in the named specifier

• default_value – a fallback value to expand to

Returns

the cell’s value or default_value

DT_PHANDLE_BY_NAME(node_id, pha, name)

Get a phandle’s node identifier from a phandle array by name.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->phandle_struct.name.phandle”. That is, the phandle array is treated as a structure with named elements. The return value is the node identifier for a phandle inside the structure.

Example devicetree fragment:

adc1: adc@... {
        label = "ADC_1";
};

adc2: adc@... {
        label = "ADC_2";
};

n: node {
        io-channels = <&adc1 10>, <&adc2 20>;
        io-channel-names = "SENSOR", "BANDGAP";
};

Above, “io-channels” has two elements:

• the element named “SENSOR” has phandle &adc1

• the element named “BANDGAP” has phandle &adc2

Example usage:

#define NODE DT_NODELABEL(n)

DT_LABEL(DT_PHANDLE_BY_NAME(NODE, io_channels, sensor))  // "ADC_1"
DT_LABEL(DT_PHANDLE_BY_NAME(NODE, io_channels, bandgap)) // "ADC_2"

Notice how devicetree properties and names are lowercased, and non-alphanumeric characters are converted to underscores.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• name – lowercase-and-underscores name of an element in “pha”

Returns

a node identifier for the node with that phandle

DT_PHANDLE_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx)

Get a node identifier for a phandle in a property.

When a node’s value at a logical index contains a phandle, this macro returns a node identifier for the node with that phandle.

Therefore, if “prop” has type “phandle”, “idx” must be zero. (A “phandle” type is treated as a “phandles” with a fixed length of 1).

Example devicetree fragment:

n1: node-1 {
        foo = <&n2 &n3>;
};

n2: node-2 { ... };
n3: node-3 { ... };

Above, “foo” has type phandles and has two elements:

• index 0 has phandle &n2, which is node-2’s phandle

• index 1 has phandle &n3, which is node-3’s phandle

Example usage:

#define N1 DT_NODELABEL(n1)

DT_PHANDLE_BY_IDX(N1, foo, 0) // node identifier for node-2
DT_PHANDLE_BY_IDX(N1, foo, 1) // node identifier for node-3

Behavior is analogous for phandle-arrays.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name in “node_id” with type “phandle”, “phandles” or “phandle-array”

• idx – index into “prop”

Returns

node identifier for the node with the phandle at that index

DT_PHANDLE(node_id, prop)

Get a node identifier for a phandle property’s value.

This is equivalent to DT_PHANDLE_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, 0). Its primary benefit is readability when “prop” has type “phandle”.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property of “node_id” with type “phandle”

Returns

a node identifier for the node pointed to by “ph”

reg property

Use these APIs instead of Property access to access the reg property. Because this property’s semantics are defined by the devicetree specification, these macros can be used even for nodes without matching bindings.

group devicetree-reg-prop

Defines

DT_NUM_REGS(node_id)

Get the number of register blocks in the reg property.

Use this instead of DT_PROP_LEN(node_id, reg).

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

Number of register blocks in the node’s “reg” property.

DT_REG_HAS_IDX(node_id, idx)

Is “idx” a valid register block index?

If this returns 1, then DT_REG_ADDR_BY_IDX(node_id, idx) or DT_REG_SIZE_BY_IDX(node_id, idx) are valid. If it returns 0, it is an error to use those macros with index “idx”.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• idx – index to check

Returns

1 if “idx” is a valid register block index, 0 otherwise.

DT_REG_ADDR_BY_IDX(node_id, idx)

Get the base address of the register block at index “idx”.

• idx – index of the register whose address to return

Returns

address of the idx-th register block

DT_REG_SIZE_BY_IDX(node_id, idx)

Get the size of the register block at index “idx”.

This is the size of an individual register block, not the total number of register blocks in the property; use DT_NUM_REGS() for that.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• idx – index of the register whose size to return

Returns

size of the idx-th register block

DT_REG_ADDR(node_id)

Get a node’s (only) register block address.

Returns

node’s register block address

DT_REG_SIZE(node_id)

Get a node’s (only) register block size.

Equivalent to DT_REG_SIZE_BY_IDX(node_id, 0).

Returns

node’s only register block’s size

DT_REG_ADDR_BY_NAME(node_id, name)

Get a register block’s base address by name.

Returns

address of the register block specified by name

DT_REG_SIZE_BY_NAME(node_id, name)

Get a register block’s size by name.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• name – lowercase-and-underscores register specifier name

Returns

size of the register block specified by name

interrupts property

Use these APIs instead of Property access to access the interrupts property.

Because this property’s semantics are defined by the devicetree specification, some of these macros can be used even for nodes without matching bindings. This does not apply to macros which take cell names as arguments.

group devicetree-interrupts-prop

Defines

DT_NUM_IRQS(node_id)

Get the number of interrupt sources for the node.

Use this instead of DT_PROP_LEN(node_id, interrupts).

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

Number of interrupt specifiers in the node’s “interrupts” property.

DT_IRQ_HAS_IDX(node_id, idx)

Is “idx” a valid interrupt index?

If this returns 1, then DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(node_id, idx) is valid. If it returns 0, it is an error to use that macro with this index.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• idx – index to check

Returns

1 if the idx is valid for the interrupt property 0 otherwise.

DT_IRQ_HAS_CELL_AT_IDX(node_id, idx, cell)

Does an interrupts property have a named cell specifier at an index? If this returns 1, then DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(node_id, idx, cell) is valid. If it returns 0, it is an error to use that macro.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• idx – index to check

• cell – named cell value whose existence to check

Returns

1 if the named cell exists in the interrupt specifier at index idx 0 otherwise.

DT_IRQ_HAS_CELL(node_id, cell)

Equivalent to DT_IRQ_HAS_CELL_AT_IDX(node_id, 0, cell)

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• cell – named cell value whose existence to check

Returns

1 if the named cell exists in the interrupt specifier at index 0 0 otherwise.

DT_IRQ_HAS_NAME(node_id, name)

Does an interrupts property have a named specifier value at an index? If this returns 1, then DT_IRQ_BY_NAME(node_id, name, cell) is valid. If it returns 0, it is an error to use that macro.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• name – lowercase-and-underscores interrupt specifier name

Returns

1 if “name” is a valid named specifier 0 otherwise.

DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(node_id, idx, cell)

Get a value within an interrupt specifier at an index.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->interrupts[index].cell”.

This can be used to get information about an individual interrupt when a device generates more than one.

Example devicetree fragment:

my-serial: serial@... {
        interrupts = < 33 0 >, < 34 1 >;
};

Assuming the node’s interrupt domain has “#interrupt-cells = <2>;” and the individual cells in each interrupt specifier are named “irq” and “priority” by the node’s binding, here are some examples:

#define SERIAL DT_NODELABEL(my_serial)

Example usage                       Value
-------------                       -----
DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(SERIAL, 0, irq)          33
DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(SERIAL, 0, priority)      0
DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(SERIAL, 1, irq,          34
DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(SERIAL, 1, priority)      1

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• idx – logical index into the interrupt specifier array

• cell – cell name specifier

Returns

the named value at the specifier given by the index

DT_IRQ_BY_NAME(node_id, name, cell)

Get a value within an interrupt specifier by name.

It might help to read the argument order as being similar to “node->interrupts.name.cell”.

This can be used to get information about an individual interrupt when a device generates more than one, if the bindings give each interrupt specifier a name.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• name – lowercase-and-underscores interrupt specifier name

• cell – cell name specifier

Returns

the named value at the specifier given by the index

DT_IRQ(node_id, cell)

Get an interrupt specifier’s value Equivalent to DT_IRQ_BY_IDX(node_id, 0, cell).

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• cell – cell name specifier

Returns

the named value at that index

DT_IRQN(node_id)

Get a node’s (only) irq number.

Equivalent to DT_IRQ(node_id, irq). This is provided as a convenience for the common case where a node generates exactly one interrupt, and the IRQ number is in a cell named “irq”.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

the interrupt number for the node’s only interrupt

For-each macros

There is currently only one “generic” for-each macro, DT_FOREACH_CHILD(), which allows iterating over the children of a devicetree node.

There are special-purpose for-each macros, like DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(), but these require DT_DRV_COMPAT to be defined before use.

group devicetree-generic-foreach

Defines

DT_FOREACH_CHILD(node_id, fn)

Invokes “fn” for each child of “node_id”.

The macro “fn” must take one parameter, which will be the node identifier of a child node of “node_id”.

Example devicetree fragment:

n: node {
        child-1 {
                label = "foo";
        };
        child-2 {
                label = "bar";
        };
};

Example usage:

#define LABEL_AND_COMMA(node_id) DT_LABEL(node_id),

const char *child_labels[] = {
    DT_FOREACH_CHILD(DT_NODELABEL(n), LABEL_AND_COMMA)
};

This expands to:

const char *child_labels[] = {
    "foo", "bar",
};

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• fn – macro to invoke

DT_FOREACH_CHILD_VARGS(node_id, fn, ...)

Invokes “fn” for each child of “node_id” with multiple arguments.

The macro “fn” takes multiple arguments. The first should be the node identifier for the child node. The remaining are passed-in by the caller.

See also

DT_FOREACH_CHILD

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• fn – macro to invoke

• ... – variable number of arguments to pass to fn

DT_FOREACH_CHILD_STATUS_OKAY(node_id, fn)

Call “fn” on the child nodes with status “okay”.

The macro “fn” should take one argument, which is the node identifier for the child node.

As usual, both a missing status and an “ok” status are treated as “okay”.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• fn – macro to invoke

DT_FOREACH_CHILD_STATUS_OKAY_VARGS(node_id, fn, ...)

Call “fn” on the child nodes with status “okay” with multiple arguments.

The macro “fn” takes multiple arguments. The first should be the node identifier for the child node. The remaining are passed-in by the caller.

As usual, both a missing status and an “ok” status are treated as “okay”.

See also

DT_FOREACH_CHILD_STATUS_OKAY

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• fn – macro to invoke

• ... – variable number of arguments to pass to fn

DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM(node_id, prop, fn)

Invokes “fn” for each element in the value of property “prop”.

The macro “fn” must take three parameters: fn(node_id, prop, idx). “node_id” and “prop” are the same as what is passed to DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM, and “idx” is the current index into the array. The “idx” values are integer literals starting from 0.

Example devicetree fragment:

n: node {
        my-ints = <1 2 3>;
};

Example usage:

#define TIMES_TWO(node_id, prop, idx) \
        (2 * DT_PROP_BY_IDX(node_id, prop, idx)),

int array[] = {
        DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM(DT_NODELABEL(n), my_ints, TIMES_TWO)
};

This expands to:

int array[] = {
        (2 * 1), (2 * 2), (2 * 3),
};

In general, this macro expands to:

fn(node_id, prop, 0) fn(node_id, prop, 1) [...] fn(node_id, prop, n-1)

where “n” is the number of elements in “prop”, as it would be returned by DT_PROP_LEN(node_id, prop).

The “prop” argument must refer to a property with type string, array, uint8-array, string-array, phandles, or phandle-array. It is an error to use this macro with properties of other types.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

• fn – macro to invoke

DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM_VARGS(node_id, prop, fn, ...)

Invokes “fn” for each element in the value of property “prop” with multiple arguments.

The macro “fn” must take multiple parameters: fn(node_id, prop, idx, …). “node_id” and “prop” are the same as what is passed to DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM, and “idx” is the current index into the array. The “idx” values are integer literals starting from 0. The remaining arguments are passed-in by the caller.

See also

DT_FOREACH_PROP_ELEM

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

• fn – macro to invoke

• ... – variable number of arguments to pass to fn

DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(compat, fn)

Call “fn” on all nodes with compatible DT_DRV_COMPAT and status “okay”.

This macro expands to:

fn(node_id_1) fn(node_id_2) ... fn(node_id_n)

where each “node_id_<i>” is a node identifier for some node with compatible “compat” and status “okay”. Whitespace is added between expansions as shown above.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        a {
                compatible = "foo";
                status = "okay";
        };
        b {
                compatible = "foo";
                status = "disabled";
        };
        c {
                compatible = "foo";
        };
};

Example usage:

DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(foo, DT_NODE_PATH)

This expands to one of the following:

"/a" "/c"
"/c" "/a"

“One of the following” is because no guarantees are made about the order that node identifiers are passed to “fn” in the expansion.

(The “/c” string literal is present because a missing status property is always treated as if the status were set to “okay”.)

Note also that “fn” is responsible for adding commas, semicolons, or other terminators as needed.

Parameters

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores devicetree compatible

• fn – Macro to call for each enabled node. Must accept a node_id as its only parameter.

DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY_VARGS(compat, fn, ...)

Invokes “fn” for each status “okay” node of a compatible with multiple arguments.

This is like DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY() except you can also pass additional arguments to “fn”.

Example devicetree fragment:

/ {
        a {
                compatible = "foo";
                val = <3>;
        };
        b {
                compatible = "foo";
                val = <4>;
        };
};

Example usage:

#define MY_FN(node_id, operator) DT_PROP(node_id, val) operator
x = DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY_VARGS(foo, MY_FN, +) 0;

This expands to one of the following:

x = 3 + 4 + 0;
x = 4 + 3 + 0;

i.e. it sets x to 7. As with DT_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(), there are no guarantees about the order nodes appear in the expansion.

Parameters

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores devicetree compatible

• fn – Macro to call for each enabled node. Must accept a node_id as its only parameter.

• ... – Additional arguments to pass to “fn”

Existence checks

This section documents miscellaneous macros that can be used to test if a node exists, how many nodes of a certain type exist, whether a node has certain properties, etc. Some macros used for special purposes (such as DT_IRQ_HAS_IDX() and all macros which require DT_DRV_COMPAT) are documented elsewhere on this page.

group devicetree-generic-exist

Defines

DT_NODE_EXISTS(node_id)

Does a node identifier refer to a node?

Tests whether a node identifier refers to a node which exists, i.e. is defined in the devicetree.

It doesn’t matter whether or not the node has a matching binding, or what the node’s status value is. This is purely a check of whether the node exists at all.

Parameters

• node_id – a node identifier

Returns

1 if the node identifier refers to a node, 0 otherwise.

DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(node_id, status)

Does a node identifier refer to a node with a status?

Example uses:

DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(DT_PATH(soc, i2c_12340000), okay)
DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(DT_PATH(soc, i2c_12340000), disabled)

Tests whether a node identifier refers to a node which:

• exists in the devicetree, and

• has a status property matching the second argument (except that either a missing status or an “ok” status in the devicetree is treated as if it were “okay” instead)

Parameters

• node_id – a node identifier

• status – a status as one of the tokens okay or disabled, not a string

Returns

1 if the node has the given status, 0 otherwise.

DT_HAS_COMPAT_STATUS_OKAY(compat)

Does the devicetree have a status “okay” node with a compatible?

Test for whether the devicetree has any nodes with status “okay” and the given compatible. That is, this returns 1 if and only if there is at least one “node_id” for which both of these expressions return 1:

DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(node_id, okay)
DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT(node_id, compat)

As usual, both a missing status and an “ok” status are treated as “okay”.

Parameters

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

Returns

1 if both of the above conditions are met, 0 otherwise

DT_NUM_INST_STATUS_OKAY(compat)

Get the number of instances of a given compatible with status “okay”.

Parameters

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

Returns

Number of instances with status “okay”

DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT(node_id, compat)

Does a devicetree node match a compatible?

Example devicetree fragment:

n: node {
        compatible = "vnd,specific-device", "generic-device";
}

Example usages which evaluate to 1:

DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT(DT_NODELABEL(n), vnd_specific_device)
DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT(DT_NODELABEL(n), generic_device)

This macro only uses the value of the compatible property. Whether or not a particular compatible has a matching binding has no effect on its value, nor does the node’s status.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

Returns

1 if the node’s compatible property contains compat, 0 otherwise.

DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT_STATUS(node_id, compat, status)

Does a devicetree node have a compatible and status?

This is equivalent to:

(DT_NODE_HAS_COMPAT(node_id, compat) &&
 DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(node_id, status))

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• compat – lowercase-and-underscores compatible, without quotes

• status – okay or disabled as a token, not a string

DT_NODE_HAS_PROP(node_id, prop)

Does a devicetree node have a property?

Tests whether a devicetree node has a property defined.

This tests whether the property is defined at all, not whether a boolean property is true or false. To get a boolean property’s truth value, use DT_PROP(node_id, prop) instead.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name

Returns

1 if the node has the property, 0 otherwise.

DT_PHA_HAS_CELL_AT_IDX(node_id, pha, idx, cell)

Does a phandle array have a named cell specifier at an index?

If this returns 1, then the phandle-array property “pha” has a cell named “cell” at index “idx”, and therefore DT_PHA_BY_IDX(node_id, pha, idx, cell) is valid. If it returns 0, it’s an error to use DT_PHA_BY_IDX() with the same arguments.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• idx – index to check within “pha”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name whose existence to check at index “idx”

Returns

1 if the named cell exists in the specifier at index idx, 0 otherwise.

DT_PHA_HAS_CELL(node_id, pha, cell)

Equivalent to DT_PHA_HAS_CELL_AT_IDX(node_id, pha, 0, cell)

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• pha – lowercase-and-underscores property with type “phandle-array”

• cell – lowercase-and-underscores cell name whose existence to check at index “idx”

Returns

1 if the named cell exists in the specifier at index 0, 0 otherwise.

Inter-node dependencies

The devicetree.h API has some support for tracking dependencies between nodes. Dependency tracking relies on a binary “depends on” relation between devicetree nodes, which is defined as the transitive closure of the following “directly depends on” relation:

• every non-root node directly depends on its parent node

• a node directly depends on any nodes its properties refer to by phandle

• a node directly depends on its interrupt-parent if it has an interrupts property

A dependency ordering of a devicetree is a list of its nodes, where each node n appears earlier in the list than any nodes that depend on n. A node’s dependency ordinal is then its zero-based index in that list. Thus, for two distinct devicetree nodes n1 and n2 with dependency ordinals d1 and d2, we have:

• d1 != d2

• if n1 depends on n2, then d1 > d2

• d1 > d2 does not necessarily imply that n1 depends on n2

The Zephyr build system chooses a dependency ordering of the final devicetree and assigns a dependency ordinal to each node. Dependency related information can be accessed using the following macros. The exact dependency ordering chosen is an implementation detail, but cyclic dependencies are detected and cause errors, so it’s safe to assume there are none when using these macros.

There are instance number-based conveniences as well; see DT_INST_DEP_ORD() and subsequent documentation.

group devicetree-dep-ord

Defines

DT_DEP_ORD(node_id)

Get a node’s dependency ordinal.

Parameters

• node_id – Node identifier

Returns

the node’s dependency ordinal as an integer literal

DT_REQUIRES_DEP_ORDS(node_id)

Get a list of dependency ordinals of a node’s direct dependencies.

There is a comma after each ordinal in the expansion, including the last one:

DT_REQUIRES_DEP_ORDS(my_node) // required_ord_1, ..., required_ord_n,

The one case DT_REQUIRES_DEP_ORDS() expands to nothing is when given the root node identifier DT_ROOT as argument. The root has no direct dependencies; every other node at least depends on its parent.

Parameters

• node_id – Node identifier

Returns

a list of dependency ordinals, with each ordinal followed by a comma (,), or an empty expansion

DT_SUPPORTS_DEP_ORDS(node_id)

Get a list of dependency ordinals of what depends directly on a node.

There is a comma after each ordinal in the expansion, including the last one:

DT_SUPPORTS_DEP_ORDS(my_node) // supported_ord_1, ..., supported_ord_n,

DT_SUPPORTS_DEP_ORDS() may expand to nothing. This happens when node_id refers to a leaf node that nothing else depends on.

Parameters

• node_id – Node identifier

Returns

a list of dependency ordinals, with each ordinal followed by a comma (,), or an empty expansion

DT_INST_DEP_ORD(inst)

Get a DT_DRV_COMPAT instance’s dependency ordinal.

Equivalent to DT_DEP_ORD(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

Parameters

• inst – instance number

Returns

The instance’s dependency ordinal

DT_INST_REQUIRES_DEP_ORDS(inst)

Get a list of dependency ordinals of a DT_DRV_COMPAT instance’s direct dependencies.

Equivalent to DT_REQUIRES_DEP_ORDS(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

Parameters

• inst – instance number

Returns

a list of dependency ordinals for the nodes the instance depends on directly

DT_INST_SUPPORTS_DEP_ORDS(inst)

Get a list of dependency ordinals of what depends directly on a DT_DRV_COMPAT instance.

Equivalent to DT_SUPPORTS_DEP_ORDS(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

Parameters

• inst – instance number

Returns

a list of node identifiers for the nodes that depend directly on the instance

Bus helpers

Zephyr’s devicetree bindings language supports a bus: key which allows bindings to declare that nodes with a given compatible describe system buses. In this case, child nodes are considered to be on a bus of the given type, and the following APIs may be used.

group devicetree-generic-bus

Defines

DT_BUS(node_id)

Node’s bus controller.

Get the node identifier of the node’s bus controller. This can be used with DT_PROP() to get properties of the bus controller.

It is an error to use this with nodes which do not have bus controllers.

Example devicetree fragment:

i2c@deadbeef {
        label = "I2C_CTLR";
        status = "okay";
        clock-frequency = < 100000 >;

        i2c_device: accelerometer@12 {
                ...
        };
};

Example usage:

DT_PROP(DT_BUS(DT_NODELABEL(i2c_device)), clock_frequency) // 100000

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

a node identifier for the node’s bus controller

DT_BUS_LABEL(node_id)

Node’s bus controller’s label property.

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

Returns

the label property of the node’s bus controller DT_BUS(node)

DT_ON_BUS(node_id, bus)

Is a node on a bus of a given type?

Example devicetree overlay:

&i2c0 {
       temp: temperature-sensor@76 {
                compatible = "vnd,some-sensor";
                reg = <0x76>;
       };
};

Example usage, assuming “i2c0” is an I2C bus controller node, and therefore “temp” is on an I2C bus:

DT_ON_BUS(DT_NODELABEL(temp), i2c) // 1
DT_ON_BUS(DT_NODELABEL(temp), spi) // 0

Parameters

• node_id – node identifier

• bus – lowercase-and-underscores bus type as a C token (i.e. without quotes)

Returns

1 if the node is on a bus of the given type, 0 otherwise

Instance-based APIs

These are recommended for use within device drivers. To use them, define DT_DRV_COMPAT to the lowercase-and-underscores compatible the device driver implements support for. Here is an example devicetree fragment:

serial@40001000 {
        compatible = "vnd,serial";
        status = "okay";
        current-speed = <115200>;
};

Example usage, assuming serial@40001000 is the only enabled node with compatible “vnd,serial”:

#define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_serial
DT_DRV_INST(0)                  // node identifier for serial@40001000
DT_INST_PROP(0, current_speed)  // 115200

Warning

Be careful making assumptions about instance numbers. See DT_INST() for the API guarantees.

As shown above, the DT_INST_* APIs are conveniences for addressing nodes by instance number. They are almost all defined in terms of one of the Generic APIs. The equivalent generic API can be found by removing INST_ from the macro name. For example, DT_INST_PROP(inst, prop) is equivalent to DT_PROP(DT_DRV_INST(inst), prop). Similarly, DT_INST_REG_ADDR(inst) is equivalent to DT_REG_ADDR(DT_DRV_INST(inst)), and so on. There are some exceptions: DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY() and DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY() are special-purpose helpers without straightforward generic equivalents.

Since DT_DRV_INST() requires DT_DRV_COMPAT to be defined, it’s an error to use any of these without that macro defined.

Note that there are also helpers available for specific hardware; these are documented in Hardware specific APIs.

Example devicetree overlay:

&i2c0 {
       temp: temperature-sensor@76 {
                compatible = "vnd,some-sensor";
                reg = <0x76>;
       };
};

Example usage, assuming “i2c0” is an I2C bus controller node, and therefore “temp” is on an I2C bus:

#define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_some_sensor

DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) // 1

Example devicetree fragment:

a {
        compatible = "vnd,device";
        status = "okay";
        label = "DEV_A";
};

b {
        compatible = "vnd,device";
        status = "okay";
        label = "DEV_B";
};

c {
        compatible = "vnd,device";
        status = "disabled";
        label = "DEV_C";
};

Example usage:

#define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_device
#define MY_FN(inst) DT_INST_LABEL(inst),

DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(MY_FN)

This expands to:

MY_FN(0) MY_FN(1)

and from there, to either this:

"DEV_A", "DEV_B",

or this:

"DEV_B", "DEV_A",

No guarantees are made about the order that a and b appear in the expansion.

Note that “fn” is responsible for adding commas, semicolons, or other separators or terminators.

Device drivers should use this macro whenever possible to instantiate a struct device for each enabled node in the devicetree of the driver’s compatible DT_DRV_COMPAT.

Parameters

• fn – Macro to call for each enabled node. Must accept an instance number as its only parameter.

Pinctrl (pin control)

These are used to access pin control properties by name or index.

Devicetree nodes may have properties which specify pin control (sometimes known as pin mux) settings. These are expressed using pinctrl-<index> properties within the node, where the <index> values are contiguous integers starting from 0. These may also be named using the pinctrl-names property.

Here is an example:

node {
    ...
    pinctrl-0 = <&foo &bar ...>;
    pinctrl-1 = <&baz ...>;
    pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
};

Above, pinctrl-0 has name "default", and pinctrl-1 has name "sleep". The pinctrl-<index> property values contain phandles. The &foo, &bar, etc. phandles within the properties point to nodes whose contents vary by platform, and which describe a pin configuration for the node.

Example devicetree fragment:

n: node {
        pinctrl-0 = <...>;
        pinctrl-1 = <...>;
        pinctrl-names = "default", "f.o.o2";

If the GPIO specifier for spi_dev’s entry in its bus node’s cs-gpios property has no flags cell, this expands to zero.

Parameters

• spi_dev – a SPI device node identifier

Returns

flags value of spi_dev’s chip select GPIO specifier, or zero if there is none

DT_INST_SPI_DEV_HAS_CS_GPIOS(inst)

Equivalent to DT_SPI_DEV_HAS_CS_GPIOS(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

See also

DT_SPI_DEV_HAS_CS_GPIOS()

Parameters

• inst – DT_DRV_COMPAT instance number

Returns

1 if the instance’s bus has a CS pin at index DT_INST_REG_ADDR(inst), 0 otherwise

DT_INST_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_CTLR(inst)

Get GPIO controller node identifier for a SPI device instance This is equivalent to DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_CTLR(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

See also

DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_CTLR()

Parameters

• inst – DT_DRV_COMPAT instance number

Returns

node identifier for instance’s chip select GPIO controller

DT_INST_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_LABEL(inst)

Get GPIO controller name for a SPI device instance This is equivalent to DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_LABEL(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_PIN()

Parameters

• inst – DT_DRV_COMPAT instance number

Returns

pin number of the instance’s chip select GPIO

DT_INST_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_FLAGS(inst)

DT_SPI_DEV_CS_GPIOS_FLAGS(DT_DRV_INST(inst)).

Returns

flags value of the instance’s chip select GPIO specifier, or zero if there is none

Chosen nodes

The special /chosen node contains properties whose values describe system-wide settings. The DT_CHOSEN() macro can be used to get a node identifier for a chosen node.

group devicetree-generic-chosen

Defines

DT_CHOSEN(prop)

Get a node identifier for a /chosen node property.

This is only valid to call if DT_HAS_CHOSEN(prop) is 1.

Parameters

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores property name for the /chosen node

Returns

a node identifier for the chosen node property

DT_HAS_CHOSEN(prop)

Test if the devicetree has a /chosen node.

Parameters

• prop – lowercase-and-underscores devicetree property

Returns

1 if the chosen property exists and refers to a node, 0 otherwise

There are also conveniences for commonly used zephyr-specific properties of the /chosen node.

group devicetree-zephyr

Defines

DT_CHOSEN_ZEPHYR_ENTROPY_LABEL

If there is a chosen node zephyr,entropy property which has a label property, that property’s value. Undefined otherwise.

DT_CHOSEN_ZEPHYR_FLASH_CONTROLLER_LABEL

If there is a chosen node zephyr,flash-controller property which has a label property, that property’s value. Undefined otherwise.

DT_CHOSEN_ZEPHYR_CAN_PRIMARY_LABEL

If there is a chosen node zephyr,can-primary property which has a label property, that property’s value. Undefined otherwise.

The following table documents some commonly used Zephyr-specific chosen nodes.

Sometimes, a chosen node’s label property will be used to set the default value of a Kconfig option which in turn configures a hardware-specific device. This is usually for backwards compatibility in cases when the Kconfig option predates devicetree support in Zephyr. In other cases, there is no Kconfig option, and the devicetree node is used directly in the source code to select a device.
