u-boot runtime modify Linux device tree(dtb)

In some cases, i.MX board connect to different module. It has very tiny changes, such as just one gpio different driver strength.

We can build an entire new software to handle this requirement.

Here we introduce another way, using u-boot to modify the device tree(dtb) at runtime.

 

Here is u-boot fdt command for
