1.2 Properties

In the DT, each node has properties consisting of a name and a value that describe its characteristics. Property names are strings of 1 to 31 characters using digits, letters, specific symbols and non-standard names.

Property values can be arrays of bytes, including types like empty (for true-false information), 32-bit and 64-bit integers in big-endian format, strings, property-encoded arrays, phandles (for referencing other nodes) and string lists.

Example:

compatible="microchip,sam9x60";
