40Specifying Devicetrees and U-Boot Configurations
41==================================================
42All of the supported machines select default uboot configurations and devicetrees. These
43selections can be overridden in the local.conf or by defining your own machine in your
44own layer.
45
46An example of the is the DE0-Nano-SoC board, which is a supported configuration in the Cyclone5
47machine definition.
48
49 UBOOT_CONFIG = "de0-nano-soc"
50 UBOOT_EXTLINUX_FDT_default = "../socfpga_cyclone5_de0_nano_soc.dtb"
51
52The above overrides the uboot configuration, "de0-nano-soc" is a target in u-boot, and configures
53distroboot to indicate the de0-nano-soc devicetree. Please keep in mind that not all targets are
54using distroboot in u-boot and may require u-boot environment changes.
