Device Tree Overlay
We can use DT overlays to enable or disable the peripherals without recompiling the kernel source code.

VIM1/2/3/3L/Edge1
This page takes VIM3 as an example, which can be different from yours but the structure is the same.
The dtbo files are stored in directory /boot/dtb/overlays/#BOARD#:

#BOARD# should be vim1, vim2, vim3, vim3l or edge.
The releated dtbo configuration file is /boot/env.txt.
# Device Tree Overlays # uart3 -- Enable UART3 (uart_C, GPIO Header PIN15 & PIN16) # pwm_f -- Enable PWM_F (GPIO Header PIN35) # i2c3 -- Enable i2c3 (GPIO Header PIN22 & PIN23) # spi1 -- Enable SPI1 (GPIO Header PIN15 & PIN16 & PIN35 & PIN37), pwm_f need to be removed # os08a10 -- Enable OS08A10 Camera # onewire -- Enable onewire bus (PIO Header PIN15) # disable-ts050 -- Disable TS050 LCD # m2x-eth -- Enable M2X 100M ethernet. Note: 1G ethernet will be disabled. # otg-device -- Enable USB OTG Device overlays=uart3 pwm_f i2c3 os08a10
uart3 pwm_f i2c3 os08a10 are enabled by default.
- If you want to disable
pwm_fyou can removepwm_finoverlaysnode.
- If you want to enable
onewire, you can addonewiretooverlaysnode.
VIM4
The dtbo files are stored in directory /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlays:

The releated dtbo configuration file is /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env.
VIM1S
The dtbo files are stored in directory /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim1s.dtb.overlays:
khadas@Khadas:~$ ls -al /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim1s.dtb.overlays/ total 28 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 19 09:21 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 19 09:21 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 223 Aug 12 10:59 i2cm_b.dtbo -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 223 Aug 12 10:59 i2cm_e.dtbo -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 345 Aug 12 10:59 pwm_f.dtbo -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 225 Aug 12 10:59 uart_c.dtbo

Edge2
The dtbo files are stored in directory /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlays:
khadas@Khadas:~$ ls /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlays mipi-panel.dtbo
The releated dtbo configuration file is /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlay.env.
Configuration
If you want to enable the peripherals, you can edit the dtbo configuration file and add the dtbo name to the node.
Make custom DT overlays
There are some preparations using DT overlays -dtbo files, you can also add custom DT overlays to enable or disable the peripherals.
Write DT overlay source
For example:
- example.dts
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&i2c3>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; };
Compile source to DTBO
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o example.dtbo example.dts
Copy DTBO File to DTBO Directory
- VIM1/2/3/3L/Edge1 is
/boot/dtb/overlays/BOARD - VIM4 is
/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlays - VIM1S is
/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim1s.dtb.overlays - Edge2 is
/boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlays
BOARD should be vim1, vim2, vim3, vim3l or edge.
Edit DTBO Configuration File
Add example to the node
- VIM1/2/3/3L/Edge1 is
/boot/env.txt - VIM4 is
/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env - VIM1S is
/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env - Edge2 is
/boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588s-khadas-edge2.dtb.overlay.env
Reboot
Need to reboot the board to take effect.
