-The releated dtbo configuration file is ''/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env'' +
- +
-``` +
-khadas@Khadas:~$ ls /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env  +

-``` +
- +
-===== Configuration ===== +
- +
-If you want to enable some functions, you can edit the dtbo configuration file ''/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env'' and add the dtbo name to node ''fdt_overlays''. +
- +
-For example, if you want to enable ''I2CM_F'', you can edit ''/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env'' and add ''i2cm_a'' to node ''fdt_overlays''. +
- +
-``` +
-khadas@Khadas:~$ cat /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env  +
-fdt_overlays=i2cm_a +
-``` +
- +
-Save the file and reboot the system to take effect. +
- +
-===== Make Your Own DTBO Files ===== +
- +
-There are some ready to use dtbo files, you can also add your own dtbos to enable or disable the peripherals. +
- +
- +
-  * Write your own device tree overlay file, for example ''example.dts'': ``` +
-/dts-v1/; +
-/plugin/; +
- +
-/ { +
-    fragment@0 { +
-        target = <&i2c5>; +
- +
-        __overlay__ { +
-            status = "okay"; +
-        }; +
-    }; +
-}; +
-```  +
- +
-This device tree overlay is to enable ''i2c3''. +
- +
-  * Compile it to dtbo ``` +
-khadas@Khadas:~$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o example.dtbo example.dts +
-khadas@Khadas:~$ ls example.dtbo +
-example.dtbo +
-``` +
- +
-  * Copy the dtbo file to ''/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlays/'' +
- +
-  * Edit ''/boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env'' to add in node ''fdt_overlays'' and save the file. +
- +
-  * Reboot the board+
