Re: [PATCH 1/1] command: oftree: support load device tree from memory

[Pascal Vizeli <pascal.vizeli@syshack.ch>]

That sounds good. Thanks for the direction.

My workaround look like:
memcpy -d /tmp/rpi.dtb 0xf42400 0 0x10000
of_dump -f /tmp/rpi.dtb > /dev/null
oftree -f -l /tmp/rpi.dtb

Without 'of_dump', the 'oftree' give a bad magic 0x5.... error.

I need add support for HassOS to raspberry and in a second round I
will try to implement your suggestion.

best regards
Pascal
