[Verse 1] When silicon meets software's demanding call Device trees bridge the chasm between them all Compatible strings declare what chip you are Like fingerprints that travel near and far The kernel reads your hardware signature To load the driver that will make you purr [Chorus] Compatible, reg, interrupts, status too Four pillars holding hardware rendezvous Memory maps and signals crystal clear Device tree speaks what kernels need to hear C-R-I-S, the essential quartet Hardware secrets that you won't forget [Verse 2] Register property paints addresses bright Base location plus the size that feels just right Hexadecimal ranges stake their claim Physical memory gets its proper name The reg entry tells where silicon lives What boundaries each component gives [Chorus] Compatible, reg, interrupts, status too Four pillars holding hardware rendezvous Memory maps and signals crystal clear Device tree speaks what kernels need to hear C-R-I-S, the essential quartet Hardware secrets that you won't forget [Bridge] Interrupt numbers wire the urgent pleas When hardware screams the kernel guarantees A timely response through IRQ lines Status property sets the warning signs Disabled, okay, or maybe fail Each device broadcasts its current tale [Verse 3] Bootloaders pass this structured revelation Hardware topology's complete translation No more guessing what peripherals hide Device tree blobs become the kernel's guide From ARM to RISC-V architectures wide Properties illuminate what's inside [Chorus] Compatible, reg, interrupts, status too Four pillars holding hardware rendezvous Memory maps and signals crystal clear Device tree speaks what kernels need to hear C-R-I-S, the essential quartet Hardware secrets that you won't forget [Outro] When firmware whispers hardware's deepest truth Device tree properties provide the proof
