[Verse 1] Source files scattered, DTS extensions gleam Text-based blueprints describing hardware dreams Memory maps and interrupt lines defined Clock frequencies and GPIO pins aligned The preprocessor awakens, macros unfold Includes and defines transform stories untold [Chorus] DTC compiler, source to binary flight DTS becomes DTB, day turns to night Flags and options, error checking tight Device tree compilation, getting it right DTC, DTS, DTB in sight Compilation process burning bright [Verse 2] Command line invocation, dtc takes the stage Input flag points to source, output sets the page Verbose mode reveals the parsing cascade Warning flags catch issues before they fade Symbol tables populate with node addresses Reference resolution, no dangling messes [Chorus] DTC compiler, source to binary flight DTS becomes DTB, day turns to night Flags and options, error checking tight Device tree compilation, getting it right DTC, DTS, DTB in sight Compilation process burning bright [Bridge] Syntax errors halt the compilation train Missing semicolons drive developers insane Property validation keeps the format clean Binary output optimized, compact and lean Boot loader consumption, kernel integration Hardware abstraction through tree translation [Verse 3] Include paths specified with capital I Output format chosen, FDT or DTB to fly Quiet mode suppresses the diagnostic stream Force flags override when things aren't pristine Assembly output possible for debugging needs Disassembly reverses when analysis feeds [Chorus] DTC compiler, source to binary flight DTS becomes DTB, day turns to night Flags and options, error checking tight Device tree compilation, getting it right DTC, DTS, DTB in sight Compilation process burning bright [Outro] From textual source to binary form complete Device tree compilation makes hardware and software meet DTC stands guardian of the compilation gate DTS to DTB, sealing hardware's fate
