- Device Tree (DT) is a data structure that describes hardware configurations and is used as a standard interface between bootloaders and operating systems on ARM devices. - DT avoids hardcoding platform details and makes it easier to support multiple device types with a single kernel image. - Key components of DT include the device tree source (DTS) file, device tree compiler (DTC), and device tree blob (DTB) binary file. DT provides a unified way to describe hardware across ARM platforms in Linux.
