What is Device Tree?

A Device Tree is a data structure used to describe hardware components in a system. It's commonly used in embedded systems, particularly with ARM-based architectures, to provide a flexible and platform-independent way to configure the kernel and other software for specific hardware configurations. It essentially replaces hard-coded configurations with a data-driven approach, making it easier to support different hardware variants from a single kernel image. The device tree is usually passed to the kernel at boot time.
