dtc - Device Tree Compiler
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/dtc [options] <input file>
DESCRIPTION
Device Tree Compiler, dtc, takes as input a device-tree in a given format and outputs a device-tree in another format for booting kernels
on embedded systems. Typically, the input format is "dts", a human readable source format, and creates a "dtb", or binary format as out-
put.

asm - assembler source
-V <output version>
Blob version to produce. The default is 17 (only relevant for dtb and asm output).
-d <output dependency file>
-R <number>
Make space for <number> reserve map entries (only relevant for dtb and asm output).
-S <bytes>

-b <number>
Set the physical boot CPU.
