[U-Boot] Device Tree for U-Boot

[Amartya Shreyank]

Hi,

I'm new to Device Tree. I have u-boot running on a imx6solo custom board.
I would like to use device tree instead of way I'm have it currently configured.
Where should I start to get an understanding of device tree?
I know that I would need to create a dts file for my board and I have gone over some examples.
But, where can I get some documentation on the various properties listed under each node to make some sense as to their meaning.

Best regards,

there no specific documentation require see this
doc/README.fdt-control and take an existing board which uses FDT on
imx6 example: board/engicam and we should always take Linux dts files
for reference as well as for porting.

thanks!
