How To Install dt-schema on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dt-schema on Debian 12.
What is dt-schema
dt-schema is:
This package contains test code for devicetree schema validation using the json-schema vocabulary. Schema files are written in YAML (a superset of JSON), and operate on the YAML encoding of Devicetree data. Devicetree data must be transcoded from DTS to YAML before being used by this tool.
There are several tools available:
dt-doc-validate This tool takes a schema file(s) or directory of schema files and validates them against the DT meta-schema.
dt-mk-schema This tool takes user-provided schema file(s) plus the core schema files in this repo, removes everything not needed for validation, applies fix-ups to the schemas, and outputs a single file with the processed schema. This step is done separately to speed up subsequent validation of YAML Devicetrees.
dt-validate This tool takes user-provided YAML Devicetree(s) and either a schema directory or pre-processed schema file and validates the YAML Devicetree against the schema.
