# Device tree `platform_device.c` together with its kernel and QEMU forks contains a minimal runnable example. Good format descriptions: - Minimal example /dts-v1/; / { a; }; Check correctness with: dtc a.dts Separate nodes are simply merged by node path, e.g.: /dts-v1/; / { a; }; / { b; }; then `dtc a.dts` gives: /dts-v1/; / { a; b; };
