devicetree

devicetree is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beriberikix/zephyr-agent-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for describing and changing hardware in Zephyr RTOS with Devicetree. Devicetree is a set of files that records a board's components, connections, pins, and enabled peripherals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write hardware nodes and bindings, create application overlays, map pins and peripherals, and enable, disable, delete, or redefine hardware components.
Why use it?
It lets you change board hardware settings without rewriting drivers or application logic, and makes the final hardware configuration easier to inspect.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

devicetree scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/overlay_include_check.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Zephyr Devicetree

The Devicetree (DT) is the source of truth for your hardware topology in Zephyr.

Core Workflows

1. Understanding Syntax & Nodes

Nodes, properties, and phandles form the hierarchy.

  • Reference: dt_syntax.md
  • Key Tools: Labels (&label), Properties (reg, status, compatible).

2. Working with Bindings

Mapping hardware descriptions to driver schemas.

  • Reference: dt_bindings.md
  • Key Tools: YAML bindings, compatible strings, pinctrl.

3. Application Overlays & HWMv2

Modifying board behavior for specific application needs.

  • Reference: dt_overlays.md
  • Key Tools: .overlay files, zephyr,chosen, variant-specific overlays.

4. Advanced Hardware Modification

Deleting and redefining nodes/properties for product variants.

  • Reference: dt_overlays.md
  • Key Tools: /delete-node/, /delete-property/.

Quick Start (Overlay)

/* app.overlay */
&i2c1 {
  status = "okay";
};

&uart0 {
  status = "disabled";
};

Tooling & Validation

  • west build -t rom_report: See how devicetree definitions impact memory.
  • build/zephyr/zephyr.dts: Inspect the FINAL resolved devicetree after all overlays are applied.
  • build/zephyr/include/generated/zephyr/devicetree_generated.h: Inspect generated DT macros consumed by C code.

Automation Tools

Examples & Templates

Validation Checklist

  • Overlay compiles with no DTS syntax errors during west build.
  • Expected node status/properties are present in build/zephyr/zephyr.dts.
  • Expected DT macros exist in build/zephyr/include/generated/zephyr/devicetree_generated.h.
  • Application runs with peripherals enabled/disabled exactly as described by the overlay.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

devicetree is a skill published in the GitHub repository beriberikix/zephyr-agent-skills (63 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 699 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
