Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The .name field must be the same as the device's name you give when you register the device in the board specific file".

A block of code is set as follows:

#include <linux/of.h> 
#include <linux/of_device.h> 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)  

New terms and important words are shown in bold.
