+== Compiling the Device Tree
+If you need to change the device-tree you can easily compile it on a Linux system using the dtc app from the device-tree-compiler package:
+{{{#!bash
+apt-get install device-tree-compiler
+dtc -O dtb -o imx6dl-gw51xx.dtb imqx6dl-gw51xx.dts
+}}}
+You can also de-compile a dtb back to a dts:
+{{{#!bash
+$ dtc -I dtb -O dts imx6dl-gw51xx.dtb
