+ Using Overlays
+ ==============
+
+-Overlays are loaded using the "dtoverlay" directive. As an example, consider
+-the popular lirc-rpi module, the Linux Infrared Remote Control driver. In the
+-pre-DT world this would be loaded from /etc/modules, with an explicit
+-"modprobe lirc-rpi" command, or programmatically by lircd. With DT enabled,
+-this becomes a line in config.txt:
+-
+- dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
+-
+-This causes the file /boot/overlays/lirc-rpi.dtbo to be loaded. By
+-default it will use GPIOs 17 (out) and 18 (in), but this can be modified using
+-DT parameters:
+-
+- dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_out_pin=17,gpio_in_pin=13
+-
+-Parameters always have default values, although in some cases (e.g. "w1-gpio")
+-it is necessary to provided multiple overlays in order to get the desired
+-behaviour. See the list of overlays below for a description of the parameters
++Overlays are loaded using the "dtoverlay" config.txt setting. As an example,
++consider I2C Real Time Clock drivers. In the pre-DT world these would be loaded
++by writing a magic string comprising a device identifier and an I2C address to
++a special file in /sys/class/i2c-adapter, having first loaded the driver for
++the I2C interface and the RTC device - something like this:
++
++ modprobe i2c-bcm2835
++ modprobe rtc-ds1307
++ echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device
++
++With DT enabled, this becomes a line in config.txt:
++
++ dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307
++
++This causes the file /boot/overlays/i2c-rtc.dtbo to be loaded and a "node"
++describing the DS1307 I2C device to be added to the Device Tree for the Pi. By
++default it usees address 0x68, but this can be modified with an additional DT
++parameter:
++
++ dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307,addr=0x68
++
++Parameters usually have default values, although certain parameters are
++mandatory. See the list of overlays below for a description of the parameters
+ and their defaults.
