+==================
+
+1) convert-dtsv0 -- Conversion to Version 1
+
+convert-dtsv0 is a small utility program which converts (DTS)
+Device Tree Source from the obsolete version 0 to version 1.
+
+Version 1 DTS files are marked by line "/dts-v1/;" at the top of the file.
+
+The syntax of the convert-dtsv0 command line is:
+
+ convert-dtsv0 [<input_filename ... >]
+
+Each file passed will be converted to the new /dts-v1/ version by creating
+a new file with a "v1" appended the filename.
+
+Comments, empty lines, etc. are preserved.
+
+
+2) ftdump -- Flat Tree dumping utility
+
+The ftdump program prints a readable version of a flat device tree file.
+
+The syntax of the ftdump command line is:
+
+ ftdump <DTB-file-name>
