DocBook for hardware documentation

[Maneesh Soni <msoni@ti.com>]

Hello,

I would like to know if DocBook will be good for hardware documentation. 
While there are specified constructs in DocBook for software API 
documentation, there's does not seem to be much to support hardware 
specifics. For example, it is unclear how, in DocBook, one could 
document (and tag) the details of the memory map of an embedded 
processor in a chip or memory mapped registers.

Could someone on this list please let me know if DocBook has been used 
for hardware documentation and how effective a solution is it for the 
purpose?

Regards,

Maneesh
