Hello.
Does there exists some documentation about device type template?

I have started to study LAVA recently. I have read some parts of documentation already but I can't find any documentation about device type template syntax and semantics. So I'm reading present "jinja" files but I don't know what I can change or add.
From the last link above:
[Adding new device types] is the most complex part and it can be a lot of work (sometimes several months) to integrate a completely new device into LAVA. V2 offers a different and wider range of support to V1 but some devices will need new support to be written within lava-dispatcher. It is not always possible to automate a new device, depending on how the device connects to LAVA, how the device is powered and whether the software on the device allows the device to be controlled remotely.
So what you can change or add depends on what you are trying to do but you should first add known devices and understand how those work before considering support for your own devices.
