[PATCH 40/67] drm/amd/display: Introduce overlay cursor mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Leo Li <sunpeng.li@xxxxxxx>

[Why]

DCN is the display hardware for amdgpu. DRM planes are backed by DCN
hardware pipes, which carry pixel data from one end (memory), to the
other (output encoder).

Each DCN pipe has the ability to blend in a cursor early on in the
pipeline. In other words, there are no dedicated cursor planes in DCN,
which makes cursor behavior somewhat unintuitive for compositors.

For example, if the cursor is in RGB format, but the top-most DRM plane
is in YUV format, DCN will not be able to blend them. Because of this,
amdgpu_dm rejects all configurations where a cursor needs to be enabled
on top of a YUV formatted plane.
