Could you share a simple block-diagram of the hardware ? It would help turning my random advices into semi-random advices :-) -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
