For baytrail we have many of these CRC sources enabled already, see vlv_pipe_crc_ctl_reg in i915_debugfs.c. So for a quick test I'd add the new targets and just see what happens. Iirc on Byt display pipe = audio port. Big core platforms (broadwell would be the next) have special CRC registers for the ports/audio stuff. Currently we only have CRC support up to Haswell, and only for the display pipe (not yet for ports or audio channels). You should find information about them in the internal Bspec. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
