Standardizing Linux DRM Drivers - Interfacing DRM Bridge as a Single API

Explore the evolution and standardization of Linux DRM drivers in this conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the transition from encoders to DRM bridges in the Linux DRM subsystem, focusing on how this change impacts new-age display solutions like Bridges, Converters, and Switches. Learn about the introduction of DRM bridge in Linux-v4.0 and its role in creating a linear link structure for display hardware. Understand the benefits of moving DRM drivers from encoders to bridges, including the standardization of a single API and simplified implementation for new display solutions. Examine a real-world case study involving Samsung DSIM IP and consider the future of encoders in the DRM stack. This 27-minute presentation offers valuable insights for developers and enthusiasts interested in Linux graphics and display technologies.
