2024-10-24Documentation/gpu/amdgpu: Add programming model for DCNRodrigo Siqueira
One of the challenges to contributing to the display code is the complexity of the DC component. This commit adds a documentation page that discusses the programming model used by DCN and an overview of how the display code is organized.

2022-09-01Documentation/gpu: Add an explanation about the DCN pipelineRodrigo Siqueira
In the DCN code, we constantly talk about hardware pipeline, pipeline, or even just pipes, which is a concept that is not obvious to everyone. For this reason, this commit expands the DCN overview explanation by adding a new section that describes what a pipeline is from the DCN perspective. Changes since V1: - Rewrite the first paragraph that describes AMD hardware pipeline.
