Multiple Planes Debug
|
||||||
|
---------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to enable or debug multiple planes in a specific user-space
|
||||||
|
application, you can leverage a debug feature named visual confirm. For
|
||||||
|
enabling it, you will need::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need to reload your GUI to see the visual confirmation. When the plane
|
||||||
|
configuration changes or a full update occurs there will be a colored bar at
|
||||||
|
the bottom of each hardware plane being drawn on the screen.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The color indicates the format - For example, red is AR24 and green is NV12
|
||||||
|
* The height of the bar indicates the index of the plane
|
||||||
|
* Pipe split can be observed if there are two bars with a difference in height
|
||||||
|
covering the same plane
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consider the video playback case in which a video is played in a specific
|
||||||
|
plane, and the desktop is drawn in another plane. The video plane should
|
||||||
|
feature one or two green bars at the bottom of the video depending on pipe
|
||||||
|
split configuration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* There should **not** be any visual corruption
|
||||||
|
* There should **not** be any underflow or screen flashes
|
||||||
|
* There should **not** be any black screens
|
||||||
|
* There should **not** be any cursor corruption
|
||||||
|
* Multiple plane **may** be briefly disabled during window transitions or
|
||||||
|
resizing but should come back after the action has finished
