Direct Rendering Manager

Detailed Description

DRM-NVDC is a compatibility library which implements the Direct Rendering Manager API (DRM) on top of the Tegra Display Controller kernel driver (NVDC).

It replaces the Mesa DRM wrapper library libdrm.so.2 on NVIDIA DRIVE™ platforms. It is a special purpose library designed to provide Tegra support for EGLOutput-DRM extensions.

The functions implemented in DRM-NVDC are binary compatible with Mesa's libdrm, with some limitations that are documented here. Unsupported functions are implemented as no-ops. Unsupported parameters of supported functions are ignored.

Like Mesa DRM, DRM-NVDC can be used to query display resources, allocate simple non-accelerated "dumb" buffer objects, set display modes, and control display overlay planes.

DRM-NVDC only supports display control, not GPU command queues. Its primary purpose is to enumerate display resources, and to perform setup for those display resources, for example, setting display modes and overlay positions.

drmVersionPtr drmGetVersion ( int  fd)

Retrieves version information for the DRM driver.

The function allocates and returns a drmVersionPtr structure that contains the DRM driver's build version information and a driver description string.

The application can provide conditional support for DRM-NVDC by confirming that the drmVersionPtr structure's name field contains the string "drm-nvdc". If name does not contain this value, the application can fall back to a kernel DRM implementation.

DRM-NVDC does not populate the drmVersionPtr structure's date, major, minor, and patchlevel fields.

Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the version information structure by calling drmFreeVersion.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
Returns
A pointer to a drmVersionPtr structure if successful, or NULL otherwise.
int drmHandleEvent ( int  fd,
drmEventContextPtr  evctx 
)

Polls for an event, specifying a callback function.

Calls a callback function if an event of a specified type has occurred.

Note
DRM-NVDC supports this function only on Linux. The evctx structure's vblank_handler field is supported.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
evctxAn event context containing callback pointers.
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 otherwise.

Function stub.

Note
This function has no effect in DRM-NVDC.
Returns
-ENOTSUP
int drmIoctl ( int  fd,
unsigned long  request,
void *  arg 
)

Issues a DRM input/output control (IOCTL).

This function is used primarily in cases where LIBDRM does not support a function that performs a desired operation. LIBDRM may lag behind kernel interfaces in features, and this function allows early access new interfaces.

Note
DRM-NVDC does not support all of the functionality of kernel DRM, so only a small set of IOCTL operations is implemented.

DRM-NVDC supports these IOCTL operations for application use:

  • DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB: Creates a dumb (CPU) buffer. Useful for debugging and for simple display tests. Accelerated rendering is not available.
  • DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB: Maps a dumb buffer for CPU access. Unlike kernel DRM, DRM-NVDC maps the dumb buffer with the mmap function and returns a valid memory pointer in the returned offset. The application must not call mmap on the returned offset.
  • DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB: Destroys a dumb buffer.
  • DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_GEM_CREATE: Creates a HW buffer.
  • DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE: Unref and if reference is 0, free HW buffer.
Parameters
[in]fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
[in]requestOne of supported DRM_IOCTL_... constants.
[in,out]argA pointer to the ioctl data structure:
  • If request is DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB, a drm_mode_create_dumb structure
  • If request is DRM_IOCTL_MODE_MAP_DUMB, a drm_mode_map_dumb structure
  • If request is DRM_IOCTL_MODE_DESTROY_DUMB, a drm_mode_destroy_dumb structure
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 otherwise.
int drmMap ( int  fd,
drm_handle_t  handle,
drmSize  size,
drmAddressPtr  address 
)

Function stub.

Note
This function has no effect in DRM-NVDC.
Returns
-ENOTSUP
int drmModeAddFB ( int  fd,
uint32_t  width,
uint32_t  height,
uint8_t  depth,
uint8_t  bpp,
uint32_t  pitch,
uint32_t  bo_handle,
uint32_t *  buf_id 
)

Creates a framebuffer.

The function creates a framebuffer with a specified size and format, using the specified buffer object as the memory backing store. The buffer object can be a "dumb buffer" created by a call to drmIoctl with the request parameter set to DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB, or it can be a dma-buf imported by a call to the drmPrimeFDToHandle function.

Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must remove (free) the framebuffer by calling drmModeRmFB.
Parameters
[in]fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
[in]widthFramebuffer width in pixels.
[in]heightFramebuffer height in pixels.
[in]depthFramebuffer depth in bits.
[in]bppFramebuffer bits per pixel.
[in]pitchFramebuffer pitch in bytes.
[in]bo_handleA handle for a buffer object to provide memory backing.
[out]buf_idReceives the framebuffer ID of the created framebuffer if framebuffer creation is successful.
Returns
0 if framebuffer creation is successful, or -1 otherwise.
int drmModeAddFB2 ( int  fd,
uint32_t  width,
uint32_t  height,
uint32_t  pixel_format,
const uint32_t  bo_handles[4],
const uint32_t  pitches[4],
const uint32_t  offsets[4],
uint32_t *  buf_id,
uint32_t  flags 
)

Creates a framebuffer, specifying format and planes.

This function is similar to :drmModeAddFB, but offers more options. The buffer objects' pixel format is specified explicitly, instead of being depth+bpp as in drmModeAddFB. Also, multiplanar YUV formats are supported. As for drmModeAddFB, the buffer object handle(s) can be a dumb buffers or imported dma-bufs.

Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must remove (free) the framebuffer by calling drmModeRmFB.
Note
The flags parameter is not currently supported.
Parameters
[in]fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
[in]widthFramebuffer width in pixels.
[in]heightFramebuffer height in pixels.
[in]pixel_formatPixel format of the bo_handle(s).
[in]bo_handlesAn array of four handles for buffer objects to provide memory backing. Unused array elements must be NULL.
[in]pitchesAn array containing the pitches of the buffer objects in bytes.
[in]offsetsAn array containing the offsets of the buffer objects in bytes.
[out]buf_idReceives the framebuffer ID of the created framebuffer if framebuffer creation is successful.
[in]flagsCreation flags.
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 otherwise.

uint32_t *  id 
)

Creates a property blob.

Stores an opaque blob of memory and returns an ID for it. The ID can then be used for atomic mode setting.

Note
In DRM-NVDC, data must be a drmModeModeInfoPtr. When a property blob is created from a drmModeModeInfoPtr, the returned ID becomes a valid value to set on CRTC properties matching the name MODE_ID. Atomically committing a MODE_ID property to the ID of the created blob causes a mode set on that CRTC. The new CRTC mode will be that of the drmModeModeInfoPtr used as input to drmModeCreatePropertyBlob.
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must destroy (free) the property blob by calling drmModeDestroyPropertyBlob.
Parameters
[in]fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
[in]dataContent of the property blob. What data is acceptable depends on the implementation. In DRM-NVDC, data must be a drmModeModeInfoPtr structure.
[in]sizeSize of data.
[out]idReturns a property ID for the blob.
Return values
0if operation is successful.
-1if data is not a valid pointer, or if size or id is invalid.
-ENOMEMif blob memory could not be allocated.

drmModeConnectorPtr drmModeGetConnector ( int  fd,
uint32_t  connector_id 
)

Gets information for a connector.

If connector_id is valid, fetches a drmModeConnectorPtr structure which contains information about a connector, such as available modes, connection status, connector type, and which encoder (if any) is attached.

Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the connector information structure by calling drmModeFreeConnector.
Note
connector->mmWidth and connector->mmHeight are currently set to placeholder values.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
connector_idThe connector ID of the connector to be retrieved.

If the specified CRTC ID is valid, fetches a drmModeCrtcPtr structure which contains information about the CRTC, such as the current framebuffer, mode, position, size, and number of gamma LUT elements.

Postcondition
If a call is successful, the application must call drmModeFreeCrtc to free the structure it returns.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
crtc_idThe CRTC ID of the CRTC to retrieved.
Returns
A drmModeCrtcPtr structure if successful, or NULL if the CRTC is not found or the API is out of memory.
drmModeEncoderPtr drmModeGetEncoder ( int  fd,
uint32_t  encoder_id 
)

Gets information for an encoder.

Fetches a drmModeEncoderPtr structure which contains information about a specified encoder, such as the current CRTC and compatible CRTCs.

Note
Encoders in DRM-NVDC are connected to a single CRTC at startup, and are not reconfigurable. There is only one bit set in possible_crtcs, and none in possible_clones (i.e. the value of possible_clones is 0).
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must call drmModeFreeEncoder to free the allocated structure.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
encoder_idEncoder ID of the encoder to be retrieved.
Returns
A drmModeEncoderPtr structure if successful, or NULL if the encoder is not found or the API is out of memory.
drmModePlanePtr drmModeGetPlane ( int  fd,
uint32_t  plane_id 
)

Gets information about a plane.

If plane_id is valid, fetches a drmModePlanePtr structure which contains information about the specified plane, such as its current CRTC and compatible CRTCs, the currently bound framebuffer, the number of gamma steps, and the position of the plane.

Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the plane information structure by calling drmModeFreePlane.
Note
In DRM-NVDC planes are connected to a single CRTC at startup, and are not reconfigurable. The drmModePlanePtr structure's possible_crtc member always has exactly one bit set.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
plane_idPlane ID of the plane to be retrieved.
Returns
A drmModePlanePtr structure if successful, or NULL if the plane is not found or the API out of memory.
drmModePlaneResPtr drmModeGetPlaneResources ( int  fd)

Gets information about planes.

Gets a list of plane resources for a DRM device. A DRM application typically calls this function early to identify the available display layers.

By default, the information returned includes only "Overlay" type (regular) planes – not "Primary" and "Cursor" planes. If DRM_CLIENT_CAP_UNIVERSAL_PLANES has been enabled with drmSetClientCap, the information returned includes "Primary" planes representing CTRCs, and "Cursor" planes representing Cursors. This allows CRTCs and Cursors to be manipulated with plane functions such as drmModeSetPlane.

Note
DRM-NVDC currently does not implement "Cursor" type planes.
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the plane information structure by calling drmModeFreePlaneResources.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
Returns
A drmModeResPtr structure if successful, or NULL otherwise.
drmModePropertyPtr drmModeGetProperty ( int  fd,
uint32_t  propertyId 
)

Gets a property structure that describes a property of a DRM object.

The DRM object can be a plane, a CRTC, or a connector.

This function operates on a drmModeObjectPropertiesPtr structure returned by drmModeObjectGetProperties().

The modifiable properties depend on the DRM object type:

  • For a plane (object type DRM_MODE_OBJECT_PLANE):
    "SRC_X", "SRC_Y", "SRC_W", "SRC_H", "zpos", "alpha" "CRTC_X",
    "CRTC_Y", "CRTC_W", "CRTC_H", "CRTC_ID", "FB_ID"
    
  • For a CRTC (object type DRM_MODE_OBJECT_CRTC), supported values are:
    "MODE_ID", "ACTIVE", "HDR_SUPPORTED", "HDR_METADATA_SMPTE_2086_ID"
    
  • For a connector (object type DRM_MODE_OBJECT_CONNECTOR), the supported value is:
    "CRTC_ID"
    

For DRM planes, the enums field holds a list of key-word pairs (name : value) that defines the properties.

drmModePropertyPtr->enums[ ].name
drmModePropertyPtr->enums[ ].value
  • Supported values for the name field are defined above (i.e., "SRC_X", "SRC_Y", or "SRC_W"). This field is modifiable.
  • Supported values for the value fields are:
    "Primary", "Overlay", "Cursor"
    This field is read-only.

To identify the plane type, iterate through the following list to locate the enum whose value field matches the one you seek. Then, get the value from corresponding name field.

drmModePropertyPtr->enums[ ]

For example:

for (j = 0; j < props->count_enums; j++) {
printf("\t\t%lld = %s\n", props->enums[j].value, props->enums[j].name);
if (props->enums[j].value == value)
name = props->enums[j].name;
}
if (props->count_enums && name) {
/* The specified plane property value appears in the DRM properties. */
/* Print the property name, which will be "Primary", "Overlay", or "Cursor". */
printf("\tcon_value : %s\n", name);
} else {
/* The specified plane property value does not appear in the DRM properties. */
/* Print the property value for which we were looking. */
printf("\tcon_value : %" PRIu64 "\n", value);
}
Note
The zpos value for a plane is initialized with an offset of 10 relative to the next plane. This is to allow for flexible configuration of heads. For example:
  • "Primary" type Plane zpos = 10
  • First "Overlay" Plane zpos = 20
  • Next "Overlay" Plane zpos = 30
  • Etc.
The allowed range for zpos is [0, 255]. Planes with numerically greater values for zpos occlude planes with numerically lesser values.
The alpha value for a plane causes a plane-wide transparency to be applied as well as the per-pixel alpha contained in the buffer object. The allowed range for alpha is [0, 255], where 0 is fully transparent and 255 indicates that only per-pixel alpha has an effect. For non-alpha pixel formats, there is no per-pixel alpha, so 255 indicates fully opaque.
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the property information structure by calling drmModeFreeProperty.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
propertyIdProperty ID of the property object to be fetched.
Returns
A drmModePropertyPtr if successful, or NULL otherwise.
drmModePropertyBlobPtr drmModeGetPropertyBlob ( int  fd,
uint32_t  blob_id 
)

Allocates and retrieves a userspace property blob pointer.

Note
This function has no effect in DRM-NVDC.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
blob_idID of the property blob to be retrived.
Returns
Pointer to the corresponding property blob if successful, or NULL otherwise.
drmModeResPtr drmModeGetResources ( int  fd)

Gets information about a DRM device's CRTCs, encoders, and connectors.

Gets a list of a DRM device's major resources. A DRM application typically calls this function early to identify available displays and other resources. The function does not report plane resources, though. These can be queried with drmModeGetPlaneResources.

Note
The drmModeResPtr structure's min_width, min_height, max_width, and max_height members are set to placeholder values.
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the resource information structure by calling drmModeFreeResources.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
Returns
A drmModeResPtr structure if successful, or NULL otherwise.
int drmModeMoveCursor ( int  fd,
uint32_t  crtc_id,
int  x,
int  y 
)

Moves a cursor.

Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
crtc_idCRTC ID of the CRTC whose cursor is to be moved.
xPosition of the cursor from left.
yPosition of the cursor from top.
Returns
0 if successful.
-EINVAL if crtc_id is invalid.
-errno otherwise.
drmModeObjectPropertiesPtr drmModeObjectGetProperties ( int  fd,
uint32_t  object_id,
uint32_t  object_type 
)

Gets all properties of a DRM object.

Gets an object properties structure that describes all of the atomically modifiable properties of a specified DRM object, as well as read-only properties not included in the corresponding drmModeCrtcPtr, drmModeConnectorPtr, and drmModePlanePtr structures. You can then retrieve individual properties with drmModeGetProperty and change their values with drmModeAtomicAddProperty.

The drmModeObjectPropertiesPtr structure contains an array of property IDs (props), an array of corresponding property values (prop_values), and the number of elements in each array (count_props). You can get the name of a property by calling drmModeGetProperty on the property ID and looking at the returned drmModePropertyPtr structure's name field.

To modify a property atomically, create a drmModeAtomicReqPtr request object by calling drmModeAtomicAlloc, then call drmModeAtomicAddProperty, specifying the drmModeAtomicReqPtr object, the object ID of the object to modify, the property ID of the property to modify, and the property's new value. Then commit the request with drmModeAtomicCommit. You can set several properties in an atomic request and commit them in a single operation.

Note
Not all object types are supported.
Postcondition
If the call is successful, the application must free the drmModeObjectPropertiesPtr structure by calling drmModeFreeObjectProperties.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
object_idThe object ID of the DRM object whose properties are to be retrieved.
object_typeA symbol representing an object type. The following object types are supported:
  • DRM_MODE_OBJECT_CRTC
  • DRM_MODE_OBJECT_CONNECTOR
  • DRM_MODE_OBJECT_PLANE
Returns
A drmModeObjectPropertiesPtr object if successful, or NULL otherwise.
int drmModeObjectSetProperty ( int  fd,

uint32_t  object_type,
uint32_t  property_id,
uint64_t  value 
)

Set the current value of an object's property.

Parameters
[in]fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
object_idThe object ID of the DRM object whose properties are to be set.
object_typeA symbol representing an object type. The following object types are supported:
  • DRM_MODE_OBJECT_CRTC
property_idThe ID of the property to be set.
valueA new value for the property.
Returns
0 if successful, or -1 otherwise.
int drmModePageFlip ( int  fd,
uint32_t  crtc_id,
uint32_t  fb_id,
uint32_t  flags,
void *  user_data 
)

Requests a page flip (framebuffer change) on the specified CRTC.

Schedules a page flip on the specified CRTC. By default, the CRTC will be reprogrammed to display the specified framebuffer after the next vertical refresh.

Note
drmModePageFlip does not wait for rendering to complete, nor is future rendering blocked until the flip completes. This differs from KMS based implementations that utilize implicit synchronization. When using EGLOutput together with DRM-NVDC, synchronization is handled internally.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
crtc_idCRTC ID of the CRTC whose framebuffer is to be changed.
fb_idFramebuffer ID of the framebuffer to be displayed.
flagsFlags affecting the operation. Supported values are:
  • DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC: Flip immediately, not at vblank.
  • DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT: Send page flip event.
user_dataData used by the page flip handler if vblank event was requested.
Return values
0if successful.
-EINVALif crtc_id or fb_id is invalid.
-errnootherwise.
int drmModeRmFB ( int  fd,
uint32_t  fb_id 
)

Destroys a framebuffer.

Destroys (frees) a framebuffer allocated by drmModeAddFB or drmModeAddFB2.

Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
fb_idThe ID of the framebuffer to destroy.
Returns
0 if destruction is successful, or -ENOENT if the framebuffer is not found.
int drmModeSetCrtc ( int  fd,
uint32_t  crtc_id,
uint32_t  fb_id,
uint32_t  x,
uint32_t  y,
uint32_t *  connectors,
int  count,
drmModeModeInfoPtr  drm_mode 
)

Sets a CRTC configuration.

If the DRM mode is specified (if drm_mode is not NULL), sets the display mode on the CRTC and specified connector(s). New fb_id, x, and y properties will set at vblank.

Note
The fb_id, x, and y parameters accept the special input value -1, which indicates that the hardware window framebuffer or the corresponding offset is not to be changed. (Kernel based DRM drivers accept -1 only for fb_id. They return error code -ERANGE if given -1 for x or y.)
It is permitted to specify a valid mode and fb_id==-1, even if no framebuffer is currently attached to the CRTC. The function will set the display mode but will leave the CRTC framebuffer undefined.
Framebuffers set on a CRTC, whether by drmModeSetCrtc, drmModePageFlip, or any other means, are displayed behind planes. The CRTC display layer is the lowest in stacking order.
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
crtc_idThe ID of the CRTC to be set.
fb_idID of the framebuffer to display with this CRTC, or -1 to use the same CRTC as the previous operation.
xOffset from left of active display region to place the framebuffer. If x is -1, the X offset is not changed.
yOffset from top of active display region to place the framebuffer. If y is -1, the Y offset is not changed.
connectorsA pointer to a list of connectors to bind to the CRTC.
countNumber of connectors in the connectors list.
drm_modeMode to set, or NULL to use the same mode as the previous operation.
Return values
0if successful.
-EINVALif crtc_id is invalid.
-1if count is invalid, or the list specified by connectors is incompatible with the CRTC.
-errnootherwise.

uint32_t  bo_handle,
uint32_t  width,
uint32_t  height 
)

Sets a cursor image.

Note
Supported cursor image sizes: 32 x 32 64 x 64 128 x 128 256 x 256
Passing 0 as the bo_handle will disable the cursor
Parameters
fdThe file descriptor of an open DRM device.
crtc_idCRTC ID of the CRTC whose cursor is to be changed.
bo_handleHandle of a buffer object to use as cursor image.
widthWidth of the cursor image.
