Trading Fbdev for DRM: Challenges and Solutions in Linux Graphics Drivers
Offered By: Linux Foundation via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the transition from Linux frame buffer device (fbdev) to Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in this conference talk. Learn about the challenges and implications of converting fbdev drivers to DRM, including issues affecting legacy and embedded systems. Discover the steps taken to improve DRM for low-end platforms with limited resources and no 3D acceleration. Gain insights into the evolution of Linux graphics drivers, from the deprecation of fbdev to the adoption of DRM/KMS, and understand the potential benefits for contemporary embedded systems.
