FARADAY TV ENCODER TVE200 DRM DRIVER(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Faraday TV Encoder TVE200 DRM Driver — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first thing, the Faraday TV Encoder TVE200 is also known as the Gemini TV Interface Controller (TVC) — same icon, different name, iykyk 💅

and where does it live? she's found in the Gemini Chipset from Storlink Semiconductor (which later became Storm Semiconductor, and later later became Cortina Systems — glow-up after glow-up, honestly 👑). but not just there — she also shows up in the Grain Media GM8180 chipset. versatile queen 🌈

on the Gemini, the module is connected to 8 data lines and a single clock line, comprising an 8-bit BT.656 interface. the way that's such a clean little setup 🎀

this is a very basic YUV display driver, no cap. the datasheet specifies that it supports the ITU BT.656 standard 🫶

it requires a 27 MHz clock — which is literally the hallmark of any TV encoder supporting both PAL and NTSC ⭐

and finally, this driver exposes a standard KMS interface for this TV encoder. iconic behaviour, periodt 💅
