VIDEO PROCESSING UNIT(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ Video Processing Unit πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, you've landed in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” this is the Video Processing Unit(9) page, and it's lowkey the main character of global video processing energy πŸ’…βœ¨

The VPU handles the global video processing, and it includes management of the clocks gates, the blocks reset lines, and the power domains. That's the whole vibe check: clocks, resets, power domains. Slay πŸ¦‹


πŸ™ˆ What is missing πŸ™ˆ

not me looking at this list like 😭 β€” here's what's missing, fr fr:

  • Full reset of entire video processing HW blocks
  • Scaling and setup of the VPU clock
  • Bus clock gates
  • Powering up video processing HW blocks
  • Powering Up HDMI controller and PHY

so yeah, bestie, those bits are not here yet. No cap. 🫢
