✨ dce_v10_0_hpd_sense(9) ✨

hii bestie 💖 okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is dce_v10_0_hpd_sense — the little callback that tells you whether a monitor is plugged in. she's lowkey doing the most important job in the whole display stack and nobody claps for her, so let's clap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dce_v10_0_hpd_sense — the hpd sense callback. that's it, that's the whole name section, she said "hotplug detect" and left ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool dce_v10_0_hpd_sense (struct amdgpu_device *adev , enum
amdgpu_hpd_id hpd );

returns a bool, takes two args, iconic signature, no notes 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer, aka the whole GPU situation, bestie. she's the context.
  • hpd — the hpd (hotplug detect) pin. which pin are we snooping on? this one. 📍

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? she checks if a digital monitor is connected — and this is for evergreen+, so newer-ish hardware, iykyk.

the vibe check results are:

  • returns true if a monitor is connected 🎉
  • returns false if it's not connected 😭

that's literally it. no side quests, no surprises. she senses. she reports. she leaves. main character energy fr fr 👑

and now the extended friend group — literally the whole dce_v10_0 family plus a couple of cik cousins, all in one group chat 💜:

like, she's not alone in this world and we love a supportive ecosystem 🌸✨

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one came from the lovely folks over at ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, stamped October 2026 — so go forth, sense those hotplugs, and slay 💅💖🎀
