Let's talk about developing AMD display drivers in the DRM subsystem as an external contributor. Part of this work is a trail of breadcrumbs to build documentation. What are those breadcrumbs? How do they help to review, fix, improve and enable features of AMD drivers? How would both sides benefit if those pieces of information were already documented? We are gathering information from anywhere and also bothering experts for input. Ultimately, this presentation focuses on AMD driver development but may fit DRM drivers of any GPU vendors.

- 23. I’m not an AMD expert, but… Melissa Wen, XDC 2022 More transparency ● Merging changes to DC (the shared/OS-agnostic part) ○ Change limitations in some part of the code ○ Workarounds to attend DRM/KMS framework ○ DC implementations with no Linux support yet ○ Public CI (?) ● Upstream to DRM new features implementation ● More documentation is always welcome
