The DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem was first intended to abstract complex GPUs and provide a simple way for user space applications to use GPU capabilities without directly accessing the hardware block.
The KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) API then appeared to simplify and standardize display configuration from user space.
But what about Display Controllers that do not support hardware rendering (3D or 2D) ?

Through this talk, we would like to share our experience in developing and contributing upstream a Display Controller driver for a simple hardware block which does not support GPU rendering: Atmel's HLCDC (HLCD Controller) available on some at91 SoCs.

This talk will describe the DRM/KMS architecture, its components, and how one should integrate his driver in this subsystem.
