Hardware assisted format change mechanism in a display controller

摘要

The system has a register update list (446) containing an instruction. A register direct memory access controller (442) coupled to a node obtains the instruction from the register update list in response to a trigger signal for configuring a display line from a group of possible display lines. A group of interfaces of the controller communicates the trigger signal to the controller. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a display controller for processing data (b) a method for initializing a display pipeline using a display controller.
