Question: Can both RX and TX be used on the same GT quad for DisplayPort?

Answer: Yes. The Video PHY Controller supports the capability of performing both RX and TX on the GT quads. However, they cannot be different protocols.

Answer: No. The Video PHY Controller must use the same protocol if both RX and TX are used.

Question: I am facing issues with link training. What are some things that can be done to improve link training?

Question: Does the AMD subsystem support my resolution and frame rate?

Answer: Perform the following:
  1. DisplayPort should operate at any resolution and frame rate as long as the DisplayPort link is not oversubscribed. Use the following equation to determine if the custom resolution can be supported:

    (HTotal × VTotal × bits_per_component × frame rate) < (0.8 × link_lane × num_lanes)

Answer: DisplayPort should operate at any resolution and frame rate as long as the DisplayPort link is not oversubscribed. Use the following equation to determine if the custom resolution can be supported:

(HTotal × VTotal × bits_per_component × frame rate) < (0.8 × link_rate × num_lanes)

Question: Can I get more information on EDID?

Answer: The EDID block is outside of the DisplayPort controller and is connected using the I2C interface. It is your responsibility to add the proper EDID content. If you select a different clock source for the EDID block, ensure that the I2C bus has the proper false path constraints.
