AFBC is a flexible, proprietary, lossless compression protocol and format, with a number of defined DRM format modifiers. To facilitate consistency and compatibility between different AFBC producers and consumers, document the expectations for usage of the AFBC DRM format modifiers in a new .rst chapter.

See DRM_FORMAT_MOD_ARM_AFBC(*). + +All users of the AFBC modifiers must follow the usage guidelines laid +out in this document, to ensure compatibility across different AFBC +producers and consumers. + +Components and Ordering +======================= + +AFBC streams can contain several components - where a component +corresponds to a color channel (i.e. R, G, B, X, A, Y, Cb, Cr). +The assignment of input/output color channels must be consistent +between the encoder and the decoder for correct operation, otherwise +the consumer will interpret the decoded data incorrectly. + +Furthermore, when the lossless colorspace transform is used +(AFBC_FORMAT_MOD_YTR, which should be enabled for RGB buffers for +maximum compression efficiency), the component order must be: + + * Component 0: R + * Component 1: G + * Component 2: B + +The component ordering is communicated via the fourcc code in the +fourcc:modifier pair. In general, component '0' is considered to +reside in the least-significant bits of the corresponding linear +format. For example, COMP(bits): + + * DRM_FORMAT_ABGR8888 + + * Component 0: R(8) + * Component 1: G(8) + * Component 2: B(8) + * Component 3: A(8) + + * DRM_FORMAT_BGR888 + + * Component 0: R(8) + * Component 1: G(8) + * Component 2: B(8) + + * DRM_FORMAT_YUYV + + * Component 0: Y(8) + * Component 1: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled) + * Component 2: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled) + +In AFBC, 'X' components are not treated any differently from any other +component. Therefore, an AFBC buffer with fourcc DRM_FORMAT_XBGR8888 +encodes with 4 components, like so: + + * DRM_FORMAT_XBGR8888 + + * Component 0: R(8) + * Component 1: G(8) + * Component 2: B(8) + * Component 3: X(8) + +Please note, however, that the inclusion of a "wasted" 'X' channel is +bad for compression efficiency, and so it's recommended to avoid +formats containing 'X' bits. If a fourth component is +required/expected by the encoder/decoder, then it is recommended to +instead use an equivalent format with alpha, setting all alpha bits to +'1'. If there is no requirement for a fourth component, then a format +which doesn't include alpha can be used, e.g. DRM_FORMAT_BGR888. + +Number of Planes +================ + +Formats which are typically multi-planar in linear layouts (e.g. YUV +420), can be encoded into one, or multiple, AFBC planes. As with +component order, the encoder and decoder must agree about the number +of planes in order to correctly decode the buffer. The fourcc code is +used to determine the number of encoded planes in an AFBC buffer, +matching the number of planes for the linear (unmodified) format. +Within each plane, the component ordering also follows the fourcc +code: + +For example: + + * DRM_FORMAT_YUYV: nplanes = 1 + + * Plane 0: + + * Component 0: Y(8) + * Component 1: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled) + * Component 2: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled) + + * DRM_FORMAT_NV12: nplanes = 2 + + * Plane 0: + + * Component 0: Y(8) + + * Plane 1: + + * Component 0: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled) + * Component 1: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled) + +Cross-device interoperability +============================= + +For maximum compatibility across devices, the table below defines +canonical formats for use between AFBC-enabled devices.
