2.5 Display Interfaces

The processor supports single eDP* interface and 3 DDI interfaces (depends on

segment):

• DDI interface can be configured as DisplayPort* or HDMI*.

• Each DDI can support dual mode (DP++).

• Each DDI can support DVI (DVI max resolution is 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz).

• The DisplayPort* can be configured to use 1, 2, or 4 lanes depending on the

bandwidth requirements and link data rate.

• DDI ports notated as: DDI B, C, D.

• S-Processor Line processors supports eDP and up to 3 DDI supporting DP/HDMI.

• AUX/DDC signals are valid for each DDI Port. (three for S-Processor Lines)

• Total Five dedicated HPD (Hot plug detect signals) are valid for all processor SKUs.

Note: SSC is supported in eDP*/DP for all Processor Lines.

Note: The processor platform supports DP Type-C implementation with additional discrete

components.

The technologies supported by the processor are listed in the following table.

Table 2-17. VGA and Embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) Bifurcation Summary

Port S-Processor Line

eDP - DDIA

(eDP lower x2 lanes, [1:0])

Yes

VGA - DDIE

(DP upper x2 lanes, [3:2])

Yes

Notes:

1. Requires a DP to VGA converter.

2. DP-to-VGA converter on the processor ports is supported using external dongle only, display driver

software for VGA dongles which configures the VGA port as a DP branch device.

Table 2-18. Embedded DisplayPort (eDP*)/DDI Ports Availability

Ports Port Name in VBT S-Processor Line

2,3

DDI0 - eDP Port A Yes

DDI1 Port B Yes

DDI2 Port C Yes

DDI3 Port D Yes

DDI4 - eDP/VGA Port E Yes

Notes:

1. Port E is bifurcated from eDP, when VGA is used need to use available AUX (if HDMI is in used).

a. For example, DT can use eDP_AUX for VGA converter which is available as free Design but HPD

should be used as DDPE_HPD3.

2. 3xDDC (DDPB, DDPC, DDPD) are valid for all the processor SKUs .

3. 5xHPD (PCH) inputs (eDP_HPD, DDPB_HPD0, DDPC_HPD1, DDPD_HPD2, DDPE_HPD3) are valid for all

processor SKUs.

4. N/A

5. VBT provides a configuration option to select the four AUX channels A/B/C/D for a given port, based on

how the aux channel lines are connected physically on the board.
