9. DisplayPort API Reference

You can use the DisplayPort IP to instantiate sources and sinks. Source instantiations require an embedded controller ( Nios® V processor or another controller) to act as the policy maker. Sink instantiations greatly benefit from and may optionally use a controller.

Altera provides software for source and sink instantiations as two system libraries for the Nios® V processor (btc_dptx_syslib and btc _dprx_syslib, respectively). The IP includes an example main program (dp_demo_src/main.c), which demonstrates basic system library use.
