METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A DISPLAY STREAM EMBEDDED WITH NON-DISPLAY DATA
First Claim
1. A method of operating a video device comprising:
- obtaining a stream of debug data in response to a test operation;
framing the stream of debug data independent of establishing a video blanking period; and
transmitting the framed stream of debug data across one or more data lanes of a video link.

Abstract
A video device having data lanes and a method of operating the video device includes obtaining a stream of debug data in response to a test operation, framing the stream of debug data independent of establishing a video blanking period, and transmitting the framed stream of debug data across one or more data lanes of the video link for operation between a video source device and a video sink device. The method also includes generating a stream of video data related to the test operation, framing the stream of video data to establish a video blanking period, and transmitting the framed stream of debug data concurrently with the framed stream of video data across the one or more data lanes of the video link.

8. A method of operating a video device comprising:
-
receiving a framed stream of debug data across one or more data lanes of a video link for operation between a video source device and a video sink device, the stream of debug data being framed independent of a video blanking period; decoding the framed stream of debug data independent of the framing; and supplying the decoded stream of debug data to a debug sink device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
