+Display Core Debug tools
+========================
+
+DC Visual Confirmation
+======================
+
+Display core provides a feature named visual confirmation, which is a set of
+bars added at the scanout time by the driver to convey some specific
+information. In general, you can enable this debug option by using::
+
+ echo <N> > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
+
+Where `N` is an integer number for some specific scenarios that the developer
+wants to enable, you will see some of these debug cases in the following
+subsection.
+
+Multiple Planes Debug
+---------------------
+
+If you want to enable or debug multiple planes in a specific user-space
+application, you can leverage a debug feature named visual confirm. For
+enabling it, you will need::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
+
+You need to reload your GUI to see the visual confirmation. When the plane
+configuration changes or a full update occurs there will be a colored bar at
+the bottom of each hardware plane being drawn on the screen.
+
+* The color indicates the format - For example, red is AR24 and green is NV12
+* The height of the bar indicates the index of the plane
+* Pipe split can be observed if there are two bars with a difference in height
+ covering the same plane
+
+Consider the video playback case in which a video is played in a specific
+plane, and the desktop is drawn in another plane. The video plane should
+feature one or two green bars at the bottom of the video depending on pipe
+split configuration.
+
+* There should **not** be any visual corruption
+* There should **not** be any underflow or screen flashes
+* There should **not** be any black screens
+* There should **not** be any cursor corruption
+* Multiple plane **may** be briefly disabled during window transitions or
+ resizing but should come back after the action has finished
+
+Pipe Split Debug
+----------------
+
+Sometimes we need to debug if DCN is splitting pipes correctly, and visual
+confirmation is also handy for this case. Similar to the MPO case, you can use
+the below command to enable visual confirmation::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_visual_confirm
+
+In this case, if you have a pipe split, you will see one small red bar at the
+bottom of the display covering the entire display width and another bar
+covering the second pipe. In other words, you will see a bit high bar in the
+second pipe.
+
+DTN Debug
+=========
+
+DC (DCN) provides an extensive log that dumps multiple details from our
+hardware configuration. Via debugfs, you can capture those status values by
+using Display Test Next (DTN) log, which can be captured via debugfs by using::
+
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_dtn_log
+
+Since this log is updated accordingly with DCN status, you can also follow the
+change in real-time by using something like::
+
+ sudo watch -d cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_dtn_log
+
+When reporting a bug related to DC, consider attaching this log before and
+after you reproduce the bug.
