Thanks Christian, that'd be perfect! Is it feasible? Per Alex comment, we'd need to run atombios commands to reprogram the timings, display info, etc...like a small driver would do, a full init. Also, what kind of PCIe reset is recommended for this adapter? Like a hot reset, powering-off/re-power, FLR or that MODE2 reset present in amdgpu code? Remembering this is an APU device. Thanks a lot!
