it depends on how you want to do that, in userspace or lower level. I suggest you read about Linux frame buffer and its api. for low level approach, check" low level devel" channel on YouTube he has some interesting stuff there. look for : "Raspberry pi bare metal tutorial part 14 (hdmi video)"

Bahha🐧 I'm working with a raspberry pi 4 with a linux distribution installed and I want to modify the data which send to a monitor throught the HDMI port. That data can be modified, rewritten, edited in some way? And how can I do that?
