]VGA compatible controller [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Baffin [Radeon RX 550]
Subsystem: [Baffin [Radeon RX 550]
Kernel modules: amdgpu
Question: How do I get the firmware for I guess, my linux kernel (I tried the mkinit pci etc command that says all of the required firmware is missing)
" You can git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git and copy the missing files to /lib/firmware/amdgpu
source: here
Woah, just pulled down over 610 MB!! Is there a way to filter that git clone to search only for amdgpu in the future? I think that would be more ideal. I pasted the entire amdgpu folder into /lib/firmware/ and rebooted – grub or plymouth printing still shows something about firmware not loading.
So, I just did another initramfs or whatever it’s called, and had to delete my modprobe file which includede modules=(amdgpu, radeon) and cleared that. I still get the following errors: But I haven’t rebooted a second time to see if they prevent module from loading. Just updating you as quick as possible in the chances you already know the answer and I need to do other commands / install something else:
sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.x-amd64
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/sienna_cichlid_mes.bin for module amdgpu
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/navi10_mes.bin for module amdgpu
After I posted that code, I rebooted, just to be clear.
UPDATE! It works! Guess that other stuff is irrelevant.
What GPU do you have? It might not matter if you don’t have a 6900XT or a navi 10 card?
I think I get those missing firmware issues as well, although they are for new cards than what I have. I do sometimes get weird artifacts on my screen. YMMV.
I can finally take down my resolution now (I won’t tell you how low, it’s … I like it very low) 1080p was just unusable! Thanks, now I can use this system for 50% of what I wanted to do so. Or more like … 75%. Network stuff, and following open-source GPU apis and other related software developments. This is so much more interesting than closed-source directx. It’s fun, we all get to read about it, look at the performance changes, I could go on and on.
My next thread will be hardware specific host AP on my wireless. That’s the other 25%, and I bet it won’t be easy.
