IF PROBLEM HAPPEN

this package is our try to put amdgpu in ARCH, but this could break or have problems as amd update and change their packages for ubuntu

if anything happens you can always download a older tag in https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases and get the PKGBUILD there, and use makepkg with that build while we update or try to fix :)

ALWAYS USE LINUX-FIRMWARE-GIT IF LATEST DRIVER FAIL BEFORE ISSUE SOME ERROR

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-firmware-git

PKGBUILD generator is located here: https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro

AMDGPU PRO wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU_PRO

New versions will appear here: https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/.

It's written right on the AMD site. I only copied the text https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-navi-linux

And choosing vega or older brings you right to 19.20.

@lod I think you are not correct. At least I still can see legacy (orca) opencl implementation there, which means it supports gcn4- gpus.

This Radeon™ Software for Linux® release is only compatible with the Radeon RX 5700 Series of cards – no other products are supported.

There is no need to flag this out of date yet.

@takov751 thanks for notification. I will mark the package base as outdated for now.

there is a new version with rx 5700 support https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro-19.30-838629-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz

@vario makepkg -si will install all packages provided by this Package Base. Also, those errors of unresolved dependencies should be gone since you are using -s option for makepkg. Try to install needed opencl package first and see if it helps for your task.

I'm very confused. The git clone URL is the same for all the components and that is what I used for "makepkg -si". How do I install only the bits I want?

@vario If you need only OpenCL part, then why are you trying to install lib32-amdgpu-pro-libgl? Btw, could you test if Davinci resolve works for you? I ask because I do not have iGPU AMD hardware. For testing you need to install amdgpu-pro-libgl and also an opencl implementation (I guess opencl-amdgpu-pro-orca for your iGPU).

I'm getting some errors when trying to install. I am running GNOME & Wayland on a Ryzen5 2400G with opencl-mesa installed for GPU computing with boinc. Some boinc stuff is crashing the PC so I thought I'd try with this opencl as well.

I only want the OpenCL libraries from AMD and to carry on with AMDGPU from the kernel (I don't have a PRO graphics card) - is this possible ?

Good news. I got it working already. But I still need to realize if I could safely omit remaining open components and to map dependencies properly.
