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/.

# pacman -Q | grep linux-firmware-git
linux-firmware-git 20240412.5da74b16-1

this one is empty. shall I set it to defsult to something?

# echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES

and

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json vulkaninfo

amf-test doesnt like missing vulcan

# ./amf-test 
ERROR: Failed to initialize Vulkan

@combor try with local/linux-firmware-git 20240412.5da74b16-1 its the one i am using

also can you show me your echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES

try to use VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd32.json vulkaninfo

also nowrep creates this https://github.com/nowrep/amf-test-linux to test the amf

I've tried firmware mentioned in the wiki and in the comments here. Anything that I'm missing?

@mesmer CBR/CBQ modes work fine with AMF 23.40_1741713-1/6.0.3 but (H)QVBR modes do not. This seems to be an issue with the AMF drivers itself and their usage of Vulkan and OpenCL. I opened an issue here and hopes it gets resolved: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/issues/468

@LanMarc77 the AV1 its new, and from drive to drive the AMD breaks it haha, my suggestion is if you find a version that works for you, keep it and if you update just revert, its a pain but its break in the amd itself from time to time

I recently switched to the relatively new Ryzen 5 8600G with integrated Radeon graphics. I tried to use the GPU as encoder with this package and ffmpeg starts encoding when using the av1_amf encoder but always stops with an error after 30239 frames. I tested multiple video files and the barrier is 30239 frames. The error is:

0124-02-29 12:17:58 78042F00 [EncodeQueuePalImpl]   Error: ../../../../../runtime/src/components/EncoderCore/EncodeQueuePalImpl.cpp(239):PAL failed, result = -4 : Pal::ICmdBuffer::Begin() failed
0124-02-29 12:17:58 78042F00 [AMFEncoderCoreAv1]   Error: ../../../../../runtime/src/components/EncoderCore/EncoderCoreAv1Impl.cpp(2422):AMF_ERROR 1 : AMF_FAIL: SubmitToEncodeQueue(): Failed to submit job.
0124-02-29 12:17:58 78042F00 [AMFEncoderCoreAv1]   Error: ../../../../../runtime/src/components/EncoderCore/EncoderCoreAv1Impl.cpp(2002):AMF_ERROR 1 : AMF_FAIL: Failed to submit job to Encode queue

The partly encoded file is correctly encoded though. Is this a known issue?

UPDATE: Just updated to the version from yesterday and the error is gone. I also contacted AMD about this recently. Might be they fixed it.

just to clarify, someone tagged as out of date because of a hidden 6.0.3 version here https://repo.radeon.com/.hidden/cfa27af7066b8ebd5c73d75110183a62/amdgpu/6.0.3/

but its not in the main repo http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/

so ill NOT update to this version as its not released or even planned as it seems the page of amd itself dont use this version yet, so ill not update and this

if anyone want to use this version fell free to change the files, but i`ll not be able to help for anything

@OzzyHelix thats right, you need a specific firmware to work with the pro driver, in the wiki we write that in the end of page

I noticed AMF doesn't seem to work without linux-firmware-git I figured that was just something weird with my setup

@aakodadi, are you using linux-firmware git?

linux-firmware-git 20240208.fbef4d38-1

with this version it seems to work, i tested here
