Arch Linux User Repository

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/.

please read this massage till the end. note: i only care about getting obs-amf working on my machine and i'm not a developer.

man this driver must be synced with certain firmware component but i can't figure it out,any way you have to find that part and make sure to merge it into this package,

when i first installed this firmware i got this error: Error: ./sources/drivers/enc_core/cmn/vcn3commandpacker.cpp(96):system VCN FW Encode interface version=1.29, expected version=1.27

so i blived that the driver is bleeding edge and rolled back to the tag you mentioned below v22.10.15... and the i got this error:

Error: ./sources/drivers/enc_core/cmn/vcn3commandpacker.cpp(96):system VCN FW Encode interface version=1.29, expected version=1.26

so i realized the newer driver is the one in the linux firmware so i went to the archlinux-amdgpu-pro git repo and found out theres newer versions of this driver (5.7.1) , i followed the instructions and built that certain version and installed it. even though i still got the error:

Error: ./sources/drivers/enc_core/cmn/vcn3commandpacker.cpp(96):system VCN FW Encode interface version=1.29, expected version=1.28

at least i'm more closer :) but still the linux firmware is more up to date and you must find the certain parts of the linux-firmware that requires certain version of the software and make sure you put those files on with the package, i know that the package manager can't replace existing packages but i figured one way around it is by downloading the original linux-firmware package modifying it then reinstalling it(don't forget to regenerate kernel) , i hope you can solve this issue , any solution of controling versions independently won't last for too long until it breaks so its really important to consider downloading the firmware version thats already installed and modify it and maybe you can uninstall the original and rename the package you modify so the linux-firmware won't be updated without an update for this package.

if your amf is not working i advice in usage of https://github.com/Ashark/archlinux-amdgpu-pro/releases/tag/v22.40_1577631-1 this tag that is the one before the 23.20 release, working in trying to make the others work correct

about versions,

5.6 and 5.6.1 was skiped by amd itself

5.7 and 5.7.1(even its not listed you can find) is already released, but that versions seems to need a specific linux-firmware version that i cannot found easily

linux-firmware-20230804.7be2766d-2

gives

0123-09-20 01:18:45 B1304740 [EncodeCore] Error: ./sources/drivers/enc_core/cmn/vcn3commandpacker.cpp(96):system VCN FW Encode interface version=1.27, expected version=1.28

and

linux-firmware-git 20230814.0e048b06-1

gives 1.29 instead 1.28

till i found a solution for this, or it solves itself i'll not upgrade, but i'll create a branch in the git with the makepkg updated to this version if anyone wanna try

@rokero i cant reproduce the same error, can you give more info, in the git is the best place to open a issue for this

progl glxinfo /usr/bin/progl: línea 30: 24808 Violación de segmento (`core' generado) "$@" I have this error every time I try to start

@mesmer I can confirm everything's working except the av1 encoder. linux-firmware-git is not required. The problem of the av1 encoder is that the system freezes as soon as I start recording, and it happens on both wlroots(Hyprland) and kwin. Last version has this problem too.

In 7/6/2023 a version 23.10-1610704.22.04 is out, any 7000 series that can test i think this version? it fixed the need for linux-firmware-git (at least for me)

also: version 5.6 is being worked https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/5.6/ but i cannot add that here yet because the package file is empty for now https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/5.6/ubuntu/dists/jammy/proprietary/binary-amd64/Packages but keep int ouch i think next week a minor will be released

new version released, seems that it needs the linux-firmware-git for now, but tested only in 6900 card

and fixed openssl dependency
