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/.

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.

@ashark May I suggest Natron. It is available in the AUR and requires OpenGL 2.0 or higher. You can see the system requirements below the download links https://natrongithub.github.io/#download

19.20 is out.

I have heard that some CAD applications require GL extensions, but I do not know which exactly. I also thought that it may be a windows application running with wine.

@ashark you want to test? May be some windows over wine game?

@adelpozoman I see, thank you. But what about OpenGL? At gentoo wiki it was mentioned about UCSF chimera, but looks that is is not true anymore. And the only such software I know for now is Davinci Resolve.

@ashark Blender requires propietary OpenCl
