Would it be possible to have the amdgpu kernel module included in Linux-EOS-Arm ?
I’m still stuck on a rc version as the Linux-eos-arm does not have the amdgpu kernel module.
The device is a D2000 (Phytium), it has full uefi+acpi, using systemd-boot
I think I already told you my opinion on this on IRC matrix bridge.
You need to build the kernel with the amdgpu options enable using the pkgbuild.
The main purpose of linux-eos-arm is to support pinebook-pro. I’m not sure how adding amd-gpu module will effect the performance of pinebook-pro.
I haven’t done testing or know enough about this issue.
I’ll let other devs including @Pudge chime in about this too see how to go about it.
The PineBookPro would not be affected as long as the amdgpu module is a module and not built in, other than some additional storage space, maybe a linux-eos-generic-arm ?
I put the kernel with amd gpu module in https://sar.sradjoker.cc . Can you download, install and check if its working?

I probably didn’t add the module correctly or the mkinitcpio hook is wrong.
I’m not sure on how to add the module to the kernel. (I’m still learning about the various kernel stuff)
If you are able to modify the PKGBUILD and config in https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/PKGBUILDS/tree/main/linux-eos-arm
to get it work and send in a Pull request, I can consider shipping those changes in the kernel.
Seems like the following lines would be needed for the config file;
CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_USERPTR=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMD_ACP=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC_HDCP=y
CONFIG_HSA_AMD=y
CONFIG_SND_SOC_AMD_ACP=m
CONFIG_SND_AMD_ACP_CONFIG=y
As for that one, I’ll get back to you if I ever figure it out, this may take some years…
You wouldn’t happen to have a how-to on setting up a repo for eos ?
You mean a local repo right?
Try using:
Thanks, appreciated. Will try out the Manjaro kernel instead.
We’re using the same kernel so I don’t think it would help
But is the config the same ?
Yes, I keep updating it to stay the same.
Oh, ok, I guess I will have to switch to Fedora then. Thanks
I may have found a working config for aur/linux-manjaro-xanmod
I forgot to enable multithread builds so it’s still building…
Seems like the config file is too large to include…
Put it on a pastebin and share the link
Edit:
Also can you post the output of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?
Do you have amdgpu in MODULES=()?
Edit2:
Never mind adding amdgpu to the mkinitcpio.conf is making it fail.
So the module isn’t added properly
I’m building again with a modified config. Lets see how it goes.
I’m just adding these 4 lines
# AMD GPU
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_USERPTR=y
Turns out it needs to set other options too.
You can grab the kernel from here in 2 hrs https://saro.sradjoker.cc
