Hi All,
I released the
Alpha5 today. I compiled the AMDGPU driver as kernel module. I successfully tested it with SliTaz PPC Linux. With the following command I was able to start X11:
Code: Select all
Xfbdev -retro -mouse mouse,device=/dev/input/mice -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/event2 | xterm -e amiwm
Sometimes it works with
event1 or with
event0 etc.
If you want to connect your SliTaz via SSH then use the username
amigaone with the password
amigaone.
New:
Linux Git log
FYI:
Many PowerPC Changes Line Up For Linux 4.5 -- phoronix.com

SliTaz PPC Linux with the Alpha5 of kernel 4.5:
Cheers,
Christian

A list of code for the r9 270x;
radeon/pitcairn_ce.bin
radeon/pitcairn_mc.bin
radeon/pitcairn_me.bin
radeon/pitcairn_pfp.bin
radeon/pitcairn_rlc.bin
radeon/pitcairn_smc.bin
radeon/TAHITI_uvd.bin
I wonder if building both this code and the amdgpu code into the kernel could be problematic.

I powered down and tried again.
CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:install/powerpc64/initrd.gz
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.5
No black screen this time, but this and apparently a system freeze (waiting 10 minutes now)

ddni,
Many thanks for testing. I am building the
Alpha6 without AMDGPU firmwares and AMDGPU support.
Cheers,
Christian

Alpha6 gives me the same error.
I retried with a DSub output too. Same black screen.

Try it without the ramdisk.
IF you installed it to /dev/sdb1 - Then try setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb1" - or where your root (/) directory is.
Once you get it to boot then you can install the modules (as root). You may wish to try the 4.1 kernel if you keep having boot problems.
Even the 3.19rc6 should work and it does have the code for your graphics card.
Got questions....Please ask.
Linux is like getting old,,,,,,,,,It ain't for sissy's.

do you mean to just get to cfe and enter:
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.5
All i have done is burn the iso to a cd which is in atapi.0.1 and extract the kernel archive to a usbstick which is in one of the front usb ports.
Do the commands
CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:install/powerpc64/initrd.gz
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"
Persist after hard reboot?
I don't understand what you mean by /dev/sdb1. I havent installed anyting anywhere yet.
