Would this work on the Raven Ridge APUs? What can be expected of 4K and 4K HDR material?

link in first post

this AMD GPU should works in theory ...

Thank you very much for your build, I am really excited to get this working, but having an issue installing. Getting this across my screen on install. I have downloaded multiple times and used a few usb sticks.

I also tried to install another version of LE and dumped the file in the update folder, but when I restarted I got the same line across the Libreelec startup screen, then the system reboots. I am using a ryzen 2400G on an asus b350m-e. Any ideas? I currently have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 installed. I am also going through a Denon X2300w to a Vizio P65-C1

Otter · May 28, 2018 at 3:21 AM

Should this build also support the more recent Radeon cards like the RX 560?

**piotrasd** · May 28, 2018 at 7:55 AM

gwilly7 try maybe first RUN from stick - do not use installer, then we will be see if at least booting and starting kodi

or what is read

Make sure you do not have nomodeset or vga= as a kernel parameter, since amdgpu requires KMS.

source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/amdgpu#enable_early_kms

so from syslinux.cfg remove - vga=current and try again

Otter that card this is Polaris - so should works

KarstenL680 · May 28, 2018 at 11:31 AM

OK, NOT Working with Ryzen 5 25400G on B350 Mainboard and also not working with AMDA12-9800E on the same mainboard.

System is going into reboot.

**piotrasd** · May 28, 2018 at 2:23 PM

KarstenL680 please check pci-ids from GPU - if its "15DD" should work - command lspci on ubuntu or libreleec - if SSH work.

also dmesg will helpful - maybe some modules/drivers are missing from mainboard. I don't have this CPU/mainboard- so I need logs for try get this working

also we can try add to syslinux this:

amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1

gwilly7 · May 28, 2018 at 8:00 PM

here is a link to my ubuntu dmesg log if it helps you

Dropbox - dmesg.log

Also from ubuntu i can get the failed log off the usb stick if that helps too

Dropbox - log-2018-05-28-19.14.29-FAILED.zip

**piotrasd** · May 28, 2018 at 8:48 PM

you need over ssh do it this on my LE build

Code

wget http://lrusak.libreelec.tv/public/modetest
systemctl stop kodi
./modetest | pastebinit

gwilly7 · May 28, 2018 at 9:59 PM

I was never able to go through the setup process to enable SSH. Also when I boot it hangs here for about 10 seconds and reboots

**piotrasd** · May 28, 2018 at 10:18 PM

Update: I read a lot of people have same problem with Debian or ubuntu

Quote

There is a fix for my Debian error actually. If you have a fuzzed up image like me, where your image appears as if it had scan lines to the point that it is unrecognizable...
Firstly I reccomend you install Debian testing. And don't install it the usual reccomended way by first installing stable and then switching to testing sources, Install it by directly downloading the testing installer. That is my reccomendation.

Now if you have an Asrock motherboard or similar go to your BIOS/UEFI settings -> Boot settings and change CSM(compatibility support module) to disabled. Save and reboot.
Now the usual debian installer will boot and you will directly install Debian testing. Don't forget to apt update and apt upgrade and apt dist-upgrade(just in case), so you get the 4.16 kernel.

Now the 4.16 kernel is even more unstable with Vega 8 than the 4.17 kernel was on my Manjaro install, but the 4.17 kernel will land in the Testing repo in about a month. And hey, you now have Debian.

if you find time please test

1. Try this one with Bios Settings also they advised to update bios to latest

(go to your BIOS/UEFI settings -> Boot settings and change CSM(compatibility support module) to disabled. Save and reboot.)

2. try this build below - I updated llvm, mesa, and replaces firmware for Raven APU

I have the same problem. Sorry for what is probably a simple question: how do I apply a tar file to a system that will not boot?
