Bug ID: 102497 Summary: Fatal error during GPU init when using an aarch64 board Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: bero@lindev.ch
Putting a Radeon graphics card into the PCI slot of an Aarch64 board (the particular one I tried is the Solidrun MACCHIATObin) results in:

I've tried 3 different radeon cards:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV530LE [Radeon X1600/X1650 PRO]
All behave the exact same.
I presume the problem is caused by the (lack of) BIOS on aarch64 boards not initializing the GPU the same way an x86 box does.
This is on kernel 4.4.52 (latest kernel supported by the board; could try pulling DRI patches from newer kernels if there's any hope of changes being there already), libdrm 2.4.82

No, the driver is able to init the card regardless of whether the vbios has been posted or not.

Here's the problem:
[Wed Jul 12 14:01:10 2017] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=512M, BAR=0M
There is no PCI BAR for frame buffer access. I'm guessing your pcie bridge does not have a large enough aperture for the frame buffer BAR. It's generally 256MB.
The driver can't work without access to vram.
Please attach your full dmesg output.

--- Comment #2 from Mikulas Patocka mikulas@twibright.com --- U-BOOT initializes the PCIe controller with 16MB window - it's too small for GPUs. You have to compile the EDK EFI firmware. You don't have to flash it, you can copy flash-image.bin to sdcard starting at sector 4096 and use the switches on the board to select boot from sdcard.
I've got GPU working this way, but opengl doesn't work because of glitches when writing to the framebuffer.
