Bug ID: 109127 Summary: E9260 not working with recent software/firmware Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: blocker Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: john.alexander@datapath.co.uk

Using recent AMDGPU source code and recent firmware files for the E9260 GPU (Polaris11, deviceID:67E8h) the GPU fails to initialise correctly. Debugging shows that the RLC times out entering safe mode, further debugging shows this is because the SMU has uploaded garbage firmware.

I've had a pcie interposer/bus analyser inline with this GPU and can see that the issue is that GTT addresses are not being translated. When the SMU request to load firmware is sent the PCIe read operations contain the GPU MC addresses, not the system page addresses as they have been programmed within the gart table. If we shunt the firmware bo and the SMUs firmware header allocations into VRAM rather than the GTT the firmware is correctly uploaded; the net result is that GFX ring tests then fail with similar results; The GPU can then be observed attempting to read from the GFX ring but the addresses used across the PCIe bus are the MC ring addresses, not the system page addresses.
