Hi,

Your problem might be related to the same issue reported here: No OpenCL support for: Ubuntu 16.04.2, RX550 (only this single graphics card), AMD driver 17.10, (64...

If so, it looks like a driver side issue. I've already reported the same (including your problem too) to the concerned team. Once I get any update, I'll share with you.

Hi,

As I've been updated, it seems that OpenCL is working fine on Rx 550 with the latest internal build. Will update more once get the final confirmation. Btw, did you check with latest AMDGPU Pro 17.30?

As of AMDGPU-PRO 17.30-465504, the RX 550's OpenCL implementation is still broken.

Building/installing the drivers gives no errors: other than OpenCL the card seems to work fine.

dmesg shows no issues other than a set of powerplay "Can't find requested voltage id" messages.

clinfo (using the one installed into /opt by the drivers) shows 0 platforms. Using earlier driver versions (16.x) shows the AMD CL platform but 0 devices.

lspci looks fine, the card shows up.

This is true on both Ubuntu 16.04.2 (4.4.x kernel) and 16.04.3 (4.10 HWE kernel). I can try testing in Ubuntu 17, but I believe the issue is isolated to the drivers.

Since I initially messaged this info directly to dipak, I've also been able to obtain an RX580: in the same system, with the same drivers (and the RX550 still connected) it works fine. So the issue is definitely isolated to the RX550's OpenCL implementation in the drivers.

clinfo with the RX580 installed correctly reports the RX580, but does not see the RX550 (only shows 1 device, the RX580).

Hi Kaitlyn,

Thanks for the above update. I've already passed these information to the appropriate team.

Hi,

As I've been informed, OpenCL is not supported on Lexa cards (e.g. RX 550) with the latest AMDGPU PRO. Already concerned team is in process to update the release note accordingly.

P.S. Though OpenCL is not supported, RX 550 is compatible with the base driver, hence there is no issue with the installation.

Ubuntu x86 64-Bit

I've installed the latest 17.40 compute optimized drivers and the RX550 is still not working for anything that requires OpenCL. This really feels like getting cheated for months when the features and OS support are both prominently listed, and it's difficult to understand why this wasn't fixed in the latest driver release, since it's very clearly a bug as they work fine for OpenCL in Windows. The fact that the drivers install without any visible errors isn't really relevant when the card doesn't work as promised because the drivers are effectively broken in an essential way.
