Drivers & Software

[powerload]

Hardware: Vega 56

OS: CentOS 7 with the CentOS kernel (couldn't get the kernel driver to build with the mainline 4.9.x LT kernel).

I cannot seem to get OpenCL support on the Vega to be recognized at all. Here is a trimmed down terminal transcript of what I did.

If I remove the amdgpu-pro opencl libraries, there is no libOpenCL.so so nothing finds it (I removed the Nvidia one earlier):

[root@grumpy ~]# clinfo

clinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So which is the correct libOpenCL to use, and what package does it come from? The only one that ships with the driver packages results in nothing but segfaults.

At this point I'm reasonably sure this has nothing to do with interference from Nvidia drivers and libraries.

Note: I deleted the amdgpu kernel driver that ships with the kernel so that it wouldn't clash with the one built using DKMS from the driver bundle.

[powerload]

Just tried it on a completely different machine, with no Nvidia cards or drivers on it, and the results are the same.

distro clinfo reports 0 platforms.

amdgpu-pro clinfo crashes out.

How on earth can there be such a shortage of AMD GPUs when the software stack just doesn't work?

[ben-and-ellen]

I'm using RX 580 and a GTX 1070 on Ubuntu and trying to get opencl to work. I'm also trying to understand why I get a "AMD ADL library not found." message. Maybe something in here will help...

After messing about for a few weeks with different drivers I did a fresh install today:

Ubuntu 16.04.03

$ uname -r

4.4.0-116-generic kernel

Then updated with

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

I've got a RX 580. To install I installed Ubuntu without graphics card using the onboard Intel chip. Then installed RX 580 into the PCIE 16 slot and attached the monitor to it.

Installed drivers with:

./amdgpu-install --opencl=legacy

$ethminer --list-devices
