Hello,

Some touchscreen laptops notably from HP have an accelerometer based on AMD Sensor Fusion Hub which does not have a driver for Linux kernel needed for auto rotation of screen.

In my case, it is a HP Envy x360 15-cp0xxx equipped with Ryzen 2500U. As highlighted on the bug report​, one of Linux kernel maintainer vainly contacted one of AMD department to provide at least information from that device

03:00.7 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device [1022:15e4]

Would you mind providing a functional driver for AMD Sensor Fusion Hub or at least the information of that devicefor AMD users running on your hardware? The benefit will be great as the goal is to get AMD hardware seemly working with open source. Thanks in advance.

We need the driver please help our community.

[andalsothetrees]

I agree with Luya and Alfonso.

We do need support from AMD to extend adoption among laptop linux users.

Hi,

I would also like acceleration/gyro support on linux. Here's my lspci output:

Any news from AMD about this? 

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Any news regarding this?

[finalzone]

Follow-up for identifying the AMD Sensor Fusion HUB missing the Linux kernel driver highlighted below:

04:00.7 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device [1022:15e4]

That information is needed by the iio accelerometer sensor to allow the proper functionality of auto-rotation screen. I understand about the non-disclosure agreement for relerase the information but it will be notice to obtain the name of the based device so open-source can create at least a driver.

[alfonsofernandezyf]

I don't understand, do you need any information from us

[finalzone]

The information from AMD themselves. One of AMD contributors mentioned about the possible NDA to not provide programs from a licensed third party which probably explains the silence. The part is to find the name of that third party provider for that sensor fusion.

[finalzone]

The Sensor Fusion Hub is correctly identified on  kernel 4.20.14:

03:00.7 Non-VGA unclassified device [0000]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Raven/Raven2/Renoir Sensor Fusion Hub [1022:15e4]

It is a good sign and hopefully the driver will land soon.

[finalzone]

Any update for the possible Linux driver for the Sensor Fusion Hub?

#missing amd sensor fusion hub‌ #linux kernel‌

[mrs]

I would also like if at least the basic orientation sensor input would be available

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Linux 5.1 has just been anounced. Any news regarding this driver?

[finalzone]

Nothing so far on kernel 5.1 series not even 5.2. Only a i2c controller for some laptops.

[xxmitsu]

There is some good news regarding this: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2019-May/034431.html

"

The FCH team is working on a driver for it and should have something available by August.

"

However, a previous answer was:

"

On most programs the accelerometers were provided by the OEM as part of their platform design.  I'm not sure how it works on newer programs. 

"

So it might require some intervention from OEMs .. but, let's hope for the best! 

[finalzone]

Glad to hear the driver is on the way.

[sipak]

Bump! I strongly promote AMD for many reasons. Glad to hear you haven't forgot about Linux :3

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Hi, has the driver been published yet? Is anybody tried Kernel 5.4?

[finalzone]

Not yet at this time. See [Follow-up] Status of AMD Sensor Fusion HUB for Linux 

[finalzone]

I just got an email letting know the code for AMD Sensor Fusion HUB is finally available on Linux IIO - Patchwork for testing.

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Hi any updates about this issue?

[finalzone]

AMD Sensor Fusion HUB codes for the kernel is yet to land on the kernel mainline due  to review. AMD team are currently working on the fixes needed to address.

Re: [PATCH v5 0/4] SFH: Add Support for AMD Sensor Fusion Hub - Andy Shevchenko 

[alfonsofernandezyf]

Thank you, this will help a lot of users with AMD laptops.

[finalzone]

AMD Sensor Fusion HUB support finally landed on Linux mainline kernel for the 5.11 release. Kudos to AMD team and Linux kernel reviewers for making it possible.

[gnu]

I'm running the Linux 5.11-rc3 kernel in a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14" with a Ryzen 5 4500U.  The SFH is visible and the accelerometer behind it is also visible.  But running monitor-sensor just says:

Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear
+++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared
=== Has accelerometer (orientation: undefined)
=== No ambient light sensor

No matter how I move the laptop, or bend the screen hinge, the accelerometer output never changes.  Besides the existing kernel changes, there is some other change needed to allow the HID subsystem to see orientation changes and notify the window system.  I have already updated the udev hwdb for this accelerometer.  I've seen in examples from other accelerometers that monitor-sensor is supposed to produce more lines of output, saying the screen is upside-down or sideways, but that never happens.  Meanwhile, when I bend the screen all the way back into tablet mode, the BIOS is apparently disabling the keyboard and trackpad (and briefly displaying a picture on the screen about that), so the accel  or some other sensor is apparently working at least as far as the BIOS is concerned.

It would be a shame if these SFH changes Finally got into the mainline linux kernel and still didn't work to enable screen rotation to be noticed by the software!  Help!     -- gnu@amd-community.toad.com

"=== Has accelerometer (orientation: undefined)" shows the accelerometer has an issue. Try to reboot your laptop by holding the power button for ten seconds. Once done, you will be able to get similar result below:

Hej!

I have an ASUS Vivobook Flip working on a AMD Ryzen 3 4300U. I'm really happy with the device, which works perfectly well on Linux, except : this accelerometer issue.

I got help, and we tested a backport of the driver recently added to the kernel and it does not work. Unfortunately, it's a known issue: there is no support for Renoir devices (like mine). This driver apparently only works with Ryzen 3xxx and not further. The Linux community is waiting for information from AMD: "AMD needs to provide us with an appropriate report descriptor for the accelerometer used on Renoir devices".

It would be cool not waiting 2 more years to get the support for the recent CPUs

[finalzone]

Shame the newer mobile Ryzen APUs lack support which showed AMD needs work to include them ideally at their release.

One of Linux kernel developers currently on a patch to improve the performance of accelerometer. So far sensors is working fine on an HP Envy x360 Ryzen 5 2500U and needs tablet mode fixed.
