i use gentoo 64bit(x86_64). i just got my HD 5570 in the mail...looking at

http://developer.amd.com/gpu/atistreamsdk/pages/default.aspx

i am under the assumtion that the SDK will support my card.

but when i run say "PATH='' ./BinarySearch" i get a "Error: clGetPlatformIDs failed. Error code : unknown error code" at the end of my output...

not to mention i was unaware that there are no display drivers for the 5570...

http://support.amd.com/us/psearch/Pages/psearch.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.47.3.1&contentType=GPU+Download+Detail&ostype=Linux+x86_64&keywords=&items=20

i rehook my other video card and hook the 5570 into another slot, oO(okay i bought it to program anyway...yadayada)

but with 'aticonfig' and the compiled files giving me 'getplatformID' error i am feeling weary that my card will not work properly or have less functionality down the road.

question: how can i tell if there are any 'limitations', or am i screwed? did i just waste $100? will there be 5570 drivers or is it too far behind with the sexy 5970 out? i bought this thinking i could use it as a prototype/development card because i don't have the money to spend on better hardware

one more thing i forgot to mention -_-

the pdf that comes in the docs with the sdk download...doesn't say 5570 is supported...

[zlice0]

reading the little tiny line at the bottom of the pdf it says the list is the sdk site list...good ease there.

so i guess my question only boils down to how long until the card's supported?

anyone know where the right direction is for 5570 linux dev?

did you properly install ATI SDK. set link in /usr/lib/OpenCL/vendors

export ATISTREAMSDKROOT variable

run FindNumDevic in cal samples folder from SDK

officialy is supported only Ubuntu OpenSUSE and Red Hat so try ubuntu for example.

the libs are linked in /usr/lib/OpenCL/vendors

i thought the ATISTREAMSDKROOT was for compiling?

well the CLInfo seems to 'see' my card...or so i think. (the 128bit bus/memory alignment?)

(this is seeming more like a different topic, but ill take w/e help i can get...)

[nou]

this is issue with driver instalation. FindNumDevices can not find any GPU and CLInfo show only CPU device not GPU.

i just got 'something'...

i didn't set the ATISTREAMSDKROOT so when i did and remade my 'edited' BinarySearch (messing around with the clGetPlatformIDs do to the error)

look at that, 5570 drivers came out, TODAY. everything seems to be working fine now. now all i have to deal with is the msi card having a VGA port right at the top that makes it hard to re/move from the slot, annnndd the drivers aren't source and take up more memory than i'd like (50more MB x_x, i have 6GB fyi...picky)

lol i noticed the 'release date' changed from 2/17/10 to 2/16/10, sorry if i got anybody in trouble
