radeon rx480 armor, openCL and ubuntu

So I purchased a few Radeon RX480 armors so I could use them for openCL on ubuntu 16.04 . I went through and downloaded the correct amdgpu-pro driver for ubuntu, and the AMD openCL SDK. It appears that the cards themselves are using the amdgpu drivers but show nothing when I check clinfo. All the installers finished and exited correctly and there's no error other than the fact that the devices don't show.

Is this a known issue that the Radeon RX480 armors don't work with openCL on linux? I should mention that I spent maybe 6 hours trying different versions of drivers, AMD openCL sdk and reinstalling the operating system (ubuntu 16.04.1) .

I'm not aware of any OpenCL problems with specific board brand/models, so don't think that is it.

I'll ask someone from the OpenCL team to take a look at your post and recommend troubleshooting steps. As a start, though, can you please run "glxinfo | grep renderer" and let me know what you get back for renderer string ? That would at least give us an idea if the kernel driver was installed correctly.

1445.5 seems rather old. Are you sure you installed the latest amdgpu-pro correctly?
