ROCK-Kernel-Driver VS radeon-profile

No, just dangling documentation on the ROCm/HIP etc repos/sites, and the knowledge that all device DMA used to only support PCIe-a-like within the drivers/firmware, but as per that whitepaper above mentions a lot of effort was put into infinity fabric of CDNA2 so it would be very strange to use it for p2p. That the driver memory topology only recently enabled p2pDMA from what I have been following. This of course would require firmware (if not already there) and userspace to handle such a situation. Hence why I was asking for clearer source on MI250x specifically, and if it was recent.

Even if people refer to AMDGPU driver as AMD made, it is not AMD but guys from open source, this: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCK-Kernel-Driver which also leads to this: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMDgpu_(Linux_kernel_module)#:~:text=Community%5Bedit%5D,libdrm%2C%20Xorg%2C%20Wayland#:~:text=Community%5Bedit%5D,libdrm%2C%20Xorg%2C%20Wayland). If i got that right. AMDGPU PRO driver is what is installed on Windows a proprietary driver which it seems is built upon AMDGPU open source but this one is signed by AMD... Witch got me thinking as AMD refusing to bring Radeon Software Center to Linux, seems like best thin for open source is to community and companies like Canonical, Rad Hat etc start builtin hardware for open software... a perfect mix of things?

Plus, if we're going to talk about stuff developers are sick of, how about releasing packages that are broken? https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCK-Kernel-Driver/pull/117 Kind of pointless to put up a release package if it's going to be obviously broken to this extent. In the end getting this to work still involved manually going in and patching things, both with the driver and then with the runtime libraries for tensorflow, making it not much better than dealing with NVIDIA. Even worse since this at least would've been caught in automated testing.

I purchased a used MSI r9 360 at a swap meet several days ago, and upon chucking it into my rig it worked well, however the fans did not spin by default. I was able to get it onto Radeon drivers (I think) but it doesn't show up on mangohud or psensor, and the only way to get the fans to actually spin is via this GitHub project which does work fine but booting up a program and having to run it in the background isn't ideal. Any advice on what I can do to try and get it to work more seamlessly?

I used " radeon profile " when I first switched from windows to Linux, it's less fancy than adrenalyn, but it has some OC capabilities and such, if you wanna check it out

And perhaps worth a mention that there is another app called Radeon Profile avilable at https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile similar to Corectrl, but it hasn't been maintained for the past 2 years.

First of all follow everything on this guide. If your GPU fans don't work install Radeon Profile (yay -S radeon-profile-git). If you have a multi-monitor setup and one of them doesn't work you can try checking in Radeon Profile if the monitors are detected, like this. If it is connected but not active and you can't get it to active, you can try changing the mkinitcpi.conf file and putting MODULES=(amdgpu radeon) instead of the default MODULES="". After that you run sudo mkinitcpio -P and reboot. If your mouse cursor is invisible in Xorg you can try following this. Now enjoy your brand new GPU.

My recommendation is that you try out radeon-profile and CAREFULLY read how you set it up and it's daemon.

Things should 'just work'. If you want more details on the hardware perf you can try this stuff: Corectrl or Radeon-profile and Manghud
