rtw89 VS ryzen_smu

I found this GitHub link that contains instructions on how to compile the driver for most distributions. However, they require usage of make install so I don't think that would work on NixOs.

I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.

I have seen other people with newer Lenovo systems reporting success with this: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/blob/main/README.md

This is a Realtek rtl8852be chipset and uses the rtw89 driver which does not come prepackaged in the Linux kernel... See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

Got mine working on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with 7 commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install make gcc build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git cd rtw89 make sudo make install sudo reboot 0

Yes I guess, its already been reported in earlier versions. I tried to install from code, https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 But it didn't work either.

Realtek drivers are such a PITA. Check out this guys Github: Link he has instructions on how to get the most common realtek chipsets working. Please note, kernel updates will break the drivers for all realtek workarounds and you will have to redo this after each update.

but to my understanding, it cannot be installed due to kernel related issues. so i tried installing this instead with no luck: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git Install 'fix': git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install load module: sudo modprobe rtw89pci

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install

for Ryzen cpus there's ryzen_smu which appears to be able to do this. not sure about Intel.

For sensor and whatnot, check out corefreq and ryzen_smu.

Attempting to install Ryzen smu on fedora and I am using the "Stand-alone" installation as I understand that fedora/debian/arch are different.

Only out-of-tree modules being run are drivers for rtw8852be wireless card and ryzen_smu. The retbleed flag is not set and I'm running ext4, not f2fs.

For AMD, if you have query access to the SMU coprocessor, you could use corefreq and ryzen_smu; they're for sensor readouts, and they do slightly different things. ​(And Zentimings and HWiNFO for windows.)

Check out corefreq and ryzen_smu; they're for sensor readouts, and they do slightly different things.

That said, the ryzen_smu tool for linux exposes "CLDO_VDDM", which reads out to 0.9504 volts, regardless of load.

Check out this guide. Also check out Ryzen SMU for better sensor readings on linux.

I forgot to mention, Ryzen SMU can be used to for sensor reading.

CPU/RAM overclocking is best done via the firmware, so at worst you're missing out on sensors and other readouts. That said, if you have a ryzen, there are a number of tools available.
