#57988 — Bug#864529: firmware-amd-graphics: missing firmware for AMD Radeon RX 560,570,580

Package: firmware-amd-graphics
Version: 20161130-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

the new AMD Radeon RX 560 is currently missing a important firmware file:
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/polaris11_k_smc.bin (RX 560)
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/polaris10_k_smc.bin (RX 570, RX 580)

This firmware was added to linux-firmware.git back in February 2017:
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
firmware.git/commit/?id=21d7887c63e5d21b4aaa4519e3e5fc058d86de61>

Adding the firmware file manually into /lib/firmware/amdgpu
and loading amdgpu module does work as expected. The driver loads
and the GFX card has surprisingly good support. (No really!)

Thanks,
Christian Lamparter

#58638

I am confirming this affects me as well, installing the kernel from
stretch-backports, using an AMD RX 580.

The workaround is to clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/
git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/, and copy the missing files to their
proper place using rsync -a -v --ignore-existing source
/lib/firmware/amdgpu/. After that, the system boots fine.

I am hoping the appropriate firmware files will be added soon in
backports.
