Yocto layer to support AMD 2nd Generation R-Series APU (baldeagle).
The layer is intended to be used in conjunction with the Yocto meta-amd
layer and is dependent upon it.
Please see the README file contained in the root meta-amd directory for general information and usage details.
The recommended GPU driver for the 2nd Generation R-Series APU when using a 4.14 kernel remains radeon
,
however the meta-amd
layer provides support (in the form of a backported patch set for kernel version 4.14)
for the newer amdgpu
driver (see here for kernel configuration details https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU).
The recommended GPU driver for the 2nd Generation R-Series APU when using a 4.19 kernel is amdgpu
. Which driver
to use can be selected via the variable USE_AMDGPU
. Setting this to "yes"
selects the neweramdgpu
driver, any
other value selects the radeon
driver.
