I think we are still a long way from having a dedicated section in Europe. Same thing I said about the sales pitch...

General Discussion / Re: The pride of being Power!
« on: July 06, 2020, 01:07:42 pm »
Hi Borley, I confirm that Raptor cards are built entirely in the United States of America, I believe that to date they are the only ones that can boast the construction of a motherboard for desktop computers, specifically in the West and America. Power 9 pure is produced in the United States but in New York, a Global Foundries factory that was owned by IBM micro elettronics and which left IBM's proprietary 14 nM production process as a dowry. One of the things I like most about our Power systems is this one, motherboard and processor, all made in the USA, against the rest of the world that is made in China and Taiwan ...! In fact, Raptor is proud of this and I agree with them perfectly!

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 32 is released
« on: July 06, 2020, 12:59:42 pm »
No guys, the new 5.7.6 kernel doesn't work for me. I also tried to update the other spare Fedora 32 which has a mechanical Hardisk instead of an SSD, but the result does not change. The thing, however, that I understood thanks to the mechanical hardisk is that this time it just doesn't load the operating system. When I use the mechanic, obviously it takes a few seconds to load and you can also see it regularly charging Fedora 32. In this case instead, as soon as I try to start the one with version 5.7.6, as soon as it enters loading it stops almost immediately and ends , stay planted. I don't know if there is any conflict with something that I normally use and that annoys this Kernel, otherwise I won't explain it as up to now and until version 5.6.19, no problem ... I don't know whether to wait for the next version or write to the Fedora team for help ...

Guys I just updated the Kernel to 5.7.6 but it seems that at least for the moment, it doesn't work on 10/14 Ships... I don't know if you've had a chance to try it too, maybe the MPC friend will have had a chance to get the same feedback...

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Any Linux Desktop for X86 run on Talos/Raptor?
« on: June 26, 2020, 12:32:03 pm »
Guys, I would avoid trying to emulate or run X86 software on Power in general. I think it doesn't make much sense, if you choose Power you're doing it to go against the trend and completely on the right side of the X86 world, so I don't think it's the best thing to do. Then in general emulators have never been a lightning bolt in my opinion, they are emulators but they will never give you the performance they can give you in their environment... Then they are my considerations attention, but in my opinion I repeat, if you marry the Power philosophy you do it just to go the opposite way to X86 and to have the performance and advantages offered by Power...

The problem is that through emulation you don't make good use of the hardware you have available and I also believe that there would be some difficulties being a very big game. The interesting thing in my opinion would be to be able to have the code available to make it a version for dedicated Power, at that point you could better exploit the features of Power in my opinion

I understand now, I believed that once you program on Linux, the code is provided given the open source nature of Linux. Of course it won't be easy at this point but let's see, maybe they will make it available, it would be nice considering the game really well done and technically incredible. It would also be a good test for video cards like the 5700 Navi 10 for example ... Hopefully good ...

Hi Classic, so in your opinion Rockstar won't give access to the code once the Linux version is available? Can't the same thing happen as happened with Unrial Tournament 4 for example?

Firmware / CPU Firmware
« on: June 22, 2020, 03:34:18 pm »
Hello, all power community, I had a question for everyone in this fine community that I understand you're all pretty much all but me... As we all know, one of the advantages of Power is that it gives us the power to rewrite, for example, the CPU firmware to our liking. I wonder at this point, what skills are needed to do it and what real advantages does the power bring? I'll give you guys the word if you want...
Thank you
Thank you

Applications and Porting / Red Dead Redemption 2 For Linux
« on: June 21, 2020, 03:28:08 am »
Hi guys from Power comunity, I just read that apparently, Rockstar Games, is working not only on a Windows version of this crazy game, but also on a Linux version and that even the Linux version is even more performing than its Windows counterpart. Now I wonder, in your opinion, will the sources be made available to develop it for Power as well? For us it would be a great blow because that game is impressive technically and already on Playstation 4. despite the limitations of a hardware of 7 years ago now on balance, has shown really good things. Today with the graphics cards we have at our disposal, I think it could be really great and we would make a quantum leap as a really great game software... What do the experienced programmers among you who already compile games with the sources say about it? Enlighten us... :-)

I can do a test now with both Kernel 5.4 and 5.6 and I see if it differs from these as it is on Kernel 5.5

« on: June 09, 2020, 07:32:31 am »
understood now, no from me the monitor detects the first output that is active and therefore AST. Then if I use modified Kernel 5.4 or 5.5, then AST is deactivated at the end of the loading of the operating system and at that point the monitor turns black. After a few seconds Navi 10 is activated and the monitor sends the video of Navi 10. With the official Kernels instead AST remains active always and that's why I didn't realize. I asked the Fedora team if it is possible to have this type of function also on the official Kernel or at the end of the upload, disconnect AST

My personal experience with the audio via HDMI of the Navi 10 GPU is negative from the beginning. When I did the test when I was able to use the modified 5.5 kernel that allowed to use the GPU audio, I remember that it was disturbed, I already speak from Fedora 31. Then I didn't try anymore because I don't care as I use the dedicated sound card in my case. But I thought the problem was in the audio management contained in the used drivers that we currently have available in the patch. With Kernel 5.4.0.2 I don't remember if I tried but in general I remember that the audio coming from the HDMI output of the Navi 10 was not good.
