Operating Systems and Porting / Re: New Ubuntu 20.04

They understood as the Ubuntu development team or Canonical. So are you telling me that you won't be able to use Navi 10 on Ubuntu? Not even doing a patched modified kernel?

Operating Systems and Porting / New Ubuntu 20.04

« on: March 23, 2020, 07:00:37 am »

Power Community good morning, in April as we all know, both Ubuntu 20.04 and Fedora 32 will come out, COVID-19 emergency obviously allowing. About Ubuntu 20.04, I was asking myself a question or, what possibility will there be of using the AMD Radeon 5700 graphics cards that we currently use with Fedora with modified Kernel? I know I will use version 5.4 of the Kernel but I don't know what kind of support there will be for graphics cards, does anyone already know how it will work on Ubuntu?


Another thing that I did not understand is why they use 5.4 kernels when version 5.7 is already being developed and with 5.6 that if I have not misunderstood it is already working ...

Thank you

Blackbird / Re: Heatsink dual fan configuration

« on: March 23, 2020, 04:52:39 am »

Yes, you are right, however, I noticed that by placing the top one in the case, in a suction position, that is, it takes all the hot air that is produced inside and throws it out, the system always remains cool even after a few hours of use and therefore there is a general improvement in heat dissipation. In my opinion, if I find a fan that runs at full speed like this but that is more silent, I arrange everything better.

I have the 3U, but it is not an exaggerated thing, attention, there is only a little heat but on the top of the Case not on the processor. Obviously if the system feels high CPU temperatures it makes the fan or fans go faster, so there are no problems, only that I wanted to try to get rid of even the little heat that is generated after a few hours of use, which with the high speed fan I can do very well.

I wanted it a little faster because after a few hours of use, especially when you make the system work more, it starts to warm up a little, it feels to the touch touching the case and therefore the low speed does not help to expel the whole well hot air. I therefore put a fan connected directly to the power supply and then at maximum speed and in doing so the air is expelled much better and the system remains fresh but it makes itself feel like a little noise. If I could adjust this fan I think it would have been better but since it cannot be done, I will try to find a quieter fan and always connect it directly without going through the motherboard, in this way I will always have a full expulsion of air.

So you're telling me that it's not possible to independently adjust the fan speed. Does Fan 3 also have the same speed as Fan 1 and Fan 2? I need to have a faster fan for extracting hot air from the inside ...

Sorry guys, taking up the second fan speech managed by the Blackbird, I didn't understand exactly how to regulate the speed. I have a fan installed in the case which acts as an extractor fan to blow out the hot air produced by the CPU and GPU. Except that the speed of both fans, that of the CPU and the external one connected to the FAN2 pin of the motherboard, are the same so that after loading the PetitBoot, these slow down to the minimum speed. I would like to set the second fan FAN2 at a higher speed so that it sucks all the heat produced inside better. Is there a way through BMC to adjust this speed? Thank you

No, let's hope not, Rapotor says that production does not stop in any case as far as the factory is concerned, only that shipments will be delayed due to this emergency that is really putting the whole world to the test. Here in Italy cases continue to increase despite government restrictions, people do not want to understand that they must stay at home to limit the count. I know that unfortunately the cases are increasing in the United States too, and I believe that President Trump must take serious measures to limit the count too ...

Firmware / Re: New firmware V2.00 BMC procedure

« on: March 18, 2020, 05:36:04 pm »

I begin to understand Xlinder then. Using your example BMC number, it should look like this:
scp image-bmc root@192.168.1.13:/run/initramfs/

after the last number there are 2 points and I left them. The command should therefore be this in the room ...
I just have to find the place where the BMC number is written on the card ... Thanks Xlinder

Firmware / Re: New firmware V2.00 BMC procedure

« on: March 18, 2020, 02:02:43 pm »

In fact I'm not doing it now MPC, I'm following the advice TIM gave me so I won't be doing it anytime soon. I'm just trying to get as much information as I can to run it when I can... Okay Xlinder then that should be the correct syntax:


scp image-bmc root @ <BMC blackbird IP address I find on the card>: / run / initramfs /

2 more questions but I need to ask, the first one is if the brackets <> are part of the command or are they put here just to indicate that you have to put the code on the motherboard? Second question where exactly do I find the code on the board?

Thank you all!

Firmware / Re: New firmware V2.00 BMC procedure

« on: March 17, 2020, 05:53:50 pm »

Well, so for the time being, I'll do as I'm told, avoid doing it until the emergency passes, maybe it's better. Anyway, at least I want to know when I'm gonna do this update. Your explanation is much more complete for me that I've never done anything like this before, but I'm asking for a clarification if that's possible. The exact syntax of the command I have to execute is this:

cp image-bmc root @ <BMC blackbird IP address I find on the card>: / run / initramfs / ?

If there's something to modify, please let me know so I don't risk making mistakes and not succeed next time either... Thank you very much Tim, very kind!

The unzipped file I think is correct because up to that point I was able to follow the Wiki guide without problems and I got the image-bmc file.

My problem is in the procedure and the commands to execute, the exact syntax because as I told you, I've never done it before, the first update was done by you in the company.

Ok thanks MPC, I'll use this and see how it behaves compared to Google translator.

quiet my english is basic as i have to use the translator to write and therefore it is obvious that something is lost on the street and i won't be offended if you tell me that you don't understand well. About Power I have a passion for this architecture and I have always been a supporter of the X86 alternatives, mine is also a battle against what everyone thinks wrong, I speak of the mass obviously not of us, that X86 just because it is the most used means that it is the best. So I've been carrying on this battle against that architecture for years and I'm proud of it. For the rest I repeat, it was an excuse to share the experiences of each country in these very problematic days, a way to call everyone back from all parts of the world and see how it goes ... Obviously I was wrong ...

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Possibility to install Amiga OS 4

« on: March 15, 2020, 10:48:17 am »

At this point I also think it is a problem related to the firmware because in themselves the CPUs are of the same family and therefore on Power 9 we have all the Power and PowerPC instructions and therefore also in my opinion with a firmware written on purpose, it is possible to run Amiga OS4 ... If anyone had the opportunity to write it it would be a nice thing ...

If you didn't understand the meaning of my post, I launched it both to praise IBM's work and to share this bad experience that is uniting us all over the world because this COVID-19 is becoming a worldwide problem and I wanted to share with the whole Power community which is located in various parts of the world. Except that there is not much participation perhaps the meaning of this post has not been understood ...
