GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Intel Arc Support in Kernel 6.8

« on: January 22, 2025, 01:20:00 pm »

I got some new conversations with Arc engineers today and there is a light on the horizon to get ARC work without blobs or at least with a reduced dose of blobs. I will testing on coming days and report here later.

Intel Arc it can work without blobs, however on xe driver the flag to boot without blobs it is disabled, i talked with intel arc engineer about and they are not interested to enable the flag on xe to boot without blobs(3 blobs).
i915 it has a flag to boot without blobs but i915 driver dont support power9 as xe does. There is another option to nvidia, but last time i asked to nvidia engineers they are not interested ti support power9.
So at the moment i using built-in aspeed gpu on my blackbird, aspeed gpu still good but on 720p monitor.

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Debian 12 status?

I prefer 64K than 4K. I am using 64K on GnuTrisquel  11 GnuLinux (Libre) v6.11 and all wonderful. I think that PPC deserve 64K. Also it is shame for Debian being friendly with blobs propietary all this is happen because Evil Fedora.
Also i am worried  that pocock it selling all ppc machines. = (

Firmware / Re: Idenitfy versions of firmwares

I have Blackbird Pnor v2.10 from v2.0, however your BMC/PNOR v2.7 looks like  a devel version from where else.
When i first started with my Blackbird i was lost, i didnt know where to start, as PowerPC is different with X86, 2 years later having my Blackbird and investing tons of time in PowerPC knowledge, now my Blackbird works like a Charm and i dont plans to go back to x86.

 Kudos for Raptor! Special Thanks to Raptor Engineering!

Thats is a known bug on old Gnu Linux version in BMC, so i not remember well which Gnu Linux version it fixed, but it is. I hope Raptor team release a new BMC version with newer Gnu Linux version like v6.0+

Thanks.

My wishes it is ReversingEngineering or Hack the 2 Blobs for IBM Power 10 or wait to Power 11 to see what is going on to Condor.
Other wishes to Condor it is Built-in  Kestrel and FSF RYF.
