/aura-gpu

i2c driver for AURA capable GPUs

Primary LanguageC

Before Installing

You are required to have gcc, make and kernel-headers installed for building the module.

To detect your kernel version run:

uname -r

It will output something like

5.3.11-1-MANJARO

Then, on Manjaro, run:

sudo pacman -S linux53-headers

To Install

Clone the repo into a github directory in your home folder:

mkdir github
cd github
git clone https://github.com/twifty/aura-gpu.git
cd aura-gpu

Then run:

make install

The installer will prompt for your sudo password in order to insert the module into the kernel.

After Install

The i2c-dev module is required:

sudo pacman -S i2c-tools
sudo modprobe i2c-dev

List all i2c devices with:

sudo i2cdetect -l

It will output something like

i2c-3   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 4 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-10  i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 4                  I2C adapter
i2c-1   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 2 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-8   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 2                  I2C adapter
i2c-6   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 1                  I2C adapter
i2c-4   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 0                  I2C adapter
i2c-11  i2c             AURA GPU adapter                        I2C adapter
i2c-2   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 3 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-0   smbus           SMBus PIIX4 adapter port 0 at 0b00      SMBus adapter
i2c-9   i2c             AMDGPU DM i2c hw bus 3                  I2C adapter
i2c-7   i2c             dmdc                                    I2C adapter
i2c-5   i2c             dmdc                                    I2C adapter

Here we can see this module "AURA GPU adapter" is detected as device number 11. We can now scan that device with:

sudo i2cdetect -y 11

It should output all clients available on that bus:

     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
