Michael,

You have been doing great coverage of this driver, as always. But it intrigues me the mention to Broadwell. I have a computer with Iris Pro 5200 (Haswell) and clinfo only reports a device is present with Beignet. And couldn’t find anything on GitHub to make this driver run on Broadwell. Do you have any info on that?

Thanks!

It worked fine for me when installing on Broadwell Iris Pro system... Maybe remove your Beignet ICD if that is interfering by seeing the device first?

Thanks! I will try to reinstall things and get back with results.

My my notes are that removing the Beignet ICD and installing the NEO did not work - at least clinfo outputs zero devices with NEO, but outputs correctly when Beignet gets in. I’ll check if there is anything wrong with apt garbage or a missing config too.

Michael, just to get back on the topic. It seems Gen 7.5 is not supported, which is the case of Iris Pro 5200. I’ve found a white paper with some details on the hardware (https://software.intel.com/sites/def...ics%20Gen8.pdf).I’ll use Beignet until performance or features lag too much behind.

Again, thanks a lot for your attention on the topic!

Gen 7.5 is Haswell, which is not supported by NEO. As in the article, only Broadwell/Gen8 and newer.
