Phoronix: Navi 14 Is Ready To Go On Mesa 19.3 Git & Back-Ported To Mesa 19.2

As a follow-up to the recent story on AMD looking to land Navi 14 support in the imminent Mesa 19.2, that code for the smaller Navi GPU did successfully land into Mesa 19.3-devel and was back-ported to the 19.2 series for the upcoming 19.2.0 stable release...

What is the state regarding firmware blobs for Navi 10? Is additional user interaction required when using mesa 19.2, latest libdrm and linux 5.2?

The firmware files are always needed regardless of kernel/Mesa version.

I know that, but recently it was said they were still missing in linux-firmware. So one would have to manually retrieve and copy them to the corresponding path?

I remember leaving such comment here And indeed, there is no Navi files in upstream git repository. You can check it yourself: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...it/tree/amdgpu

Most notably, Navi 14 required disabling of the "Next-Gen Geometry" support and falling back to the legacy pipeline as apparently NGG is buggy on Navi 14.

Michael , you probably got it wrong. Nobody said that it was buggy, it is hard to implement support for NGG and still push it in 19.2, so they stick to a working legacy pipeline.
Please check bridgman's comment here

I don't think anyone mentioned non-functional NGG, did they ? All Marek said was that the 19.2 pull request was using non-NGG paths because there wasn't going to be time to debug the GDS hangs and still get into 19.2.

I found your post, thanks. This is really inconvenient.

For some reason Navi firmware wasn't added upstream (yet?). You can find it here: https://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5..._ucode/navi10/
