So with no GCN 1.0 / Southern Islands AMDGPU support, can you have any opencl with ubuntu 16.04 and up on these cards at all?

I can download and update firmware for my wireless printer. I would expect the GPU operating system to be able to do the same.

In general we keep our microcode very low level and don't particularly want to change that.
The one exception is the "HW Scheduler" in the MEC block, but in that case we maintain a separate non-HWS path in the drivers so we can perform similar functions in driver code.Test signature

I would love to see some progress being made on the whole DAL thing. I really wanna invest in a Freesync monitor but won't play extra for something I might not be able to use on Linux.
So far all the info I found through articles was that it's 90k lines of code, that it's apparently quite horribly written and will have to be re-written from scratch? How is that going? Is there a roadmap? Or a tracker that is just the DAL efforts? Because for the last 5 months it's been "Oh yea, the DAL isn't ready yet..." and it's getting a little frustrating :/
