Phoronix: Navi 14 AMDGPU Firmware Lands In The Linux-Firmware.Git Tree

Just one day after announcing the Radeon RX 5500 series as the first Navi 14 GPUs, AMD has submitted the firmware binaries to the linux-firmware.git tree that are required for usage with the open-source Linux graphics driver...

so the learned from the navi10 firmware issues ^^

Hopefully they will get compute worked out soon, otherwise there is little point in jumping on this card. The reason is pretty simple, more software is using compute and other modern GPU card features, than ever before. We aren’t talking HPC but rather desktop apps widely used by the average user.

Updating the firmware now complains about a ton of missing files (even with all the latest added). It's not really breaking anything, just quite noisy:

Same here. I was looking forward to upgrading to a Navi card but without the OpenCL I would be able do FoldingatHome with my new video card. The waiting game continues.

You can always use the "pal" opencl driver files from AMD's Radeon Software for Linux. That's what I use and Darktable seems to work fine.
