Hello recently i received my jupiter i bought some months ago. i discovered that radeon r7 265 and rx 5500xt are recognized but the driver missing, how i can make these gpus working with jupiter?
There are 2 drivers you need:
- The kernel driver
- The userspace driver
The kernel driver
Check lspci -k and search for your GPU. If it says amdgpu under kernel module in use, the kernel driver is installed and working. You don‘t have to do anything
Otherwise, you need to recompile the kernel with the corresponding modules enabled (this might not at all be trivial. Refer to the gentoo wiki for what you need to enable. Refer to milkv or spacemit‘s documentation (if that exists. idk) on how to configure/compile the kernel.)
The userspace driver
This is more simple. For this you just need to install the amd-relevant parts of mesa. Depending on your distro, that might just exist in the repo, where you would just need to install the corrwsponding package.
I‘m currently not home. Once I‘m home and if I know what OS you‘re running exactly, I can give more helpful info.

which image are you using?
Does zcat /proc/config.gz | grep AMDGPU return anything?
I’ve received an email response.
“In order for the graphics card to work, we need to modify the kernel, we will complete the documentation as soon as possible, or in the future release of the image to support it.”

I hope they add AMDGPU to their initramfs. I feel like a full sized PCIe slot just begs to have a graphics card inserted. It’s likely one of the more common use cases of the PCIe slot. Considering that AMDGPU and mesa work almost perfectly on riscv, and a dedicated GPU can make a system really, really snappy, it would be a real shame if their image wouldn’t support it.
What OS image are you running. I would’ve expected you’re on bianbu, but that screenshot looks to be from a different image.
Drivers are not the only problems (for now).

if you want im available for beta testing patches on my rx 5500 XT
