No, amdgpu support for SI/CIK is not built. It was used to bootstrap the driver in linux, and even now SI support is labelled experimental.

There is code to support your card (id 0x6631 if I figured it out correctly) in the amdgpu driver indeed. So as Jonathan said in answer to your previous mail you can tray to disable radrondrm from the boot prompt: boot -c disable radeondrm* quit Then the amdgpu driver should attach to your card. In addition you can force the download of the amdgpu firmware in advance by running : fw_update amdgpu If this works, see the config(8) manual page for details to save the modified kernel. -- Matthieu Herrb
