- It's not clickbait if it's the truth.
I bought an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. I plugged it into a Raspberry Pi. This is what happened.
I would give you a link to where you can buy one, but... you basically can't. I'm thanking my lucky stars I could buy one at MSRP, because if not, I don't think I'd be able to afford the keyboard I'm typing this on!
If you like what you see, and want me to continue doing insane things with Pis and other devices-and maybe someday get an external GPU working on the Pi, please consider supporting the channel:

"So could I run Skyrim?"
Asking the real questions here
I mean, Skyrim will run on linux under Proton, with some issues (because of Skyrim). I did it on x86 though, it is highly likely ARM changes the calculus substantially.
But can it run crysis?
I actually got skyrim running on a i5 8gb RAM with intel graphics card on
Tod Howard will rerelease to every platform eventually. It's science
@@abyssalreclass what is he install windows 11 arm with amd graphics ? xD
“Production raspberry Pi”. That cracked me up.
me too :-)
I think it is relative to the size of the business and how mission critical the purpose. A pi cluster might actually meet production requirements for some small companies. I would think that one could use a pi for a Soho printer server as an example.
Sure! a cuda accelerated pi for cuda heavy applications on ARM :)
A HA setup using Pi might be more production ready than the equivalent priced 'proper' server.
If that's all you can afford, why not? I know some businesses use mini corp PCs in clusters as edge nodes, because it does HA for a cost that can't be beat in the enterprise hardware space.
well, Pis are being used for embedded purposes
there are companies who sell products with Pis (be it CM or not) in them
such companies are actually the biggest customers of the Raspberry Pi Foundation these days

A word of caution: never interchange modular power supply cables from different manufacturers.
Not even different models! That will let the blue smoke out of your components.
If it fits, it should be able to carry the rated amount for that connection.
@@CTimmerman the pinout on the PSU itself might be different and you may end up shorting something out
@@FeuerToifel Sounds like an Apple move. CTIA vs OMTP.
It’s wire gauge. Not all adaptors use the same thickness of wire, especially between manufacturers and definitely between models of the same manufacturer. If it’s too thin a gauge, you get to see the blue smoke. That “if it fits” comment is like; sure I’ll put 0-20w oil in my 10-30w spec vehicle, it’s oil! 🤪🤦♂️ and you can definitely fit a 4 gauge in an amp that requires 00… you’ll start a fire.

( Hello from Belgium )
I was going to ask why you went with AMD over Nvidia, but then I remembered Linus Torvalds video to them, so I'm not going to ask that 😂
Drivers! Nvidia is insanely hard to work with if you have problems. Nouveau is valiant reverse engineering but nothing beats getting the source code itself.
@@JeffGeerling Nvidia is just shooting itself in the foot by doing that, but money has this blinding effect when you are on top
itwas alreadydonewithunsuccessful results
My question is why is Nvidia just the assumed choice... This gen, AMD matches or bests them in rasterization... If prices were MSRP, AMD would be a far better value too
@@post-leftluddite Well if you could grab a Founders edition of the 3070 or 3060 ti then value would probably trend toward the nvidia card at msrp. However, since nividia has pulled back on production to artificially keep prices up through to their next launch.. It's really hard to run across nvidia cards that are reasonable priced even at retailers. I was in the market for the 3070 but eventually was able to buy a rx 6700 xt for msrp. I'm perfectly happy with my card and considering how much the nvidia cards have continued to go up.. I feel I got the better deal for my pocketbook
"Its built in Mali GPU core" it's a VideoCore, broadcom's own thing though isn't it?
It is.
Yeah, slip of the tongue there. oops!
Does anyone know if there's any acceleration in the kernel "lima" driver yet? I am desperate to get a Gentoo Linux build working properly on an old dual-core Banana Pro board with Mali graphics -as well as on the Pi.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Mali GPUs should be supported very well by Panfrost, no idea about VideoCore.
@@JeffGeerling I paused the video and immediately came here to the comments to check if I wasn't the only one to notice this.
Really love the raspberry pi wizardly levels you're getting into
Greetings from Colombia :)
Although you are probably not even beyond compiling the driver; given the amount of power that card can consume, once you can try to boot check if the powerrails are stable. The PI might not consume enough 5v, for the power supply to stabilize.
As for enabling ssh on the pi, you could also go onto the machine and just run raspi-config and enable ssh under the configure interface which takes about 2 second and a lot fewer keystrokes. Just as an alternative.
I love this project, legit had this exact idea a year ago. Realizing driver support issues is a major problem when it comes to unsupported architecture was the end for me. I Have hope now tho
Love your videos, it's contributions like these that keep me loving the raspberry pi!
This is exciting!!! I can’t wait for the next episode!!!
Could you plug your Starlink and your cable ISP and some 4G+/5G modems in one raspberry pi and aggregate these connections into one super fast and super reliable using MPTCP (especially from Kernel)?
these are the real questions
Nice video. I especially liked your walk through for the kernel recompiling.
interesting as always 👍😀
great first try, looking forward to seeing progress.
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀
Glad to read you got the GPU at MSRP that would be my only problem with this video if not, good on you for not helping scalpers besides that this is an awesome video man.
Jeff! You may require a powered riser to provide the 75 watts over the pcie slot; (I'm not 100% sure though, that specific card may be built to work without it) But several cards I own use the 75 watts from the board in combination with the extra 6/8 pin; just something to consider.
Love your channel, keep up the amazing work!
Lol power the riser
19:45 I did something extremely similar to redirect my starbound saving to my pi so that I could seamlessly jump between my pc and laptop. Worked great, actually. I should make myself a script to automate most of the process and back it up somewhere so that I can quickly set it up on w/e I please, or if I distro hop. I'm tempted to try putting an entire steam library on it so that I can access my games OTA without worrying about my actual devices space and updating on both, but I'm worried about the Pis limitations, and how steam could/would act up with it...
always good to watch a video of something that I'm interested to do, but have neither the time nor the willpower to follow through. Looking forward to an update on this :D
AMD: I have cpus with pretty powerful gpus inside them.
2021: you could make a gpu with an integrated computer
1:05 - relate, last time I bought a new GPU was 5 years ago when the GTX 1060 launched and am still using it, but for almost everything else I buy used.
I do love how AMD GPUs have open source linux drivers though im guessing you'll have pi issues. will be neat to GPU accelerate some things off of a pi, I cant think of what I'd do so its probably not useful to me.
I have never bought a new GPU. Had a used 970, and it died. Running a used 980 ti currently 😋
AMD's drivers are not fully Open Source - there are still a lot o binary blobs in their drivers. But they are far more Open Source than NVIDIA.
@@guiorgy No one has released a new game in the last 10 years (with the exception of Fallout 4 in 2015) that is worthy of any kind of GPU upgrade. I have (and am still happily using) a GTX960, a GTX50ti and an AMD R9 380 - they all handle the games worthy of my play time.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Not everyone wants to play games on low setting.
@@nadirjofas3140 You clearly did not read my comment above. Go read it again, then you'll realise your response above is entirely irrelevant.
You like modern games, I do not - they are derivative, expensive, packed with DLC and buggy upon release. I therefore do not want to "invest" in such a poor quality experience. As I stated above, if you had read it.
I'm literally in awe with your desktop setup!! would like to have something like that one day!!! :)
Definitely liked what I saw and was engaged through out. Liked and subbed 👍🏼
The main reason for multiple cables isn't the conductors from the PSU -- it's multiple *pins* on the connectors that matter. Those connection points are where the majority of the resistance occurs (and thus resistive heating).
..well actually thats in part correct, 1. a conductor has a limited surface area (perpendicular to the flow of electrons), 2. at higher frequencys the self impedance of any none super conductor will increase, 3. electrons will be forced outward in the cables, 4. at 6GHZ ther is about zero electrons, passing trough the center of the cable regadless of load, wich means more cables (and more fine threaded) the more surface area to conduct it will be to even out load at higher frequencys, even if the main clock itself isent 6GHz ther is more clocks..and together they are not 100% synced wich adds higher frequency ripple in the cables (the electrons move considerbly faster than the PSU can compensate)
"I have to justify this purchase..." aaaaahhh good ole' tax write-off. I see what you did there, haha!
Really enjoyed this video style, nice job
Thanks Jeff, never tried compiling a kernel (Except on an old DRS6000 server I used to work on....), so going to have a play with your setup, many thanks

You're such a tease! I was thinking I would finally see you get it working. I know you will, just a matter of time.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the work done. Such questions:
1) Is the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8G card suitable for these purposes?
2) If so, where can I find drivers for it?
3) If not, what chips are suitable for these purposes? I looked at your site and I think that the video card that I suggested should be suitable for these purposes.
Thanks Jeff!
Kernel 5.14 was released with Pi 400 support so there's non zero chance it will work just fine with CM4, have you tried going vanilla kernel or the pi fork and it's rpi-5.14.y branch?
btw once your kernel build fails, you can just re-run make and it will skip already built parts and gets you all the errors, no need to scroll though initial build log, glory of the incremental build systems.
True on both accounts. And I'm building off the rip-5.14.y branch, though it's literally upstream, just usually a few days behind. No custom patches on it like the 5.10 branch.
@@JeffGeerling you should give arch Linux arm a try in combination with the upstream kernel, this should give you a more recent mesa stack
@Rishi R Debian ist great if you rely on stability (I like referring to it as "digital concrete"), arch is my preferred distro for up-to-date software versions though
I really respect this man , Keep uploading!

мужик, обожаю твои видео, так рад что начинает получаться с amd, успехов тебе, буду наблюдать и плюсовать)
do this IO board have some special pcie slot? normal x1 slot can provide just 25W max...
Oops, you're right! PCI Express 'normal' x16 can supply 75W. High power x1 can do up to 25W.
Is the graphics card able to run only getting 25W from the pi? Can the pi even supply 25W? I know the card also receives power also from the 8 pin and 6 pin connectors, but could it be dependant on getting those first 75W from the PCI? I guess I'm saying, maybe it will be mandatory to have a powered PCI riser, because the one in the video doesn't look powered.
@@weekendtech I would guess that AMD adheres to the PCIe spec and only draws 25w when it detects the x1 connection. The fact that the fans spun up is a good indicator that the 6700 thinks thinks are ok; I've yet to meet a GPU card that did anything at all when given insufficient power sources (other than angry LED flash patterns). Jeff might want to put an ammeter on the power leads to the Pi and see if it the number is reasonable...
@@weekendtech It’s kind of annoying how there’s no real answer for this question yet, I always think the same thing but with rack servers and pci cards
Usually that kind of errors happen when there is missing a required kernel feature or component, but there is a bug in config generator that don't notice your or autoselect that required feature so you must guess which one is by yourself
That bug would be in the config description files provided with the module or base kernel.
Very interesting, Jeff. Thank for the video.
Nice video, that is some really some cool stuff in there, I always wondered if Pi did anything really? Looks like a fun project. Holy mother of god that looks like a headache twister storm of massive proportions....have fun buddy...lol
Note: an alternative to sshfs to copy the files across is to set up sshd on the pi as shown, then use the scp command for copying between machines.
It's a matter of taste which you prefer.
I would say that scp or sftp is way better if you're just copying over a couple files, but sshfs is great if you want to interact with several files, like edit one here, copy over that there, etc
Or rsync :)

Thank you Jeff for all the work you've put into the Pi and creating invaluable resources and pleasant videos to watch!
I started this year with Raspberry Pi. That means I google a a lot of stuff related to the Pi and Linux generally.
It has become something regular to see questions asked and answered by Jeff online. I really enjoy seeing the same questions I have being asked by the person who in my eyes is one the most knowledgeable on raspberry and programming in general. It really motivates me to look for solutions and try new things out in ways not done before and learning by trial and error.
I am far from one of the most knowledgeable, I just am lucky to be able to share the little bits of knowledge I have more widely :)

Hey Jeff, have you thought about using manjaro for your testing, they have newer linux kernels being arch based and might show different results.
Yes I've been waiting for this!
Your videos and I have spent so many lunch breaks together 😁😁😁
That compile error could be fixed with one line of C, it just needs to declare the function before it tries to call it. This might indicate a larger issue, but at worst it will move the error into the linker stage.
Speaking of Rage 128, I really wish somebody could get full AGP acceleration in Linux, on the old iMac G3's, which use the Rage 128.
PC component manufacturer ASRock makes a series of industrial SoC boards they call 4x4 (because they are (just a tiny bit over) four inches by four inches). Their most recent line includes the 4x4-4800U which has an 8-core Ryzen 7 on board, can handle up to 64 GB of DDR4, and has a 4x m.2 (M) slot. The Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards are typically 4 3/4 inches in height and average 10 inches in length. I mention all of this in case someone with way more money than me thinks "entire system built onto a video card backplate as the ultimate SSF" is an intriguing idea.

There's some news, but I need a little more time to brush it up in video form :)
The recent interest in Linux GPU support on non-x86 platforms has done wonders for my 16-year-old PowerMac G5 Quad running Gentoo. I stuck an HD 5450 in it a long while back just because I had it laying around and while FB console has worked on it for many years, it's now (as of about a month ago) pretty much fully functional beside some console spew about unsupported texture formats and runs Gnome really nicely. I had been tempted to try a newer AMD GPU with HDMI 2.0 so I can run my UHD monitors at full resolution, but obviously current GPU pricing makes buying even a low end one as an experiment a bit futile.
"The first step is getting it unboxed."
SUCCESS!

Happy PC user here but a client wants me to launch something on apple and I am going to need to shop for a new one. Since I only plan to use the mac for the final compile of xcode for a mobile app, I was hoping maybe you had some suggestions on what would be able to handle the load without spending to much for a computer I won't otherwise use.
Oh no! Don’t leave me on the cliffhanger, I want to see if it works
no cliffhanger, it does not work, alot of work has to be done before it works and might never work, not if pi5 comes the next march, and so many rumors about it, and might make things easier on pi5
don't hold your breath, and don't forget that it is a 1x pci express 2 connector, that means that even a gt 1030 can saturate it, so, gaming will not be great on the current soc
And there's a small chance it'll work on the current Pis, but even so the changes required to make that happen likely wouldn't get merged into mainline Linux, therefore any fix would have to be applied manually. No problem for me but that kinda makes it harder to use more widely.
@@arch1107 Unless something has changed since the last interview I read with a rep from the Pi Foundation ... a couple of months ago? Last month? ... there is no current plan to produce a Pi 5 at this time. That means a Compute Module 5 is scheduled for a time of: indeterminate + later than the Pi 5b.
Not that they never will, but at the moment they can't meet demand for Pi 4b and Compute Module 4, and trying to bring a Pi 5 to market during a chip shortage would make that even worse.
From the interview, it was suggested that when the Pi 5 IS spec'd and manufactured, it will include 2.5Gbps Ethernet on board, but I got the sense that the hardware specs aren't locked yet, as the Pi Foundation is still focused on the Pi 4 platform. There was a suggestion in the article of a Pi 4a to replace the Pi 3a.
I'm excited about the idea of faster Ethernet, but the current CPU and onboard bus on the Pi 4b also can't come close to saturating the 5Gbps max speed USB 3.0 is supposed to have, as it is. (The most I've ever gotten from an hdparm test on an external USB 3 SSD is 330 MB/s, or 2.64 Gbps). But more than that, the Pi 5b needs to do SOMETHING about the USB 3 power issues. I'm still running into issues with (1) certain external USB 3.0 SSDs not being able to be stably bus-powered, when each is using the same enclosure; and (2) the second USB 3.0 port being unusable when virtually anything that's both self-powered and remotely interesting being plugged into the first USB 3.0 port. If you try to use both USB 3.0 ports at once with, e.g., an SSD and an external 2.5Gbps ethernet adapter, you're more than likely to crash the Pi, if it even boots.
The obvious solution is to get a powered USB 3.0 hub to take the stress off the Pi's power delivery system, but if you get the wrong powered hub, it won't work, and if you get the recommended hub, like I did, it STILL won't work sometimes--my Pi refuses to boot at all with a powered USB hub plugged in and turned on, even though it's the hub that's recommended for use with the Pi.
The 4b is the first version of the Pi that's genuinely powerful enough to arguably work as a primary daily use general computer replacement, but the internal power delivery system makes actually plugging interesting things into it too much of a pain. I'd rather see a revision 2.0 of the 4b board with a redesigned and beefier power delivery system than a version 5.
And if version 5 DID get released without a beefier power delivery system, I'd not consider it as a worthwhile upgrade.
20:47 - oh, that chuckle in the background is cute :3
Clearly she understands the pain.

It could use the card with the generic drivers. You just need to force it to display on the generic display instead of the Pi display port. Kind of how you would do it with a displayless mining card.
