Thanks.

Unfortunately, neither xf86-video-amdgpu nor linux-firmware seem to be available. meta-amd certainly doesn't have them, and  xf86-video-amdgpu is only in a newer branch of meta-oe than the one I'm currently using.

xf86-video-ati is available and I already use it - it doesn't accelerate OpenGL or video decoding, unfortunately.

Regarding meta-amd, its FEATURES.md suggests that it doesn't support any multimedia features on any of its targeted machines. I'm left wondering what it does support...

Any other suggestions? Or ideas why the mesa recipe doesn't want to build the radeonsi driver even though the version I'm building (21.2.4) seems to include it?

Thanks,

Hello,

I asked this on the meta-amd mailing list but got no response.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be added to an image if I want to enable accelerated video decoding and display on commodity (PC) AMD hardware?

The image is currently running Xorg and, at least on Intel hardware, is capable of accelerated decoding and display using VAAPI and OpenGL. The user application uses gstreamer for decoding and display.

I don’t have any direct experience, but a search for “Radeon” on layerindex gives some hints:

https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/recipes/?q=Radeon

So you probably want xf86-video-amdgpu and linux-firmware-amdgpu.
