The Radeon Pro W7700 was released in 2023 and is supported by the open source `amdgpu` driver in the Linux Kernel.
13+
14+
It requires a 16x PCIe card slot. You will need to supply 190W of power to the card directly through a 1x8-Pin PCIe power cable.
15+
16+
### `amdgpu` (open source) driver
17+
18+
To get the amdgpu driver loaded, you have to [recompile the Linux kernel for Pi OS](https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/tree/master/extras/cross-compile).
19+
20+
Go to `Device Drivers` > `Graphics support` on the `menuconfig` step, and select the `amdgpu` driver to install.
21+
22+
Also make sure you have the AMD firmware installed (`sudo apt install -y firmware-amd-graphics`) or the driver will complain about missing files.
23+
24+
On the Compute Module 4, it doesn't seem we can get `amdgpu` drivers to work with the Pi's PCIe bus.
25+
26+
On the Pi 5, we are still testing the card using a branch of Raspberry Pi's Linux kernel with GPU patches.

On the Compute Module 4, nobody has been able to get the `amdgpu` drivers to get far in their initialization stages. The Pi crashes due to PCIe bus memory allocation/mapping errors.

On the Pi 5, the system doesn't crash, but I get an error `*ERROR* hw_init of IP block <psp> failed -22`.

On the Pi 5, we are able to get full GPU graphics acceleration using Coreforge's [rpi-6.6.y-gpu](https://github.com/Coreforge/linux/tree/rpi-6.6.y-gpu) branch. If running Pi OS, you may have to restart `lightdm` after booting, otherwise it will default to the Pi's built-in GPU.
