[AMD Official Use Only - General] Hi Pau,
You will likely need root access to rip the BIOS from a real GPU. If you have that, I posted my notes below. Keep in mind the PCI ids might be different: “ You can find devices with ROM using `find /sys/devices -name rom` For example, my MI210 is PCI device 83:00: sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:01.1/0000:81:00.0/0000:82:00.0/0000:83:00.0/rom' sudo cat /sys/devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:01.1/0000:81:00.0/0000:82:00.0/0000:83:00.0/rom > test.rom sudo bash -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:01.1/0000:81:00.0/0000:82:00.0/0000:83:00.0/rom' “ In terms of the BIOS causing issues, I am not sure. If you are running into issues associated with the gfx version, a hacky workaround is to use the following environment variable within gem5 to masquerade as another device, which might be worth a try. For example: export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION="9.0.2" -Matt From: Pau Galindo Figuerola <pau.galindo.figuer...@estudiantat.upc.edu> Sent: Friday, April 26, 2024 10:44 AM To: Poremba, Matthew <matthew.pore...@amd.com> Cc: The gem5 Users mailing list <gem5-users@gem5.org> Subject: Re: [gem5-users] GCN3 Full System Caution: This message originated from an External Source.

Hi Matt, I'm still working on it but I've decided to shift the project towards modeling the AMD V1605B which has vega architecture. I've the real AMD V1605B device and I'm wondering how could I rip the BIOS from it. Do you have an idea on how to do it? I build a custom image with a custom ROCm driver from Bruhnspace and I suspect that it is now working because them are intendet to work for the gtx902 gpu, which is the one V1605B has. Do you think it has something to do with the fact that the BIOS provided in the gem5 repositories is not exactly that one from the V1605B? Thank you! Best Regards, Pau Missatge de Poremba, Matthew <matthew.pore...@amd.com<mailto:matthew.pore...@amd.com>> del dia dt., 19 de set. 2023 a les 16:29: [Public] Hi Pau, It’s probably not possible without a lot of set up, but I have found that GPUs that are “not supported” sometimes still work anyway with certain compute stacks. You would probably need to: * Find a BIOS for a GCN3 GPU or rip it from a real GPU – This is so the driver loads so *at least* this is required * The GPU must be a dGPU or you would need to write an IOMMU model in gem5 to use an APU * You *may* need to use an older software stack – These could be hard to find pre-packaged anymore and might require building from source * May need to rewrite applications with older software stack API – Dependent on previous step This will certainly not be easy, even if possible. Out of curiosity, which parts of GCN3 are you interested in that are different from Vega or Vega does not have? -Matt From: Pau Galindo Figuerola via gem5-users <gem5-users@gem5.org<mailto:gem5-users@gem5.org>> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 4:02 AM To: gem5-users@gem5.org<mailto:gem5-users@gem5.org> Cc: Pau Galindo Figuerola <pau.galindo.figuer...@estudiantat.upc.edu<mailto:pau.galindo.figuer...@estudiantat.upc.edu>> Subject: [gem5-users] GCN3 Full System Caution: This message originated from an External Source.

In case it is what would it require? Thank you. Regards, Pau
