I'm writing this reply on a machine using a Picasso (3400G in my case).

When I got this machine I used SystemRescueCD to bring it up. That was running some version of 4.19 and it tried to load the ati driver, although it did not support the chipset. When I removed the ati driver to try to force it to use amdgpu the version of amdgpu on the rescue image appeared to be too old, i.e. it did not know about Picasso (or perhaps the kernel was the real problem). In my case I downloaded a newer kernel (early 5.0 onwards associate Picasso with amdgpu). So, I recommend that you use a 5.4 (i.e. stable series) or later kernel and ensure you have all the picasso firmware in amdgpu (I don't use an initrd, so I have all 11 picasso*.bin files in /lib/firmware/amdgpu and my kernel has CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU as a module so it initally boots using (from memory) to 80x25, then during the boot the screen blanks and eventually with comes back with much smaller text - I use CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22=y to get text which is easier to read on a 1920x1080 screen. I don't use debian, but I guess you could try using the kernel, amdgpu and latest amdgpu firmware from debian testing (firmware will be in nonfree I suppose). ĸen -- When alle is ſayed and all is done, ye must chooſe your faces wisely, for soon enouff ye will be playing with fyre."
