HSA Platforms & Installation
Target versions should support AMD's HSA driver set and user-mode libraries, but have not been verified and are not officially supported. Extensive testing of the HSA software stack has been performed on the Tested Version.
| Characteristic | Target Version | Tested Version | dmidecode key |
| Operating Systems | Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) & Fedora 21 | Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) & Fedora 21 | |
| Mother board | Any ASUS A88X with FM2+ socket | ASUS A88X-PRO with FM2+ socket | baseboard-product-name |
| APU | Any AMD 7000 series APU | AMD A10-7850 APU with Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics | processor-version |
| System BIOS | Latest version available* | 0904 or greater | bios-version |
*Note that some System BIOS versions may not support HSA topology information, and will not support HSA device detection.
Use the dmidecode command with the -s option and the appropriate key to determine the targeted platform characteristic. For example 'dmidecode -s bios-version' will display the current system bios.
In addition to the above requirements, no discrete GPU can be installed in the system.
Installation of the HSA software stack on a target platform consists of the following steps:
- Check the target platform's characteristics to determine if the target platform is a valid HSA platform.
- Enable IOMMU in the system BIOS settings. This can usually be found in the Advanced\ CPU Configuration > IOMMU field of the UEFI BIOS Utility.
- Install and configure the kernel supporting the Linux HSA drivers and image, available in the HSA-Drivers-Linux-AMD repository. Installation and configuration instructions can be found in the projects README. Be sure to verify driver installation by running the kfd_check_installation.sh script, available in the package.
- After rebooting the system, obtain the HSA runtime and header files from the HSA-Runtime-AMD repository. Installation and configuration instructions can be found in the projects README.
- Verify the compatibility of the HSA Runtime and the HSA drivers by running the vector-copy sample provided with the HSA Runtime.
