How to enable GPU folding using Ryzen 7 4700U?
Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2020 2:01 pm

Dear forum members,
I am struggling to continue folding on my new laptop using LinuxMint 20.04 LTS, fresh install.
I had the following issues, which I solved or worked around:
1.) Builtin GPU was not detected (with preinstalled standard linux kernel 5.4)
2.) "Phython2"-issue dependency (worked around by using remote-webcontrol from other computer) as described here:
viewtopic.php?f=108&t=35707
So I
* upgraded to latest mainline linux kernel (now on 5.7.8)
* installed oibaf-ppa for latest graphic drivers
* made a git-clone for "/lib/firmware" to have latest amd firmware
I can see now finally see a built-in GPU card. However it wrongly identifies as "Ryzen 4900HS" card in my webcontrol.
Furthermore it still refuses to get utilized due to missing / wrong OpenCL setting.
Before I had an NVIDIA card and used CUDA, but, if I understood well, for AMD I need some other drivers (ROCm or OpenCL)
Please give me a hint as to how to enable OpenCL for by AMD Ryzen Mobile 4700U, as this seems to be a final prerequisite for me to continue GPU-folding.
My current impression is, that there is no proprietary linux driver available on the AMD website for this (yet).
https://www.amd.com/de/support/apu/amd- ... en-7-4700u
Question:
1.) How to make sure the GPU is recognized as what it really is (and not something else)?
2.) How to install an opensource driver (if existing) in the absence of a AMD proprietary driver?
Any help/advice highly appreciated.
