Disclaimer : what I did concerns 4.15.0 kernel only, on Intel machine (Assus Zenbook pro, x86_64, model: UX410UAR)
Hello, Sorry for coming late, but I had the same issue some days ago (never tested before):something like Guc not loading, while Huc did. Of course I hit this page, and some other without find a complete solution. **But** after one day searching, I finaly make it work (!!) , and I'll try to explain what I did (I do not recommend to do the same, but I'll attach a patch (under MIT license, or whatever you need, just ask). The problems: 1. when you download the kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin blob from Intel site, looks like the downloaded file is an .xml file in fact, but not a binary at all. Maybe the site has an issue ? (sorry, not a website specialist) // Can someone verify btw ? 2. IIRC Intel made kbl_guc_ver9_xy.bin for Kabylake, and I simply tried to make the kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin work. Important: I found kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin blob there : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/ What I did : - I extracted kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin from linux-firmware_1.178_all.deb, and put it in /lib/firmware/i915 After that, I downloaded the most recent 4.15.0 kernel sources (on my LinuxMint 18.3) : => apt-get source linux-source-4.15.0 provided : Réception de :1 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (dsc) [6 511 B] Réception de :2 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (tar) [158 MB] After I downloaded the sources, I copied initrd.img-4.15.0-34-generic as .config in the kernel tree, and I simply patched the following files (in drivers/gpu/drm/i915 : - intel_guc_fw.c - intel_uc.c Comments : - In the first one, I simply modified the binary version (changing KBL_FW_MINOR from 14 to 39) - In the second one, I followed Robert M. Fosha advice (link : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10877903/), allowing to avoind timeout and retry when trying to load the blob => see the attached patch. For the record, my current /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf contains : ```` options i915 enable_fbc=1 fastboot=1 enable_guc_loading=1 enable_guc_submission=1 ```` Next step was to build the kernel, the Debian way (using make -j8 deb-pkg), and after installing the debs, I got everything working at the end, including the 9_34 version of kbl_guc blob :-) : ```` me@MyMachine ~ $ dmesg | grep i915 [ 2.018994] i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem [ 2.019493] [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (v1.1) [ 2.031452] [drm] HuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin (version 2.0) [ 2.041847] [drm] GuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin (version 9.39) [ 2.058753] i915 0000:00:02.0: GuC submission enabled (firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin [version 9.39]) [ 2.059299] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20171023 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 [ 2.519645] i915 0000:00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [ 9.408643] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) ```` Conclusion : we can use kbl_guc_ver9_34 with 4.1.5.x kernel.
