Description and Notes

The Radeon RX 6500 XT is a low-end graphics card supported by the open source amdgpu driver in the Linux Kernel.

It requires a 16x PCIe card slot. You will need to supply power to the card directly through a 1x8-Pin PCIe power cable.

amdgpu (open source) driver

To get the amdgpu driver loaded, you have to recompile the Linux kernel for Pi OS.

Go to Device Drivers > Graphics support on the menuconfig step, and select the amdgpu driver to install.

Also make sure you have the AMD firmware installed (sudo apt install -y firmware-amd-graphics) or the driver will complain about missing files.

On the Pi 5, we have tested both Coreforge’s Pi OS Linux GPU support branch and the simpler 15-line patch from yanghaku, and both offer full functionality.

See the linked GitHub issue for more details.
