Current stable radeon-ucode-20110302 contains Cayman (6900 series) microcode. Current unstable radeon-ucode-20110531 contains Llano (6400-6600 series Fusion APUs) microcode. Please add those firmware files to Code Listing 2.5.

In addition, please mention the linux-firmware package which contains all of the aforementioned files too. "...you will need to emerge radeon-ucode or linux-firmware"

Thanks, committed in CVS. This should show up on the site in an hour or so.

Comment 2 kahrl 2011-08-31 05:17:57 UTC

I tried this and the kernel build failed with the message

  MK_FW   firmware/CAYMAN_mc.bin.gen.S
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/lib/firmware/CAYMAN_mc.bin', needed by `firmware/CAYMAN_mc.bin.gen.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [firmware] Error 2

Shouldn't the CAYMAN files be prefixed with radeon/ like the others?

Indeed, you are right. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks. I've updated the guide in CVS (again ;-)
