RadeonHD for Amiga OS 4.x - Mode Setting for the Radeon HD 2400 Pro

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

A generous donor gave me a Diamond Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI graphics card. This card uses the RV610 chipset and is, thus, one generation ahead of the Radeon x1300 that was used during initial development. After plugging the new graphics card into the Amigaone, I have successfully opened a screen on this new card. This required a small set of changes to the code. Since development of this driver relies heavily on the open-source RadeonHD driver for Linux (the documentation alone is not enough), I had already added most of the code specific to driving R6xx cards prior to receiving actual hardware.

At present, I still do not have access to the Picasso96 Driver Development Kit (DDK). Without the DDK, a proper driver cannot be developed. For now, development continues within a test scaffold. Hopefully I will be hearing from the Amiga OS 4.x development team about the DDK soon.
