No, the driver is able to init the card regardless of whether the vbios has
been posted or not.
<span class="quote">> This is on kernel 4.4.52 (latest kernel supported by the board; could try

Here's the problem:
<span class="quote">> [Wed Jul 12 14:01:10 2017] [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=512M, BAR=0M</span >
There is no PCI BAR for frame buffer access. I'm guessing your pcie bridge does
not have a large enough aperture for the frame buffer BAR. It's generally
256MB.
The driver can't work without access to vram.
Please attach your full dmesg output.</pre>
