Nouveau on a RISC-V SBC with Tesla K80? Supposed to not work or yes?

I don't think anyone was ever able to get their hands on a K80 to
confirm. It's a different ID than the GK110 (0xf0) / GK110B (0xf1). I
believe it's referred to as a GK210, but not sure if that's just a
marketing thing or if it's actually different.

You can try copying the 0xf1 entry in devinit and seeing what happens.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/base.c#n3284

i.e. just add "case 0xf2: device->chip = &nvf1_chipset; break;"

However it does seem somewhat likely there would be additional
differences, so I wouldn't be extremely surprised if it didn't come up
without at least some extracted firmware (which we've never done for
that chipset).

Cheers,

But nouveau reports unknown chipset when attempting to load drivers onto the GPUs. Maybe it doesn't have the configuration for a Tesla K80 after all?
