I’ve yet to find a clean way of doing this with sifives ubuntu, I’ll get back to this thread when I do or maybe eswin or sifive will mention a solution
Hi Vixea,
Can you please mention which version of ubuntu you are using for this ? Please help me with release number and also your reproduction steps in details.
Thanks.
Ubuntu primier-10 yes I know it has the breaks mesa bit but I would love to keep a backup kernel that I know works.
Hi Vixea,
I’m still not clear with your version details. Kindly help me with below questions.
- How you are trying to upgrade mesa drivers (steps)?
- Give me version details using below steps.
1.Kernel version - $ uname -a
2. PVR DDK version - $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/pvr/version - Try to do full upgrade using below command and verify. This will upgrade all the packages to latest version.
1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt upgrade - By default imagination GPU is selected, If user wants to switch to external GPU. Follow the instruction from latest release note Release 2025.02.00 · sifiveinc/hifive-premier-p550-ubuntu · GitHub. Kindly use this release for your test.
Thanks.

With the onboard IMG(driver) disabled.

The version of mesa is 22.3.5 as in the ppa, I would like to be able to use 24.3 which is in the main repository
Oh and well for upgrading mesa I don’t have the exact command on hand but it looks something like
sudo apt install mesa=upstream-ubuntu-version
The problem being is it likes to remove everything and the backup kernel which is the release you provide in the ppa
