Remarks

USB Controller is not able to be passed to sys-usb.
Audio does not work neither and cannot be passed to a sys-audio (same error).
If you leave USB controllers in dom0, they seem to work.

Some questions just in case you know the answers:

  1. Does audio work if you leave it in dom0?
  2. Do external screens via USB-C work? If so, did you have to install proprietary drivers to make it work?

For your first question, the internal audio does not work. I did not yet investigate on this as my other problem is of more importance for me. You cannot make a PCI passthrough of the internal audio device to a sys-audio qubes, as the PCI device has the same issue as the usb controller. I did not test the audio devices coming with the nvidia graphic card.

For your second question, from memory (I cannot test it right now), I think it worked with an USB-C to DisplayPort adapter. And this was with a standard installation and the nouveau driver.

@Bloged seems to have found a very interesting first step in the correction under this HCL https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/aistone-x6ar57ty-aka-tongfang-x6-16-intel-high-end-performance/37944

Hi!

Some updates on that HCL.

With the last version of the BIOS (1.29), here are my results:

  • sys-usb issue I described is solved by @Bloged patch
  • Audio is working when you install alsa-sof-firmware from Fedora 43 (with --nodepsoption) in dom0 and also linux-firmware
  • Webcam does not seems to work even with kernel 6.19 (I did not search too much about this issue as I don’t use a webcam)
  • Network, both wired and wireless are working well
  • External screen: with the drivers i915 and nouveau (so the default installation), only the left side USB-C connector works.

I hope this will help some people!

Hi @bertrand (and @Bloged )…

I have seen several threads where you mention the patch from @Bloged

Am I correct that it is (apparently) a failure to recognise a secondary PCI root device?

If it is a general problem, then maybe it could be useful to change the title of your issue report so that it better describes the underlying problem.

Also to link to any other forum posts where it is diagnosed to be the same issue. It could make it more visible.

I did not find another issue that mentions such problem of root at 0x80, or any other… but I am not sure I am searching for correct terms, and I do not really understand the matter.

It is correct that currently it fails to correctly identify the secondary PCI root device; this current implementation is hacky but seem to work on multiple systems.

The problem is that it wasn’t a pre-defined plan to tackle this problem in this way therefor the information now is spread over multiple topics and/or posts. But feel free to write a community guide that explain how to do this in detail and in one central place.

Kind regards, Bloged
