Does amdgpu and radeon drivers exist on platforms like armhf and arm64 for single board computers with PCI-Express slots?

I'm asking if they exist because I wouldn't think they'd have the graphics driver for a non x86 or x86_64 computer

    Both drivers are for AMD graphics. Why would they "exist" for hardware that isn't AMD? I suspect your actual question is about something else. What's the problem you're trying to solve? Please [edit] the question instead of replying in comments. –  Aug 31 '18 at 02:23

    @GabrielaGarcia: What do you mean, "hardware that isn't AMD"? It seems that OP is asking specifically about AMD video cards. (Just because the CPU architecture isn't x86 **does not** mean that it cannot have a PCI bus, allowing this was actually part of the PCI design.) – u1686_grawity Aug 31 '18 at 04:29

    If you have links to or the exact brand/model of affordable ARM motherboards with PCIe slots (plural), I would be very interested, because I've been looking for those for some time. – dirkt Aug 31 '18 at 06:10

The 'amdgpu' and 'radeon' drivers are part of the Linux kernel. DRM_AMDGPU on the Linux kernel declares only dependencies on DRM && PCI && MMU; this implies that it is supported on any architecture that has PCI.

Arch Linux ARM includes both 'amdgpu' and 'radeon' drivers in their AArch64 kernel (although not their other armvX kernels).
