# System Debugging Guide

## ROCm Language and System Level Debug, Flags, and Environment Variables

Kernel options to avoid: the Ethernet port getting renamed every time you change graphics cards, `net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0`

## ROCr Error Code

- 2 Invalid Dimension

- 4 Invalid Group Memory

- 8 Invalid (or Null) Code

- 32 Invalid Format

- 64 Group is too large

- 128 Out of VGPRs

- 0x80000000 Debug Options

## Command to Dump Firmware Version and Get Linux Kernel Version

`sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/amdgpu_firmware_info`

`uname -a`

## Debug Flags

Debug messages when developing/debugging base ROCm driver. You could enable the printing from `libhsakmt.so` by setting an environment variable, `HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL`. Available debug levels are 3-7. The higher level you set, the more messages will print.

- `export HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL=3` : Only pr_err() prints.

- `export HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL=4` : pr_err() and pr_warn() print.

- `export HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL=5` : We currently do not implement “notice”. Setting to 5 is same as setting to 4.

- `export HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL=6` : pr_err(), pr_warn(), and pr_info print.

- `export HSAKMT_DEBUG_LEVEL=7` : Everything including pr_debug prints.

## ROCr Level Environment Variables for Debug

`HSA_ENABLE_SDMA=0`

`HSA_ENABLE_INTERRUPT=0`

`HSA_SVM_GUARD_PAGES=0`

`HSA_DISABLE_CACHE=1`

## Turn Off Page Retry on GFX9/Vega Devices

`sudo -s`

`echo 1 > /sys/module/amdkfd/parameters/noretry`

## HIP Environment Variables 3.x

### OpenCL Debug Flags

`AMD_OCL_WAIT_COMMAND=1 (0 = OFF, 1 = On)`

## PCIe-Debug
