How to install intel UHD-600 series GPU driver on UBUNTU

 

To detect the graphics hardware in your system, use this command

$ lshw -c video

You can also use this command

$ lspci -k | grep -EA3 ‘VGA|3D|Display’

See an example listed below of the output. In the example, the graphics controller is HD Graphics 500

The intel Graphic card UHD-605 , cpu is intel j4105 to test.

Building

For Ubuntu 16.04+

apt install autoconf libtool libdrm-dev xorg xorg-dev openbox libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev

Equivalents for other distributions should work.

1. Build and install libva from https://github.com/intel/libva
2. Build and install gmmlib from https://github.com/intel/gmmlib
3. Get media repo and format the workspace folder as below (suggest the workspace to be a dedicated one for media driver build):

<workspace>
    |- media-driver

4. Create build_media new folder under your workspace

$ mkdir <workspace>/build_media

then the workspace looks like below

<workspace>
    |- media-driver
    |- build_media

$ cd <workspace>/build_media  

$ cmake ../media-driver

$ make -j"$(nproc)"

Install

$ sudo make install

This will install the following files (e.g. on Ubuntu):

-- Installing: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
-- Installing: /etc/profile.d/intel-media.sh
-- Installing: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/igfxcmrt64.so

For iHD_drv_video.so please export related LIBVA environment variables.

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=<path-contains-iHD_drv_video.so>
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

for example:

you can put this 2 export line in  ~/.bashrc

$nano ~/.bashrc

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
