Radeon 5xx status registers

[bralston7]

I'm working on an embedded system with a radeon graphics card and was hoping a developer would be willing to share some information with me. I'd like to know specifically what status registers gpu-z reads to get overall GPU usage and clock/mem speed for the radeon 500 series cards.

Thanks,
Ben

So you are telling me that gpu-z just uses the ADL library api? There's no source code for any of the stuff in there, so that doesn't do me any good. Thanks for replying though.

It may be easier to use pyADL. Have you given that a try? It uses the ADL library.

GPU-Z uses other methods too, for your project ADL should be the easiest solution?

No I have an embedded system running a proprietary operating system. I can not use the linux or windows ADL binaries. I was just hoping somebody might share what gnu-z is doing if is indeed polling the status registers on the card itself.
