Please, can you help me, I’m trying to link up my ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SOLID OC 32GB, with ZimaBoard 2, in the web gui of ZimaOS+v1.5.4, I can see “NVIDIA Corporation Device 2b85 (rev a1)” - but when running nvidia-smi via terminal - I get no devices found 
Pls help me !
Hello Brother,
I would to ask whether you have powered the graphic card via a separate psu or you have directly connected the graphic card to the board with any psu?
In case if you have connected the gpu directly to the motherboard and didn’t provide power to the graphic card via a psu, the voltage from the motherboard may not be enough for the card to activate, so it might not be recognised. As RTX5090 OC is quite a power hungry graphic card.
If you have connected external power to the gpu and still cannot find the card, try checking for drivers
command that you can try :
modinfo nvidia | grep version
If its a non hardware configuration issue, IceWhale (ZimaOS developers) has released a specific standalone driver package for RTX 50-series GPUs. You can attempt to install it via SSH with these commands:
sudo -i
cd /var/lib/extensions/
wget https://github.com/jerrykuku/staff/releases/download/v0.1.3/nvidia-open-kernel-580.105.08-linux-6.12.25.raw -O nvidia-open-kernel-580.105.08-linux-6.12.25.raw
systemd-sysext refresh
install-nvidia-kernel-open
the above version of the driver is 580 and the latest version of the driver is 590 released by the nvidia. If the above driver 580 driver works out, you can try out 590 driver. you can get the 590 version driver in the nvidia offical site.
note : 580 version of doesn’t mean that it belongs to the rtx5080 cards or 590 doesn’t mean it belongs to rtx5090, they are just the version numbers of the driver.
Wish this resolves the issue, if not you can reply to this message. I would reply back at the earliest possible to me.
