AMD XDNA Linux Driver Updated As It Nears The Upstream Kernel

[chithanh]

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The drivers for AMD's enterprise GPUs are open source and available as both an out-of-tree kernel module and upstreamed into linux itself.

I am referring to AMD enterprise hardware. One prime example is the Google Stadia Workstation Development Node, that was produced by Lenovo for a while before Stadia shut down. It is loaded front to back with proprietary code from AMD. If you manage to snag one off eBay, be sure to preserve all software and drivers that are on it, because if you wipe it you will never get that back.

Also MxGPU is a sore point. You can download GIM drivers which support up to the FirePro S7150, but anything newer like the Radeon V340 or V620 is unsupported by them and only by non-public drivers. Questions about that on AMD community forums go unanswered.

My understanding is that the place to report kernel bugs is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues. Although, it is true that it may still be difficult to get attention on your issue.

There are multiple places to report Linux driver bugs. One is on freedesktop.org, others are against GitHub ROCm, for example. But your software doesn't work you need to have a precise bug report or it will get ignored until your hardware ages out of ROCm support and then the bug will be closed. And the AMD community forums are unhelpful in isolating the issue because nobody there is able and willing.

It’s almost like the Ryzen AI thing was pure marketing buzz and no one actually goes to AMD for AI.

instead of terrible xdna, amd should just use cdna cores without fp64 and fp32 circuit as npu
