Linux Walled Garden

Hi,

Is the another way to install the NPU driver? i applied for "Ryzen AI Software Early Access Lounge", have NOT heard anything back yet, and its been over 2 months now.

Thanks

Johnny

You can install the drivers and firmware from https://github.com/amd/xdna-driver , but they are useless without RyzenAI SW

[johnnytshi]

i tried that, was able to run the passthrough test, and that worked, but then when i did a simple matrix multiplication, it never returned

what did you mean by "useless without RyzenAI SW"?

[johnnytshi]

so the bottom line problem is missing onnxruntime-vitisai, which is behind the access request

[AbelVM]

And, even so, that walled package is incomplete/faulty, as many people have already reported

Ryzen AI for linux is not available for general access release. The documentation and download links will be made available with the public release.

[johnnytshi]

can you at least share a timeline? we brought the device, now we can't use the hardware.

The NPU takes such a big portion of the die area, yet, right now, its wasted silicon
