AMD Instinct MI350X Series Microcode Upstreamed - Other AMD GPUs See Updates Too
A number of AMD firmware/microcode updates were upstreamed today to the linux-firmware.git repository, including introducing the AMD Instinct MI350 series files that are necessary for the open-source Linux compute driver stack to function for those newly-announced Instinct accelerators.
Nothing too exciting from those updates that I can tell without any change-log but is typically just small bug fixes that are pulled in with these microcode files from the Radeon Software driver releases. But what is notable is now adding in the microcode files needed for the open-source AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver stack to initialize the new AMD Instinct MI350X and MI355X accelerators. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
