AMD Publishes GC 11.5.2 Firmware For Upcoming RDNA3.5 Hardware


AMD today committed their GC 11.5.2 firmware to the upstream linux-firmware.git for the necessary firmware binary blobs needed for hardware initialization by their open-source AMDGPU kernel graphics driver with this newer RDNA3.5 variant.

AMD today committed their GC 11.5.2 firmware to the upstream linux-firmware.git for the necessary firmware binary blobs needed for hardware initialization by their open-source AMDGPU kernel graphics driver with this newer RDNA3.5 variant. Thus when paired with the latest Linux kernel and Mesa support, the open-source Linux driver support for GC 11.5.2 hardware will be good-to-go (barring any quirks or last minute issues with production hardware relative to the driver state). This made it a struggle to get it packaged up and shipped by major Linux distributions ahead of launch and without these files the open-source driver cannot function.
