AMD XDNA Linux Kernel Driver For Ryzen AI Updated


At the start of the year AMD posted an open-source XDNA Linux driver to GitHub for supporting the Ryzen API NPU IP found within their newest Ryzen mobile SoCs

It wasn't until last month though in mid-July that AMD began the process of submitting the driver for review so that it can work its way toward the mainline Linux kernel within the "accel" accelerator subsystem. So far the AMDXDNA Linux kernel driver has open-source user-space software supporting it of the Xilinx XRT and AMD AIE Plugin for IREE. The Linux 6.12 merge window opens in September but the stable release won't be out until around late November, which sadly puts AMDXDNA out of reach for the likes of Ubuntu 24.10 for having out-of-the-box Ryzen AI NPU support.
