AMDXDNA Driver For Ryzen AI Now Ready To Appear In The Linux Kernel
The AMDXDNA kernel driver for Linux systems that was made open-source in January for supporting the Ryzen AI NPU on laptop SoCs going back to the Ryzen 7040 'Phoenix' series is now one step away from appearing in the mainline Linux kernel in the near future.
But as drm-misc-next already has a variety of other non-AMDXDNA patches queuing, it doesn't look like they'll try a secondary pull of changes to DRM-Next in the coming days and to then squeeze into the current Linux 6.13 cycle. It's been a long journey for the AMDXDNA driver especially with the Ryzen AI NPUs appearing in notebooks now for nearly two years, but nevertheless it's open-source and finally ready for the mainline kernel. Whether that AMD Unified AI Software Stack brings a new user-space solution or just layers atop say the IREE plug-in remains to be seen.
