Updated AMD ISP4 Driver For Linux Benefits The HP ZBook Ultra G1a, Future Ryzen Laptops
AMD engineers today posted the second iteration of their AMD ISP4 Linux kernel driver, which is for supporting the web-camera with the high-end Strix Halo powered HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop and presumably many AMD Ryzen laptops in the future.
Right now that means out-of-the-box the web camera on the HP ZBook Ultra G1a doesn't work with the upstream Linux kernel until the ISP4 driver and related patches land in the mainline kernel in the coming months... Hopefully it will be buttoned up around the end of the calendar year so that Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and others will feature a nice out-of-the-box experience. With today's AMD ISP4 v2 Linux driver patches there is a fix for some media subsystem continuous integration (CI) test errors/warnings and some other minor code changes. Here's to hoping all of the bits get tidied up and merged this year for helping the HP ZBook Ultra G1a and future AMD Linux laptops with their web camera support.
