AI Discussions

Hello,

I am looking forward to receiving my Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro and trying out Ryzen AI.

I have a few questions:

- When is Linux support expected to ship? Is there already any repository where one can track the Linux Kernel driver implementation?

- Will it be possible to develop and run custom IPU binaries? What workflow is intended for that, and is there any relevant documentation I can read?

Thanks!

Ryzen AI SW platform supports Windows only. Linux support is to be discussed. No timeline yet. 

Custom IPU binary is not supported.

web pages are probably most important viewed area for the future.

Also following this. It will be great to get better AMD AI acceleration on the Desktop, even better when it is on an open platform so work I do can scale up to server deployments as well.

Hi @fruitycoder 
Have you checked out the ML training page on Radeon GPUs? https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/ml-radeon.html

Great questions! A lot of us in the community are also eager to see stronger Linux support for Ryzen AI, especially as more devices like the IdeaPad 5 Pro start shipping with supported hardware.

• As of now, there hasn’t been an official timeline shared for full Linux support, but AMD did provide some initial functionality with Ryzen AI Software 1.4. Hopefully, updates for 1.5 will follow soon. It’d be great if they also opened up a public tracker or GitHub repo for the Linux kernel driver.

• Regarding custom IPU binaries — that’s something I’m curious about too. If AMD plans to allow low-level development and deployment on the IPU, that could open up a lot of possibilities. Some early devs have mentioned interest in this, but I haven’t seen any official documentation yet. Fingers crossed it’s in the roadmap!
