Can I use amuasm to read in an IL file and generate a ISA suitable for reading into calImageRead?

I'm looking for a tool to assemble IL into GPU-specific code that I can later pass to calImageRead, resulting in a CALimage.

The "help" on amuasm shows:

  textfile containing asm ascii source

Is this GPU-specific assembly or intermediate assembly (i.e., IL)? I assume since you can pass a stream processor target on the command line, amuasm an accept IL files.

Obviously, it is easy enough to use calclCompiler, calclLink, and calImageWrite to do the same thing, but if I can make use of amuasm I'd rather go that route to generate kernels offline.

Thanks.

Does anyone use amuasm? Can it accept IL code as input or only ASIC specific code?

I'd like to generate (offline only, not at runtime) a buffer suitable for use with calImageRead. It seems like amuasm should work for this purpose.

Can anyone from AMD confirm this? I can't test this myself at the moment since CAL does not work across RDP.

I tried to use amuasm to compile IL code and I got a compilation error, so no, I don't think it works with IL just assembly.

I think the "target" is to fill the hardware parameters that the header/footer ISA must use, this is though just an assumption.
