The rocm package is not available yet. It might be available in the future.

thanks head_on_a_stick,

have to retract my previous post, it seems to function actually,
the polars gets recognized "properly",

Platform #0: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
 `-- Device #0: gfx804

Thank you very much!

EDIT: it "seems" to function, probably, is still better wording. don§t think that pulling a 29,2 MB .deb of a 685 MB Archive is capable of doing it the proper way as it supposed, but for some usecases it might be OK.

sorry, but i find the information confusioning,

i any case, it seems that i would not need the "rocm" package as the graphics card installed is older (polaris)

https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/e … cript.html

    ROCr: Provides support for Vega 10 and newer hardware.

    Legacy: Provides support for hardware older than Vega 10.
        (Proprietary, requires EULA acceptance)

Thanks, do i need to upgrade from Devuan 4.0 to Devan 5.0 to get this package / Hardware accelleration?

Look out for a rocm package in the unstable branch, as per the last post in my linked thread.

Hello,

head_on_a_Stick,

thanks for the effort,
but its not functioning.

let§s hope someone brillian come up with an one-liner to install the amdgpu-pro driver (with --opencl=legacy) also for debian/devuan.

Read the warning at the top of your linked page. I do not recommend that method because it replaces the entire graphics stack — the PRO drivers are only useful for OpenCL, they perform worse then the open source version for everything else.

See https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4688 & https://gitlab.com/BCMM/amdgpu-opencl-on-debian for a way to install the OpenCL part of the PRO drivers so you don't ruin performance for other applications but be aware that it might wreck your system.

Hello,

i have seen this post here

https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2

and am wondering if there is possibility to install the latest AMD GPU-PRO Drivers also on Devuan 4.0 running Kernel 5.x.

Thank you.
