Back in March AMD announced the open-source ROCDXG library for improved ROCm support on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). The ROCDXG-based solution provides better ROCm compatibility within these Linux confines atop Windows 11 compared to their prior, now-legacy-based WSL support. A new ROCDXG release now available further expands the ROCm WSL2 support to more Ryzen hardware.

The librocdxg 1.2 release was issued this morning with the main feature being expanding support to more Ryzen hardware. AMD GFX11.0.3 and GFX11.5.2 integrated graphics are now officially supported.

AMD GFX11.0.3 includes the widely-used Radeon 780M integrated graphics across their various APUs. AMD GFX11.5.2 "RDNA 3.5" refresh is used for APUs like the lower-cost Krackan Point . Great seeing this ROCDXG library expanded to more consumer APUs/SoCs for those wanting to make use of the ROCm GPU compute / AI stack within Windows Subsystem for Linux. Though, yes, too bad it has taken this long and I long for the day of seeing better ROCm support on launch-day for all their consumer hardware.

More details on the new librocdxg 1.2 release via GitHub . This ROCDXG release comes just two days after the AMD ROcm 7.2.3 release with more updates and improved documentation for this open-source software stack.
