Did you try to get in touch with the people currently maintaining them?
One year old RC bugs with patch provided seem like a bad sign.
Not yet. I will do that soon.

I reached out to Punit and Nobuhiro in September, but have not heard back from them. I suppose I should try again. Or maybe just open a pull request with an updated package.

I'm mostly interested in these libraries because they are the user space components needed to make use of the XDNA NPUs in AMD's Phoenix, Hawk Point and Strix Point CPUs. The AMD XDNA driver is being upstreamed [1], and if all goes smoothly it will probably land in Linux 6.13.

The driver was just recently merged [2]. It is expected be included in Linux 6.14.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
