Hi Sakura286,

I asked Anush Elangovan about how AMD would be handling non-x86architectures. The response was that while AMD is not officiallysupporting ROCm on riscv64, they'd be happy to accept patches. They'reonly testing on amd64, so it's possible they might make changes thatbreak riscv64. Still, if the community can keep it working, AMD is happyto have that development happening upstream in their ROCm repos.

With this in mind, I would encourage you to submit your patchesupstream. I will be trying to forward our patches for arm64 and ppc64elupstream as well. Of course, what I said before about Debian beingwilling to accept patches remains unchanged. We will accept patches fornon-x86 architectures here too.


Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
