AMD OpenVX installation

AMD OpenVX is built as part of the top-level MIVisionX CMake project. Build MIVisionX to produce libopenvx.so and libvxu.so.

Prerequisites

• CPU: AMD64

• GPU: AMD Radeon Graphics [optional]

  • Windows: install the latest AMD drivers and the OpenCL SDK

  • Linux: install the ROCm Core SDK (ROCm 7.13 or later)

Refer to openvx/include/VX for the Khronos OpenVX standard headers and to openvx/include/vx_ext_amd.h for AMD vendor extensions.

Note

The AMD GPU HIP backend is not supported on Windows. On Windows the default backend is OpenCL.

Build

Build from the MIVisionX repository root. Optionally install OpenCV to enable RunVX camera capture and image display (set OpenCV_DIR to the OpenCV/build folder).

git clone https://github.com/ROCm/MIVisionX.git
cd MIVisionX
cmake -B build               # HIP backend (default on Linux); add -DBACKEND=OCL for OpenCL, -DGPU_SUPPORT=OFF for CPU
cmake --build build --config Release
sudo cmake --install build
