Register kernel-mode driver#

This step is the same as previously described, follow the steps in Register kernel-mode driver.

for ver in 6.1.1 6.1.0; do
sudo tee --append /etc/zypp/repos.d/rocm.repo <<EOF
[ROCm-$ver]
name=ROCm$ver
baseurl=https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/zyp/$ver/main
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key
EOF
done

sudo zypper ref

Installing#

Install kernel driver.

sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys install amdgpu-dkms
sudo reboot

Install ROCm packages.

for ver in 6.1.1 6.1.0; do
    sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys install rocm$ver
done

Complete the Post-installation instructions.

Upgrading#

To upgrade an existing ROCm installation to a newer version, follow the steps in Registering ROCm repositories and Installing.

Note

Upgrading the kernel driver may also upgrade the GPU firmware, which requires a system reboot to take effect.
