Yes, AFAIK Vega M is not (yet?) supported by amdkfd. Also ROCm is mostly
developed/tested for more powerful hardware so I would not hold my breath for
Vega M support.
Of course, yes, but I live in hope and I'd like to get familiar
with ROCm!
Anyway I'm happy to test packages with my Polaris card but I have to admit I
don't feel "knowledgeable" enough to review a more complex package like
"hcc".
Probably it would help just doing the normal review process (except actually
running the binary).
Either way it's hard to properly test something like this.
I think the focus needs to be primarily on packaging so that we
can help upstream along by simply making it available.
That obviously implies developing a relationship with upstream
which is often lacking in distributions with many packages (for
obvious reasons).
