I’m trying to work with the NPU on linux but running ‘xrt-smi examine’ shows zero devices found. Is there a bios setting I’m not seeing that needs to be changed to enable the NPU?
I see the NPU in lspci, the firmware in /dev/firmware/amdnpu along with /dev/accel.
Have you had a look a this - GitHub - In2infinity/tuxedo-amd-npu-driver: World's first AMD NPU driver for TUXEDO laptops - Enable AI acceleration on Linux ?
(mentioned in another thread here - Status of AMD NPU Support )
Yeah, I was trying to use their .deb release package when I was getting the errors.
I’ve gotten it to work now at least with Ubuntu 25.10 by compiling it from source and switching to root before running xrt-smi. Just using sudo clobbers environment variables and Ubuntu doesn’t seem to allow ‘sudo -E’.
I’d like to express my thanks to you for the add’l info. It’s all too common for someone to write “got it working” and end it at that lol. But no insight as to how. You did. So someone else – like me – has some idea of how to as well. thnx!
