Debian multi-version installation#

Caution

Ensure that the Redirecting… are met.

Registering ROCm repositories#

Package signing key#

Download and convert the package signing key.

# Make the directory if it doesn't exist yet.
# This location is recommended by the distribution maintainers.
sudo mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

# Download the key, convert the signing-key to a full
# keyring required by apt and store in the keyring directory
wget https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key -O - | \
gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg > /dev/null

Note

The GPG key may change; ensure it is updated when installing a new release. If the key signature verification fails while updating, re-add the key from the ROCm to the apt repository as mentioned above.

Installing#

Install kernel driver#

For information about the AMDGPU driver installation, see the Debian native installation in the AMD Instinct Data Center GPU Documentation.

For information about driver compatibility, see Redirecting….

Install ROCm#

Before proceeding with a multi-version ROCm installation, you must remove ROCm packages that were previously installed from a single-version installation to avoid conflicts.

# Note: There IS a trailing .0 in the patch version for packages
for ver in 7.2.4 7.2.0; do
    sudo apt install rocm$ver
done

Note

For versions earlier than ROCm 6.0.0, use rocm-hip-sdk instead of rocm (for example, rocm-hip-sdk5.7.1).
