Hi Hugo,
You would have to do at least the step you mentioned. As a first step that should be enough to "see" the device (with lspci for example). If you want to actually use the device though, I suspect you will have to build the ROCk kernel driver and ROCm software stack completely from scratch. I suspect there may be some issues related to the different endianness of the ARM host even after all that effort though.

Hello,
I trust this email finds you well.
I am reaching out to you with a question regarding the GPUFS example, specifically the VEGA10 instance. I am interested in pursuing a full system emulation that involves ARM architecture in conjunction with GPUFS. Specifically, I'm wondering if it's possible to replace "makeLinuxX86System" with "makeLinuxARM."
While I understand that this may not be a straightforward process, any insights, or tips you can provide would be immensely valuable to me.
Thank you for taking the time to review my question. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Hugo
