AMD has published the RDNA 4m firmware binaries to the linux-firmware.git repository, providing the open-source driver with the needed firmware for the upcoming GPU.
This firmware drop is a prerequisite for the open-source AMDGPU driver to support the upcoming RDNA 4m hardware. It signals that AMD is preparing the driver stack for launch, allowing engineers to integrate the firmware into their kernels early. The availability of firmware before hardware launch is a common step in enabling new GPUs on Linux.
