A Linux kernel component KMS driver (the display controller driver) A libDRM user-space component (a wrapper library for DRM system calls, which should only be used by Mesa 3D) A Mesa 3D user-space component. This component is hardware-specific; it is executed on the CPU and translates OpenGL commands, for example, into machine code for the GPU.
Installation instructions are provided for Linux and Windows in the official AMD ROCm documentation. ROCm software is currently spread across several public GitHub repositories. Within the main public meta-repository , there is an XML manifest for each official release: using git-repo , a version control tool built on top of Git , is the ...

Freedreno is the Driver for Adreno Hardware and near OpenGL 3.3 support. 2nd version of 2018 is 18.1 and available since May. Target is Vulkan 1.1.72 in Intel ANV and AMD RADV driver.
As of July 2014, other operating systems are not officially supported. This may be different for the AMD FirePro brand, which is based on identical hardware but features OpenGL-certified graphics device drivers. AMD Catalyst supports of course all features advertised for the Radeon brand. The Radeon HD 3000 series has been transitioned to ...
One of these interfaces is then used by end-user software, like GStreamer or HandBrake (HandBrake rejected VCE support in December 2016, [48] but added it in December 2018 [49]), to access the VCE hardware and make use of it. AMD's proprietary device driver AMD Catalyst is available for multiple operating systems and support for VCE was added ...
