This broke things for me, oddly enough it's showing a lower OpenCL version than the previous version did (2.0 vs 2.1). The driver version doesn't list PAL anymore either which I thought it did before. This one shows - 3188.4 (HSA1.1,LC) where as the 20.40 PAL driver shows 3180.7 (PAL,HSAIL).
Something changed AMDs side, or a change of build process here?
The last version of this package to work on Polaris GPUs is 19.50-5. ROCm officially dropped support for Polaris anyway.
@Recompiler ROCm packages are included in the tarball download. Also, the documentation says that PAL has been replaced by ROCm or something like that, so... idk
@sperg512 Where on AMDs webpage for amdgpupro does it say it includes ROCm?
@sperg512 @Recompiler ok, so slighly contradicting answers, but in the end it does not matter too much. We will see in the long run which implementation becomes more popular. For the record, and as I have mentioned in the comments at rocm-opencl-runtime, one can add the arch4edu repo and get pre-built binaries of ROCm, without the need to compile. This would allow for faster comparison.
@coxackie This package (opencl-amd) only has the amdgpupro package from AMDs website. It's not connected to ROCm.
ROCm is officially on Github located here https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm
The difference between the two is complicated but you can just say that the amdgpupro stack is the proprietary on by AMD while ROCm is the open source one. They're being worked on separately. Kinda like proprietary Java vs OpenJDK.
@coxackie This is providing ROCm, which is basically the newer version of PAL. So yes
I am a bit confused with this ROCm talk. Let me ask: is this package providing the Pal version? and rocm-opencl-runtime the ROCm one? Or is this one also providing ROCm, but proprietary, as opposed to open-source?
My bad. I don't know why I said this packages amdgpupro with rocm (had to double check myself). What I meant is that opencl from the amdgpupro driver is pretty much worthless imo. I really do think rocm is going to succeed it in every way.
So the equivalent of my setup on Gentoo for y'all would be to install mesa and rocm -> https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rocm-opencl-runtime/ (or compile it manually like I did). Try that without the amdgpupro stuff and see how it goes. Get the other guy that had issues with amdgpupro to try it too.
Yup, that's what this PKGDESC says. I don't really know anything else that would work better, because like I said, this is a graphics driver on an unsupported Linux distribution. Shit's gonna go wrong.
Maybe if I wrote some strongly worded emails to AMD then they could actually distribute an Arch package. Anyone else volunteer?

Note for anyone who has a Polaris GPU (Radeon RX 5xx) debugging issues with this package; Packages that use OpenCL like clinfo or davinci-resolve-studio will need you to downgrade opencl-amd to 1:5.7.1-1 as well as amdgpu-pro-oglp to 23.10_1620044-1 to avoid coredumps & segfaults.
DVR would not open unless these 2 packages were downgraded (along with their dependencies). Had to figure it out the hard way after hours using valgrind and rebooting over and over. Hopefully someone else will not have to pull their hair out trying to resolve their issue.

Current release is for ROCm 6.3.2
opencl-amdpackage includes only OpenCL / HIP runtime. You also need to use opencl-amd-dev package for ROCm LLVM compiler, OpenCL and HIP SDK. Please relog / reboot after installing so your PATH gets updatedThere are now official packages available: rocm-opencl-sdk for OpenCL and rocm-hip-sdk for HIP - You might have better luck with these packages depending on your GPU.
