 So far, AMD does not yet officially support Debian in ROCm. Only RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu are supported in ROCM 5.7.1. On the Debian side there is a team working on providing support in the next release.

 However, one can install ROCm on Debian Bookworm using the amdgpu-install tool for Ubuntu.

wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/5.7.1/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_5.7.50701-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_5.7.50701-1_all.deb

 Then one can install rocm step-by-step. 

Kernel Driver

First install the amdgpu kernel dkms:

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=dkms

 If a custom kernel is used, this will not directly work, because only kernel up to 6.2 are suupported. Otherwise exclude the custom kernels with:

BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL=”^(6.[0-2]..*|5..*)”

in /etc/dkms/amdgpu.conf

ROCm

 ROCm only supports Python 3.10, unfortunately this is no longer available in Debian Bookworm. However python3.10 can be installed from Debian Sid.

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python3.10/python3.10_3.10.13-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i python3.10_3.10.13-1_amd64.deb

Then install ROCm

sudo amdgpu-install –usecase=rocm

 Check the install with:

rocminfo
