[Software] Install OpenCL and Syntax

[abbatrombone]

Hello,

I am trying to get openCL on my system in order to try and resolve an issue with a program of mine not seeing my GPU and had heard that might resolve the issue. I came across this website: Debian Open CL I went to the amd64 link at the bottom amd64 link and saw it mentioned "You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm main "

I dont full understand what this means. At first i thought it might be similar to how Wine gets installed where in one of the steps you do

Code: Select all

wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

but that didn't seem correct. I tried

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install boinc-client-opencl

to see if the package manager would be able to grab it or find any dependancy's that the app might need. It tells me the package is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

What do i need to do install opencl?

i tried running a command for open CL

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install amd-libopencl1

and found out that one doesn't exist but this one does ocl-icd-opencl-dev:i386 ocl-icd-opencl-dev

I was able to get that running and got the sudo update command to work as well it did resolve my issue though.

Does anyone know of better drivers for their AMD systtem?

After giving up for a little bit, i finally found the log file that suggests I do not have OpenCL for my issue. I am running DaVinci Resolve and got the file to download through make resolve deb. The file is located in ~/local/share/DavinciResolve/logs
and is called resolve_graphics_log.txt with the following text

It looks like it isnt seeing any AMD drivers but can detect my CPU. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
