Unable to use AMDGPU.jl on RX6600

I am trying to use AMDGPU.jl but it installs with several errors and does not work.

Operating Systems: Fedora and Endeavor OS
Julia version: 1.11.4 installed via the curl command on the Julia website

Then i tried allocating a ROCArray:

Is it because my GPU RX6600 is unsupported by ROCm right now? If so, is there a way to still use hacks to get it to run?

I am using this command in my .bashrc file to make AMDGPU work with a Ryzen 7840U CPU which is not officially supported:

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.2

A similar command might work for you.

Try:

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

See: Support for RX6600XT (gfx1032,navi23)? · Issue #1698 · ROCm/ROCm · GitHub

I used the following guide to install ROCm on my Linux distro:

Which also included adding

export HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0

now, AMDGPU.jl works on Arch. Thanks. It still does not work on Fedora though.

While the fix you suggested worked on my Arch linux installation after I installed ROCm from the ArchUserRepository (AUR). It did not work on my Fedora install even after I installed ROCm through the dnf package manager. Still looking for a fix there.
