> considering that AMD officially stopped updating drivers for Vega GPUs which are still being sold in products today(!) This happens waaaaaaay to often in hw/embedded :(. My experience in embedded is that usually you have two teams: lead "next-gen" product team, working from the prototype to the first shipping release where things start to barely work. This is then moved to "support" team, which will try to punch and kick things around with half the required knowledge until it's somewhat usable. But as soon as the product cycle shifts to new gen hw with a different codebase, you're out of luck. The dynamics in this are not so simple, but the net result is that you frequently end up with product still being produced/sold where you effectively only get tech support at best, without real fixes (hw/sw).
