* Package name : amd-aie-rt Version : 2026.1.1 * URL : https://github.com/Xilinx/aie-rt * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C/C++ Description : AMD AI Engine runtime components (driver and FAL) AIE-RT (AI Engine Run Time) is an open-source software component by AMD (formerly Xilinx) that combines low-level drivers and a functional abstraction layer (FAL) to manage and access AI Engine (AIE) hardware resources The AIE Driver is a userspace library that provides hardware access to applications, while the AIE FAL is functional abstraction layer that provides common userspace APIs for runtime AIE resource management. This package is required to enable support for additional features inside the xrt package. As it's directly related to xrt and similar AMD/Xilinx packages, it should probably go under the umbrella of xilinx-packages-team. I hope to be able to co-maintain it with the people in that team.

Packages Team.
The Debian NEW review of amd-aie-rt 2026.1.1+dfsg-1 has been completed.
Decision: ACCEPTED
Reviewer: Andrew McMillan
Review comment:
Hi,
Some of these issues that the LLM review came up with seem kind of extreme - like you wouldn't have been able to build and upload - but perhaps they're real, and you managed to build from a dirty local tree and would fail from a clean one.
They're not copyright issues, so I'll accept it in this case because if they are real you'll be wanting to fix these pretty soon I guess!
1. [blocker] [packaging] libxaiefal-dev has nothing to install: dh_install will abort
- Files: `debian/libxaiefal-dev.install`, `fal/src/CMakeLists.txt`, `fal/CMakeLists.txt`
- Evidence: debian/libxaiefal-dev.install contains only `usr/include/xaiefal/`; the effective branch of fal/src/CMakeLists.txt (YOCTO=OFF) only does `file(COPY ... DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/include/xaiefal)` and has no install() rule (the only header install() is in the unused else()/YOCTO branch); nothing else in the fal tree installs the fal headers.
- Problem: No CMake install() rule or rules-file copy ever creates usr/include/xaiefal, so dh_install finds no files in the current directory or in debian/tmp and aborts the arch build (`dh_install: error: cannot find usr/include/xaiefal/`). Even if it did not abort, libxaiefal-dev would be empty, so the header-only FAL would be unusable by its declared dependents.
- Fix: Point the install source at the build-tree copy, e.g. `obj-${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE}/include/xaiefal usr/include/`, or add an upstream install(DIRECTORY ...) for the fal headers (non-YOCTO branch) and keep `usr/include/xaiefal/`. Verify with a clean `debian/rules binary`.
2. [blocker] [packaging] versal-linux toolchain forces aarch64-linux-gnu compilers that are not in Build-Depends
- Files: `debian/rules`, `debian/control`, `fal/cmake/platforms/versal-linux.cmake`, `fal/cmake/platforms/cross-linux-g++.cmake`
- Evidence: debian/rules passes `-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=versal-linux`; versal-linux.cmake sets `CROSS_PREFIX=aarch64-linux-gnu-` and `include(cross-linux-g++)`, which sets `CMAKE_C_COMPILER=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc` and `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=aarch64-linux-gnu-g++`.
- Problem: CMake will try to run aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc/g++ (also used by the ExternalProject driver build via CC=${CC}) and fails configuration when the cross compiler is absent; Build-Depends lists only cmake, cpputest, liburing-dev, pkgconf and no gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu/g++-aarch64-linux-gnu, so a clean pbuilder/salsa arm64 chroot cannot configure. The toolchain file effectively assumes a cross build even though the package is native-arm64.
- Fix: Either add gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu and g++-aarch64-linux-gnu to Build-Depends (and confirm the resulting binaries link against the native arm64 runtime, given CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_* are NEVER), or drop -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=versal-linux and build natively on arm64.
3. [minor] [packaging] No autopkgtests
- Files: `debian/tests/control`
- Evidence: There is no debian/tests/ directory; the package builds unit-test binaries (run-test-aie, via WITH_TESTS=ON) but never wires them into the test harness.
- Problem: The unit-test binaries are built but not exercised in any automated way, so CI/autopkgtest regressions in the library API go undetected (tests do need arm64 Versal hardware, but could at least be smoke-run).
- Fix: Add a debian/tests/control that smoke-runs the built unit tests and examples (or drop WITH_TESTS=ON if the tests are only built, not run).
4. [minor] [packaging] driver/tests/utest CMake still references the excluded elf_files directory
- Files: `driver/tests/utest/CMakeLists.txt:18`
- Evidence: `file(COPY elf_files DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})` runs unconditionally when the driver's own CMake project is configured, but driver/tests/utest/elf_files is listed in Files-Excluded and absent from the tree.
- Problem: Configuring the upstream driver/ CMake (the upstream way to build the unit tests) fails at configure time. The Debian build avoids this because it builds the driver via Makefile.Linux through fal's ExternalProject, so it is latent rather than a current build failure.
- Fix: Guard the copy with `if (EXISTS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/elf_files)` or restore a minimal fixture, so the exclusion does not break upstream's own test build.
5. [minor] [packaging] debian/watch is in the old version 4 format
- Files: `debian/watch`
- Evidence: `version=4`
- Problem: Version 5 is the current format of `debian/watch`.
- Fix: Convert it to version 5; a mechanical conversion is included below.
