jerome 05eccd5b53 chore: consolidate Syslog Solution code into unified repository structure
- Moved scattered scripts, templates, and documentation into organized directories (applications/, scripts/, assets/).
- Updated .gitignore to strictly exclude secrets, state files, and IDE configs.
- Added comprehensive README.md outlining repository structure and best practices.
- Preserved all existing documentation and technical architecture files.
- Prepared infrastructure/ for AWS Org and Proxmox Terraform management.

03 - AMD GPU Passthrough (Strix Halo) — Home

Purpose: Detailed AMD APU passthrough configuration for host LLM access.

Overview

This guide covers the complete setup for AMD Strix Halo GPU passthrough, enabling native LLM inference on AMD hardware.

What You'll Learn

  • Hardware preparation: Verify Strix Halo compatibility
  • BIOS configuration: Enable IOMMU and PCIe passthrough
  • Kernel configuration: Load VFIO modules properly
  • Proxmox setup: Configure GPU for VM passthrough
  • Driver installation: Vulkan, ROCm, HIP SDK integration
  • Qwen3.5-MoE setup: Configure for AMD GPU acceleration

Prerequisites

  • AMD Strix Halo APU with integrated Radeon graphics
  • Linux system kernel 5.4+ with IOMMU support
  • Proxmox VE 7.x or later
  • 16GB+ system RAM (8GB for APU graphics, 8GB for OS)
  • SSD storage for VM images

Quick Start

# Enable IOMMU in GRUB
# Edit /etc/default/grub, add:
# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amd_iommu=on iommu=pt"

# Update GRUB
update-grub

# Load VFIO modules
echo "vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/vfio.conf

# Blacklist Radeon in VM
modprobe -r radeon amdgpu

# Reboot to apply changes
reboot

  • [04 - Qwen3.5 Model Setup](../04\ -\ Qwen3.5\ Model\ Setup/) — Model deployment

Essential for running Qwen3.5-MoE locally on AMD hardware with Vulkan backend acceleration.
