Vladimir Smirnov, a Google Switzerland Site Reliability Engineer, recently published an update saying that he was able to make the Arc A750 GPU work on his new Arm build that runs Linux, which certainly isn't a certified solution. Smirnov is building an ARM server running an Ampera Altra Arm chip. He bought the motherboard and processor together on Newegg and tested the system with various GPUs—an RX 550, RX 5700, and Intel Arc A750—while waiting for the rest of the parts of his build to arrive. Smirnov is sharing the details of his build on Medium.
The RX 550 worked on the system with no issues, and despite its age, the AMD GPU worked straight out of the box without further programming. On the other hand, the RX 5700 refuses to work with an Ampera Altra chip and a Linux OS. Nevertheless, several Linux Distros have already issued patches for the problem, so all he needed to do was follow instructions.
