Ansible Role: amdgpu_firmware

This Ansible role installs missing firmware for the amdgpu graphics driver on my AMD Lenovo Thinkpad (L14).

When it runs

This role only runs on systems with AMD processors:

when:
  - ansible_processor[1] == 'AuthenticAMD'

What it does

• It downloads firmware files defined in the amdgpu__firmware variable.
• It then updates the initial RAM filesystem with the command update-initramfs -k all -u.

You can change the names of the downloaded firmware files by adjusting the default variables.

Optional Version Check

You can choose to perform a simple version check to avoid accidentally using an older version of this role.
