AMD Ryzen AI 9 NPU Guide (Strix Point) on Debian 13

Complete guide to enable and use the integrated NPU on the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor (Slimbook EVO14 AI9) on Debian 13 trixie with the backports kernel.

What this NPU is and which driver handles it

The NPU (Neural Processing Unit) embedded in Ryzen AI CPUs is a dedicated AI inference accelerator built by AMD on the XDNA technology (originally Xilinx AIE). On Ryzen AI 9 (Strix Point) it is the AIE2+ generation with a 6×8 = 48-tile compute topology, capable of sustaining ~50 TOPS INT8 with much lower power than the integrated GPU.

The software stack has three pieces:
