17 Emerge this package : "sys-kernel/linux-firmware"
18
19 You can find the blobs in : /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/
20
21 If you already have "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" emerged and the blobs
22 aren't showing, un-merge it, and the re-emerge it.

26 Gentoo does have the newer microcode blobs stashed on a server (
27 somewhere ).
28
29 That does pull in the blobs for :
30
31 Fam10h ( microcode_amd.bin )
32
33 Fam15h ( microcode_amd_fam15h.bin )
34
35 Fam16h ( microcode_amd_fam16h.bin )
36
37 Fam17h ( microcode_amd_fam17h.bin )
38
39 .

41 If you have an AMDGPU and use the "amdgpu" driver, firmware will be here
42 : /lib/firmware/amdgpu
