Emerge this package : "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" You can find the blobs in : /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/ If you already have "sys-kernel/linux-firmware" emerged and the blobs aren't showing, un-merge it, and the re-emerge it. . Gentoo does have the newer microcode blobs stashed on a server ( somewhere ). That does pull in the blobs for : Fam10h ( microcode_amd.bin ) Fam15h ( microcode_amd_fam15h.bin ) Fam16h ( microcode_amd_fam16h.bin ) Fam17h ( microcode_amd_fam17h.bin ) . If you have an AMDGPU and use the "amdgpu" driver, firmware will be here : /lib/firmware/amdgpu . Corbin
