Intel today released a new version of their NPU Linux driver user-space components that interface with the upstream IVPU kernel driver.
Intel engineers today published the NPU Driver 1.24 release with updated firmware and other seemingly mostly routine updates:
* Updated Level Zero to v1.24.2
* Updated vpux_elf submodule to ad07093
* Updated compiler to npu_ud_2025_38_rc1
* New Firmware binaries
* New driver and umd-test changes
There was no further insight into the other “new driver changes”.
The Intel NPU Linux Driver 1.24 release is officially validated on Core Ultra Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, and Lunar Lake SoCs. Those wanting the updated Intel NPU Linux user-space driver components can find the new release on GitHub.
