Content Type: Compatibility   |   Article ID: 000093369   |   Last Reviewed: 03/10/2026

Environment

System with processor AMD Ryzen 5

Description

  • Ran OpenVINO™ inference on AMD Ryzen CPU.
  • Received error message: libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name (null)

Resolution

Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit is officially supported on Intel® hardware platforms. AMD Ryzen* CPUs are not validated or supported.

On non‑Intel platforms, OpenVINO™ applications may fail during initialization of acceleration components (for example, VAAPI/video or GPU-related components), which can result in errors such as:
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name (null)

Running OpenVINO™ inference on unsupported hardware is not recommended, and behavior may vary depending on system configuration.
