Description
This PR adds Linux NPU discovery through sysfs accel devices
Currently,
DeviceDiscovery::DiscoverDevicesForPlatform()on Linux discovers CPU and GPU devices, but NPU discovery is still missing. As a result, plugin execution providers that filter devices byOrtHardwareDeviceType_NPUdo not receive any NPU hardware devices on Linux, even when the NPU is present and exposed by the kernel.This change scans
/sys/class/accelforaccelNdevices and createsOrtHardwareDeviceentries with:type = OrtHardwareDeviceType_NPUvendor_iddevice_idaccel_idxmetadatapci_bus_idmetadata when availableThis enables Linux systems with NPUs exposed through the accel subsystem, such as AMD Ryzen AI / XDNA devices, to be reported through ORT device discovery and made available to plugin EP factories.
Changes
/sys/class/accel.accel_idxandpci_bus_id.DeviceDiscovery::DiscoverDevicesForPlatform().kSysfsAccelPathconstant for the Linux accel sysfs path.Motivation
Linux plugin EPs that target NPUs rely on ORT passing
OrtHardwareDeviceType_NPUdevices intoGetSupportedDevices(). Without Linux NPU discovery, those EPs cannot claim NPU devices and provider selection policies such asPREFER_NPUsilently fall back to CPU.Fixes #28660.
