Warning

Support for using AMD compute devices/GPUs is removed due to low usage and OpenCL stability issues in the drivers. It is possible to opt in to run the SDK with an unsupported compute device, by enabling an option in the Config.yml file. However, such a setup may give unexpected results and errors, and is not tested by Zivid.
