What is difference between eIQ and eIQ neural NPU?

nnxxpp — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 09:50:02 GMT

My question is same as the title.

As my understanding, eIQ is software where we can train model, convert model (to tflite fro example) and visualize it. Before I traing Tensorflow model and convert to tflite model (not using eIQ) and deploy on MIMXRT board. Can I use this model to deploy on MCXN947 with NPU mode? Is there any special things to develop tensorflow lite model for MCXN947 with NPU mode?

Hi @nnxxpp

When you need to deploy it on MCXN947, you need to convert TensorFlow lite for Neutron using convert tool.

You can refer to it.

Thank you. I could convert to NPU Tflite. I see that th output model is also .tflite model with custom operators NeutronGraph. How can I evaluate this NPU tflite model on PC with Python?

Do you have any guide? I known that NeutronGraph is the custom operator and we need have its implementation to use in Python.
