I. Overview
CIFAR-10 : Alex Krizhevsky, University of Toronto The CIFAR-10 public dataset, and one of the most classic and commonly used entry-level benchmark datasets in computer vision, contains 60,000 32x32 color images (50,000 training, 10,000 testing) in 10 categories, such as airplanes, cars, birds, cats, and more.
tflm_cifar10 : Demonstrates how to run a CIFAR-10 image classification model in real-time on a microcontroller from NXP using the TensorFlow Lite Micro framework. That is, a pre-trained convolutional neural network model for the CIFAR-10 dataset is deployed to the MCU, giving it the ability to recognize 10 classes of common objects (airplanes, cars, birds, cats, etc.).
Model: a lightweight CNN model with 3 convolutional layers, ReLU activation layer, pooling layer and a fully connected layer.
Input: 32x32 pixel color image.
Output: probability that an image belongs to one of the 10 categories in CIFAR-10.
This document: provides the complete process of building for the CIFAR10 dataset, from the dataset, model training transformation, deployment of inference of the rapid implementation of the program, can be used as an example of the tflm_cifar10 (inference-based) front complement, this paper does not involve the deployment and optimization of the end-side.

VII. Conclusion
The purpose of this paper is to take a common image classification scenario (CIFAR10) as an example, so that readers can quickly understand the complete process from data building, model creation, training, inference and validation, which can be used as an example of the tflm_cifar10 (end-side inference-based) front complement, this paper does not involve the end-side deployment and optimization.
