Linux/AM5749: TIDL simulation tool

Hi Manisha,

Thank you for quick reply,

Please tell me where is the .out file or source to be executed in the PC environment in Processor-SDK.

./tidl_model_import.out
./eve_test_dl_algo.out

Please find below steps to use build your application for host emulation. This need visual studio. 

Host emulation build for source package

The source release of TIDL module can be built in host emulation mode. This option speeds up development and validation time by running the platform code on x86/x64 PC.

Installing Visual Studio

Building host emulation for TI Deep Learning Library module requires Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 (2012) or later

Building source in host emulation

After installing the required components, navigate to TI Deep Learning Library install path and run vcvarsall.bat to setup the required environment variables

{TIDL_install_path} > {…\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat}

Once the environment variables are setup build the TI Deep Learning Library source in host emulation mode

{TIDL_install_path} > gmake CORE=eve TARGET_BUILD=debug TARGET_PLATFORM=PC

This will build the host emulation executable under the path

{TIDL_install_path}\test\out\eve_test_dl_algo.out.exe

TIDL_install_path} > gmake CORE=dsp TARGET_BUILD=debug TARGET_PLATFORM=PC

This will build the host emulation executable under the path

{TIDL_install_path}\test\out\dsp_test_dl_algo.out.exe

To build the example in host emulation mode for c6x DSP you will need to install the c6xsim which is available at

Install this package in the common folder

If you observe below error while building

linkage specification contradicts earlier specification for '_ti_rotl

Update below line in “c6xsim\C6xSimulator.h”

uint32 _rotl(uint32 a, int32 b);

to

uint32 _rotl(uint32 a, uint32 b);

Build with below setting (in “tidl_alg_int.h” file) to build the code to run the inference faster on emulation mode on PC.

#define ENABLE_TRACE_PROFILE (0)

#define ENABLE_REF_COMPARISION (0)

#define ENABLE_CN_CODE (1)

#define ENABLE_PRINTFS (0)

Note: The target code has to be built at least once before building HSOT emulation build. The target build generates few header files which would be needed for HSOT emulation build

Hi Manisha,

Thank you for quick reply.

I understand that you can build using visual studio.
Can these builds not be possible in make environment on linux PC?

Hi Manisha,

Thank you for quick reply.

I understand that there is no makefile for them.
Try it in visual studio referring to the procedure of your answer.
