TDA3XEVM: Buildning the Vision SDK TIDL Model Import Tool on Linux

Hi,

Please refer to below thread for building the import tool on Linux,

Thanks,

The thread that you linked comes to the conclusion that it is possible to build the import tool as a 32-bit application which is not what I asked about so allow me to clarify. Will you fix the Linux build of the import tool, so that if I for example upgrade my Vision SDK version, I do not have to fix it myself again as I have already done with a  64-bit build of the import tool.

Hi,

Why do you need to add  'dlpack.h' header file here? 

Thanks,

The build failed on an `#include "dlpack.h"` in the file 'tidl_import.h'. In that file there is a start to support the Relay IR, but the related function have not yet been implemented in the Vision SDK. However, to be able to build cleanly without modifying what gets built, the file 'dlpack.h' needs to be available. I only added it because it wasn't already available.

Hi,

Okay. Understand your problem now, this problem comes only for Linux build so we did not face this issue in the VSDK builds.

This import tool also shared with Proc-SDK , in which this support for Relay IR is added and in their build the file dlpack.h is from TVM which is available in Proc-SDK’s Yocto build environment. 

Thanks,

Praveen

Good, so the next release of the Vision SDK will contain a model import tool that I can build on my Linux machine if I decide to upgrade my version in the future?
