Embedded C++ Example#

Introduction#

On an embedded Linux distribution such as Yocto, applications need to be cross-compiled on a host and copied to the target system.

Before starting with this example, please follow driver/runtime install Method 3 and Hardware Setup.

Note

The default settings in CMakeLists.txt is for ARM v8 platforms. Please modify it according to your build target.

  1. Edit example_c/CMakeLists.txt according to your embedded system (ARM v7, ARM v8 or x86-64):

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc)                # modify this according to your build target (local build or cross-compile)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER aarch64-linux-gnu-g++)              # modify this according to your build target (local build or cross-compile)

link_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../udriver/arm_64) # modify this according to your build target

  1. Compile the sample code:

cd example_c
mkdir build
cd build && cmake ..
make

  1. Copy the generated output folder (including cross-compiled executable files and DFP) from your build host to your embedded system. The generated output folder structure will be like:

output
  ├── bin
  │    ├── pipeline_inference_rgb888
  │    └── simple_inference_rgb888
  │
  └── model
       └── ssd_mobilenet_v1_10_cascadex4_rgb888.dfp

  1. Finally, on the embedded system, run the sample application to benchmark the performance of our compiled ssd-mobilenet v1 model with the MXA:

cd output/bin
./pipeline_inference_rgb888
