AI Program Development

AI Program Development for Rockchip platform mainly has two stages:

  • AI Model Transfer.
  • Program Development.

We provide PC tools (rknn-toolkit2) to do "AI Model Transfer" and provide "AI API (rknpu2)" and "Qt/Gcc toolchain" to develop AI applications.

Gcc toolchain can be gotton from released image.

Qt toolchain can be gotton from Advantech WIKI.

To get more details about RKNN C API from "rknpu2/doc/Rockchip_RKNPU_UserGuide_RKNN_API_V*.ptf"

To get more details about RKNN Python API from "rknn-toolkit2/rknn_toolkit_lite2/docs/Rockchip_UserGuide_RKNN_Toolkit_Lite2_V*.ptf"

RKNN SDK

RKNN SDK （Baidu Password: a887）include two parts:

  • rknn-toolkit2
  • rknpu2 
├── rknn-toolkit2
│   ├── doc
│   ├── examples
│   ├── packages
│   └── rknn_toolkit_lite2
└── rknpu2
    ├── doc
    ├── examples
    └── runtime

rknpu2

'rknpu2' include documents (rknpu2/doc) and examples (rknpu2/examples) to help to fast develop AI applications using rknn model(*.rknn).

Other models (eg:Caffe、TensorFlow etc) can be translated to rknn model through 'rknn-toolkit2'.

RKNN API Library file librknnrt.so and header file rknn_api.h can be found in rknpu2/runtime.

Released BSP and images have already included NPU driver and runtime libraries.

Here are two examples built in released images:

rknn-toolkit2

Tool Introduction

RKNN-Toolkit2 is a development kit that provides users with model conversion, inference and performance evaluation on PC platforms. Users can easily complete the following functions through the Python interface provided by the tool:

  1. Model conversion: support to convert Caffe / TensorFlow / TensorFlow Lite / ONNX / Darknet / PyTorch model to RKNN model, support RKNN model import/export, which can be used on Rockchip NPU platform later.
  2. Quantization: support to convert float model to quantization model, currently support quantized methods including asymmetric quantization (asymmetric_quantized-8). and support hybrid quantization.
  3. Model inference: Able to simulate NPU to run RKNN model on PC and get the inference result. This tool can also distribute the RKNN model to the specified NPU device to run, and get the inference results.
  4. Performance & Memory evaluation: distribute the RKNN model to the specified NPU device to run, and evaluate the model performance and memory consumption in the actual device.
  5. Quantitative error analysis: This function will give the Euclidean or cosine distance of each layer of inference results before and after the model is quantized. This can be used to analyze how quantitative error occurs, and provide ideas for improving the accuracy of quantitative models.
  6. Model encryption: Use the specified encryption method to encrypt the RKNN model as a whole.

Installation

Create virtualenv environment. If there are multiple versions of the Python environment in the system, it is recommended to use virtualenv to manage the Python environment. Take Python3.6 for example:

  • Install virtualenv 、Python3.6 and pip3 
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip
  • Install dependencies 
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libglib2.0-0 libsm6 libgl1-mesa-glx libprotobuf-dev gcc
  • Install requirements_cp36-*.txt 
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv 
source venv/bin/activate 
sed -i 's|bfloat16==|#bfloat16==|g' rknn-toolkit2/doc/requirements_cp36-*.txt
pip3 install -r rknn-toolkit2/doc/requirements_cp36-*.txt
sed -i 's|#bfloat16==|bfloat16==|g' rknn-toolkit2/doc/requirements_cp36-*.txt
pip3 install -r rknn-toolkit2/doc/requirements_cp36-*.txt
  • Install RKNN-Toolkit2 
pip3 install rknn-toolkit2/packages/rknn_toolkit2*cp36*.whl
  • Check whether RKNN-Toolkit2 install successfully，press ctrl+d to exit 
python3 
>>> from rknn.api import RKNN 
>>>

If install successfully, there is no error information.

Here is one of the failed informations: 

>>> from rknn.api import RKNN 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>"，line 1，in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'rknn'

Model Conversion Demo

Here gives an example to show how to convert tflite model(mobilenet_v1_1.0_224.tflite) to RKNN model (mobilenet_v1.rknn) ON PC. 

cd rknn-toolkit2/examples/tflite/mobilenet_v1
