VIM3

about 6 to 8 fps, pls see the link

@rvelloso 125ms for one reasoning.

Frank,

Thanks for the reply. Another question: is the board compatible with this darknet model: csresnext50-panet-spp-original-optimal - https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet.

Iā€™m asking because it is about 30% smaller than yolov3 (100 GFLOPS vs 141 GFLOPS), so it should run at about 7-10fps - I think, and reported mAP is higher (according to the readme).

Thanks.

45

Most probably not
unless Khadas releases the model.
So I have only ported yolov3 weights from original darknet.

@rvelloso We will have more plans about NPU in the future, which can be included in our consideration .Our recent plans are full. If we are going to be compatible with more Yolo models, we will solicit your needs in the forum.

[ 1] Failed to open device: No such file or directory, Try againā€¦

So both are VERY Great Way to get started :frowning:

50

@RKroells Which one firmware you use ?

51

Ubuntu V20200530 + full-upgrade ā€¦ did manage to get and other the other newer images to run stable :frowning:

52

I donā€™t understand the meaning of this ā€¦

53

Iā€™d rather get the NPU to work , but your 2 guides dont work.

54

So please provide more informations. What image you used??

55

Upgrade guidance:

Based on image V0.9-20200530 9.

khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo apt update
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
khadas@Khadas:~$ sync
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo reboot

56

After upgrade please provide cat /etc/fenix-release & uname -a output.

57

[16:42:39] root@Khadas:/# cat /etc/fenix-release & uname -a
