Description
SoC RK3568 is equipped with 0.8TOPS NPU. This tutorial shows how to make the NPU run on ROCK 3 A, and provides an example and test results.
Hardware supported
- ROCK 3A
- ROCK 3B
- Radxa CM3 IO Board
- Radxa E23
- Radxa E25
Now follow me to make the NPU run.
Setup steps
Step 1: Get system image
You can get system image from ROCK 3 A System images.
Here we are concerned about the kernel version. Make sure that kernel is at least 4.19.193-25-rockchip.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock# uname -r 4.19.193-25-rockchip-g56fae2db273e
If not, try to upgrade the kernel via the following commands.
Uncomment "deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-testing/ buster main" in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-radxa-com.list. Here I use debian buster image. So its content is
deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-stable/ buster main deb http://apt.radxa.com/buster-testing/ buster main
If you use ubuntu focal image, It should be like this
deb http://apt.radxa.com/focal-stable/ focal main deb http://apt.radxa.com/focal-testing/ focal main
After saving that file, now we install the latest kernel packages.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock# apt update root@rock-3a:/home/rock# apt install -y linux-4.19-rock-3-latest
Then reboot the device. Use command 'uname -a' to check the kernel verison again.
Step 2: Get Prebuilt RKNN2 SSD DEMO
Install curl tool.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock# apt update root@rock-3a:/home/rock# apt install -y curl
Get rknn_ssd_demo_Linux.zip package, check the md5 of file. It should be b03a1b3c236b83def933090c846d24f5. And extract it.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock# curl https://dl.radxa.com/rock3/npu/rknn_ssd_demo_linux_20211228.tar.gz > rknn_ssd_demo_linux_20211228.tar.gz root@rock-3a:/home/rock# md5sum rknn_ssd_demo_linux_20211228.tar.gz b03a1b3c236b83def933090c846d24f5 rknn_ssd_demo_linux_20211228.tar.gz root@rock-3a:/home/rock# tar zxvf rknn_ssd_demo_linux_20211228.tar.gz
Check RKNN runtime version. Here it is 1.1.0.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock# cd rknn_ssd_demo_Linux root@rock-3a:/home/rock/rknn_ssd_demo_Linux# strings lib/librknnrt.so | grep version librknnrt version: 1.1.0 (8a9d6f66@2021-08-19T15:09:11) rknn_query, info_len(%d) != sizeof(rknn_sdk_version)(%d)!

Step3: Run RKNN2 SSD DEMO
These are test commands and result.
root@rock-3a:/home/rock/rknn_ssd_demo_Linux# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib/ root@rock-3a:/home/rock/rknn_ssd_demo_Linux# ./rknn_ssd_demo model/ssd_inception_v2.rknn model/road.bmp Loading model ... rknn_init ... model input num: 1, output num: 2 input tensors: index=0 name=Preprocessor/sub:0 n_dims=4 dims=[1 300 300 3] n_elems=270000 size=270000 fmt=0 type=3 qnt_type=2 fl=0 zp=0 scale=0.007812 output tensors: index=0 name=concat:0 n_dims=4 dims=[1 1917 1 4] n_elems=7668 size=30672 fmt=0 type=0 qnt_type=2 fl=0 zp=53 scale=0.089455 index=1 name=concat_1:0 n_dims=4 dims=[1 1917 91 1] n_elems=174447 size=697788 fmt=0 type=0 qnt_type=2 fl=0 zp=53 scale=0.143593 rknn_run loadLabelName ssd - loadLabelName ./model/coco_labels_list.txt loadBoxPriors person @ (13 125 59 212) 0.984696 person @ (110 119 152 197) 0.969119 bicycle @ (171 165 278 234) 0.969119 person @ (206 113 256 216) 0.964519 car @ (146 133 216 170) 0.959264 person @ (49 133 58 156) 0.606060 person @ (83 134 92 158) 0.606060 person @ (96 135 106 162) 0.464163 root@rock-3a:/home/rock/rknn_ssd_demo_Linux
You would also get the output image, out.jpg, under /home/rock/rknn_ssd_demo_Linux directory.
Step4: Run Your Own Built RKNPU Demo
You can get more rknpu demo from RK356X NPU SDK.
