Installing the Arm toolchain and Ethos-U driver stack
TVM generates C code for the target device provided using the TFLite model as input. However, the generated source code needs to be compiled manually to run it on Corstone-300 FVP. Furthermore, the Cortex-M55 CPU needs additional software libraries to drive the computation on the Ethos-U55 microNPU.
In this recipe, we will install the Arm GCC toolchain to cross-compile the code for Arm Cortex-M55 and the remaining software libraries' dependencies required for our application.
Getting ready
In this section, we will give you an overview of the three remaining dependencies for our application: the Arm GCC toolchain, the Ethos-U core driver, and the Ethos-U core platforms.
Corstone-300 FVP is a virtual platform based on Arm Cortex-M55 and needs a dedicated compiler to build the application for this target device. The compiler is commonly called a cross-compiler because the target CPU (for example, Arm Cortex-M55) is...
