Setting up Arm Corstone-300 FVP

Arm Ethos-U55 is the first microNPU designed by Arm to extend the ML capabilities of Cortex-M-based microcontrollers. Unfortunately, there is no hardware availability with this new processor at the time of writing. However, Arm offers a free Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) based on the Arm Corstone-300 system to quickly experiment with ML models on this processor without the need for physical devices.

In this recipe, we will give more details on the computational capabilities of the Arm Ethos-U55 microNPU and install the Corstone-300 FVP.

Getting ready

Let's start this first recipe by introducing Corstone-300 FVP and Ethos-U55 microNPU.

Corstone-300 FVP (https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/arm-platforms-software/arm-ecosystem-fvps) is a virtual platform based on an Arm Cortex-M55 CPU and Ethos-U55 microNPU.
