Add driver async API Add an asynchronous API to the driver. The current synchronous API is now using the new async API internally. The main new functions are ethosu_invoke_async() and ethosu_wait(). Every successfull call to ethosu_invoke_async() must be followed by a call to ethosu_wait() to get the status of the inference. The wait function can be called in a blocking or non-blocking mode by specifying the `block` argument to true/false. The regular synchronous invoke function is implemented as a invoke_async followed by a wait(block=true) call. Short sommary of changes: - Add an internal ethosu_job struct to keep track of inference data and job state. - Use async API in blocking mode for normal flow - Change default semaphore implementation to binary type - Move error prints out of interrupt context - Move ethosu_inference_begin() callback to right before HW invoke - Always call ethosu_inference_end() callback, even in case of errors - On NPU error, do not keep NPU powered after being reset Change-Id: If4c3c46e3c6732a669e17251bd848dea5765a490
This repository contains a device driver for the Arm(R) Ethos(TM)-U NPU.
The source code comes with a CMake based build system. The driver is expeced to be cross compiled for any of the supported Arm Cortex(R)-M CPUs, which will require the user to setup a custom toolchain file.
The user is also required to define CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for the target CPU, for example cortex-m55+nodsp+nofp. This can be done either in the toolchain file or on the command line.
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<toolchain> -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=cortex-m<nr><features> $ make
For running the driver on Arm CPUs which are configured with datacache, the cache maintenance functions in the driver are exported with weakly linked symbols that should be overriden. An example implementation using the CMSIS primitives found in cachel1_armv7.h could be as below:
extern "C" {
void ethosu_flush_dcache(uint32_t *p, size_t bytes) {
if (p)
SCB_CleanDCache_by_Addr(p, bytes);
else
SCB_CleanDCache();
}
void ethosu_invalidate_dcache(uint32_t *p, size_t bytes) {
if (p)
SCB_InvalidateDCache_by_Addr(p, bytes);
else
SCB_InvalidateDCache();
}
}
