1.3. VivanteIDE

The VivanteIDE is installed correctly if you want to generate NBG cases from the ACUITY Toolkit. Please refer to this document: VivanteIDE Install

2. Version Information

The VIP9000 NPU driver Acuity Toolkit and ViviantelIDE need to match the version

VIP9000 NPU Kernel Driver

Acuity Toolkit

ViviantelIDE

v6.4.13.8

6.18.1

5.7.2

v6.4.15.9

6.21.1

5.8.2

3. Binary Toolkit

3.1. Install Procedure

  1. Extract the ACUITY package, Verisilicon_Tool_Acuity_Toolkit_<version>.tgz, to a destination directory. There are two versions of the toolkit, Please confirm the version that needs to be installed:

    • acuity-toolkit-binary-6.18.1, matches the VIP9000-NPU kernel driver v6.4.13.8

    • acuity-toolkit-binary-6.21.1, matches the VIP9000-NPU kernel driver v6.4.15.9

  2. From this directory, locate and unpack the binary package acuity-toolkit-binary-<version>.tgz. When the unpacking is completed, the installation finishes.

3.2. Toolkit Verification

  1. Switch to the ./acuity-toolkit-binary-<version>/bin directory.

  2. Set the environment variable ACUITY_PATH as follows, which will used to execute the ACUITY binary tools

  3. Execute binary file

user@linux:~/c3v/acuity-toolkit-binary-6.21.1/bin$ ./pegasus -h
yang.luo@ti-d630:~/c3v/acuity-toolkit-binary-6.21.1/bin$ ./pegasus 
usage: pegasus [-h] {import,export,generate,prune,inference,quantize,train,dump,measure,help} ...

Pegasus commands.

positional arguments:
  {import,export,generate,prune,inference,quantize,train,dump,measure,help}
    import              Import models.
    export              Export models.
    generate            Generate metas.
    prune               prune models.
    inference           Inference model and get result.
    quantize            Quantize model.
    train               Train model.
    dump                Dump model activations.
    measure             Get amount of calculation, parameter and activation.
    help                Print a synopsis and a list of commands.

optional arguments:
	-h, --help						show this help message and exit
