STM32N6570-DK Object detection python run error for deployment

[ASR]

i followed the instructions or steps listed out in below ticket 

Which software do I need to install to start with STM32N6570-DK?

Currently I am struck at this error please help me.

Regards,

ASR

Hello @ASR,

 

Can you share the yaml file used.

The error message suggests that the part about the hardware in the yaml is wrong.

 

Have a good day,

Julian

[ASR]

Thanks Julian.

I did some changes in the deployment section in yaml file. I am also attaching my file that I modified.

I commented out  #build_conf : "UVCL" now i see some progress but no luck yet. Here is my log.

Hello @ASR,

 

I did not reproduce your issue.

The model zoo was recently updated to make a use of the st edge ai 2.1 and the application are also made with the stedge ai core 2.1.

 

In your yaml you use the version 10.0.0 (2.0).

Could you try to install the stedgeai core 2.1 and change the path and version in the yaml.

 

If it does not help, I would suggest to do a clean install as I don't know what version of model zoo you are using. And conflicts may happen.

 

Have a good day,

Julian

Dear Julian,

I updated the path and version in the yaml file. I noticed that build got struck as per the log. Here is the screenshot of the log. I am not seeing any error, seems got hung.

Hello @ASR,

 

Could you try to locate the st edge ai core 2.1 .exe. It should be in C/ST/stedgeai/2.1/utilities/windows.

Then open a terminal and run a basic command like:

stedgeai.exe analyze --model <path to any model> --target stm32n6 --st-neural-art.

 

On first use, it may ask if you agree to share information and press Y/N and this may block the model zoo.

 

After that, please try to run the deployement in model zoo again.

 

Let me know if it helped.

 

Have a good day,

Julian

If I ran the stedgeai command for mobilenet model. Here is the part of the log.
