New ContributorDL models on FPGA with OpenVINO
Regular ContributorHi,
1) So, for example, if a particular layer is supported by the FPGA plug-in, in reality this may not be executed on the FPGA if it is not foreseen by the bitstream loaded on the board. Did I get it right?
It will flag error if you are nnot using FPGA that is programmed with the correct bitstream.
2) Also I saw that you can specify "-l <CPU_EXTENSION>" to expand the levels supported by the CPU plug-in. Is there something similar for FPGA? Or not?
Currerntly there is no expension supported on FPGA side.
New ContributorHi,
everything is clear, thanks!
One last thing, do you know if the PCIe connection is strictly necessary to use only the FPGA as target device with "-d FPGA"? If I want to use my notebook to program one of the OpenVINO compatible kits, I cannot connect the card via PCIe. So I was wondering if the USB connection alone was sufficient for this purpose.
Thanks in advance,
best regards.
