Introduction to Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools

The Qualcomm TensorFlow Lite software development kit (Qualcomm TFLite SDK) tools provide the TensorFlow Lite framework for on-device artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing, which facilitates application developers to develop or run suitable AI applications.
This document provides step-by-step instructions to compile a standalone Qualcomm TFLite SDK and set up the development environment. This enables the developer workflow, which includes:

  • setting up the build environment where the developer can compile the Qualcomm TFLite SDK
  • developing standalone Qualcomm TFLite SDK applications

For support, seehttps://www.qualcomm.com/support. The following figure provides a summary of the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workflow: ”
Figure 1-1 Qualcomm TFLite SDK workflow
The tool requires a platform SDK and a configuration file (JSON format) to generate the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts.

To build an end-to-end application using multimedia, AI, and computer vision (CV) subsystems, see Qualcomm Intelligent Multimedia SDK (QIM SDK) Quick Start Guide (80-50450-51).

Set up build environment for Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools

The Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools are released in source form; therefore, establishing the build environment to compile it is a mandatory but one-time setup.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have sudoaccess to the Linux host machine.
  • Ensure that the Linux host version is Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 20.04.
  • Increase the maximum user watches and maximum user instances on the host system.
  • Add the following command lines to/etc/sysctl.confand reboot the host: fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192 fs.inotify.max_user_watches=542288

Install required host packages

The host packages are installed on the Linux host machine.
Run the commands to install the host packages: $ sudo apt install -y jq $ sudo apt install -y texinfo chrpath libxml-simple-perl openjdk-8-jdkheadless
For Ubuntu 18.04 and higher:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 libncurses5 lib32ncurses5- dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip fontconfig
For more information, see https://s[ource.android.com](https://ource.android.com)/docs/setup/start/initializing.

Set up docker environment

A docker is a platform used to build, develop, test, and deliver software. To compile the SDK, the docker must be configured on the Linux host machine.
Ensure that CPU virtualization is enabled on the Linux host machine. If it is not enabled, do the following to enable it from the basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration settings:

  1. Enable virtualization from BIOS:
    a. Press F1 or F2 when the system is booting up to step into BIOS. The BIOS window is displayed.
    b. Switch to the Advanced tab.
    c. In the CPU Configuration section, set Virtualization Technology to Enabled.
    a. Press F12 to save and exit, and then restart the system.
    If these steps do not work, follow the specific instructions from the system provider to enable the virtualization

  2. Remove any old instances of the docker:
    $ sudo apt remove docker-desktop
    $ rm -r $HOME/.docker/desktop
    $ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli
    $ sudo apt purge docker-desktop

  3. Set up the docker remote repository:
    $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb- release $ sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg — dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg $ echo “deb [arch=$(dpkg –print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/ keyrings/ docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $ (lsb_release -cs) stable” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ docker.list > /dev/null

  4. Install docker engine:
    $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli

  5.  Add user to docker group:
    $ sudo groupadd docker $ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

  6.  Reboot the system.

Generate platform SDK

The platform SDK is a mandatory requirement to compile the Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools. It provides all the required platform dependencies required by the Qualcomm TFLite SDK.
Do the following to generate the platform SDK:

  1. Create a build for the preferred software product.
    The instructions to build the QCS8550.LE.1.0release are provided in the release notes. To access the release notes, see References.
    If the images were previously built, execute step 2, and then create a clean build.

  2. Run the following command to build the user space images and platform SDK:
    For QCS8550.LE.1.0, add the machine feature qti-tflite-delegate in MACHINE_FEATURES in the kalama.conf file and source the build environment according to instructions from the release notes.
    After generating user space images from build, run the following command to generate the platform SDK.
    $ bitbake -fc populate_sdk qti-robotics-image

Build Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools – developer workflow

The Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools workflow requires the developer to provide the configuration file with valid input entries. The helper shell scripts from the tflite-tools project (present in the Qualcomm TFLite SDK source tree) provide helper utility functions to set up the shell environment, which can be used for the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workflow.
The developer builds the Qualcomm TFLite SDK projects within the container and generates the artifacts using the utilities provided by tflite-tools.
After a Qualcomm TFLite SDK container is built, the developer can attach to the container and use the helper utilities in the container shell environment for continuous development.

  • There is a provision to install the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts to a Qualcomm device connected to the Linux host via USB/adb.
  • There is also a provision to copy the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts from the container to a different host machine where the Qualcomm device is connected.

**The following figure lists the set of utilities available after setting up the container build environment using the helper scripts for building the Qualcomm TFLite SDK.

**

The figure shows the sequence of execution of the utilities:
**Figure 4-3 Sequence of utilities on host

**

Sync and build Qualcomm TFLite SDK
The Qualcomm TFLite SDK is compiled when the docker image is created. To sync and build the Qualcomm TFLite SDK, do the following:

  1. Create a directory on the host file system to sync the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workspace. For
    example: $mkdir $cd

  2. Fetch the Qualcomm TFLite SDK source code from CodeLinaro:
    $ repo init -u https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/le/sdktflite/tflite/ manifest.git –repo-branch=qc/stable –repo-url=git://git.quicinc.com/ tools/repo.git -m TFLITE.SDK.1.0.r1-00200-TFLITE.0.xml -b release && repo sync -qc –no-tags -j

  3. Create a directory on the host file system that can be mounted into docker. For example: mkdir-p / This directory can be created anywhere on the Linux host machine, and it does not depend on where the Qualcomm TFLite SDK project is synced. After the workflow is completed within the container, the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts can be found at the directory created in this step.

  4. Edit the JSON configuration file present in /tflite-tools/ targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json with the following entries:
    “Image”: “tflite-tools-builder”, “Device_OS”: “le”, “Additional_tag”: “”, “TFLite_Version”: “2.11.1”, “Delegates”: { “Hexagon_delegate”: “OFF”, “Gpu_delegate”: “ON”, “Xnnpack_delegate”: “ON” }, “TFLite_rsync_destination”: “/”, “SDK_path”: “/build-qti-distro-fullstack-perf/tmpglibc/deploy/sdk>”, “SDK_shell_file”: “”, “Base_Dir_Location”: “” }
    For more information on the entries mentioned in the json configuration file, see the Docker.md readme file at /tflite-tools/.
    NOTE For QCS8550, the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP delegate is not supported.

  5. Source the script to set up the environment:
    $ cd /tflite-tools $ source ./scripts/host/docker_env_setup.sh

  6.  Build the Qualcomm TFLite SDK docker image: $ tflite-tools-host-build-image ./targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json If the build setup fails, see Troubleshoot docker setup. After successful completion, the following message is displayed: “Status:Build image completed successfully!!” Running this step builds the Qualcomm TFLite SDK as well.

  7.  Run the Qualcomm TFLite SDK docker container. This starts the container with the tags provided in the JSON configuration file. $tflite-tools-host-run-container ./targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json

  8. Attach to the container started from the previous step.
    $ docker attach

The Qualcomm TFLite SDK is compiled, and the artifacts are ready to be deployed or further can be
used to generate the QIM SDK TFLite plug-in.

Connect device to host and deploy artifacts]

After compilation, there are two mechanisms to connect the device to a host and deploy the
Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts.

  • Device connected to a local Linux host:
    A developer connects the device to a workstation and installs the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts from the container directly on the device (QCS8550).

  • Device connected to a remote host:
    A developer connects the device to a remote workstation, and they can use the pack manager installer commands on Windows and Linux platforms to install the Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts to the device (QCS8550)

**Figure 4-4 Connection of device board to developer and remote workstation

**

Connect device to workstation

The device is connected to the workstation and the development container can access the device over USB/adb.
**The figure shows the stages in the sequence of the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workflow:

**

  1. Run the following commands to install the artifacts to the device:
    $ tflite-tools-device-prepare
    $ tflite-tools-device-deploy

  2. To uninstall the artifacts, run the following command:
    $ tflite-tools-device-packages-remove

Connect device to remote machine

The device is connected to a remote machine, and the Qualcomm TFLite SDK container cannot access the device over USB/ad b.
**The figure shows the stages in the sequence of the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workflow:

**

Run the following commands in the tflite-tools container to copy the artifacts to a remote machine
depending on the package manager on the device:
$ tflite-tools-remote-sync-ipk-rel-pkg
NOTE The remote machine information is provided in the JSON configuration file.
Install artifacts for Windows platform
The Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts can be installed on the device based on the operating system of the remote machine.

For the Windows platform, do the following:
On PowerShell, use the following script: PS C:

adb root PS C:> adb disable-verity PS C:> adb reboot PS C:> adb wait-for- device PS C:> adb root PS C:> adb remount PS C:> adb shell mount -o remount,rw / PS C:> adb shell “mkdir -p /tmp” PS C:> adb push /tmp If the package is an ipk (for QCS8550.LE.1.0), use the following commands: PS C:> adb shell “opkg –force-depends –force-reinstall –force-overwrite install /tmp/”

Install artifacts for Linux platform
Use the following commands:
$ adb root $ adb disable-verity $ adb reboot $ adb wait-for-device $ adb root $ adb remount $ adb shell mount -o remount,rw / $ adb shell “mkdir -p /tmp” $ adb push /tmp If the package is an ipk (for QCS8550.LE.1.0): $ adb shell “opkg –force-depends –force-reinstall –force-overwrite install /tmp/”

Clean up docker image
After completing the developer workflow, the docker environment should be cleaned to free up the storage on the disk. Cleaning the docker removes the unused containers and images, thus freeing up the disk space.
Use the following commands to clean up the docker image:

  1. Run the following command on the Linux workstation:
    $ cd /tflite-tools

  2. Stop the container:
    $ tflite-tools-host-stop-container ./targets/ le-tflite-tools-builder.json

  3. Remove the container:
    $ tflite-tools-host-rm-container ./targets/ le-tflite-tools-builder.json

  4. Remove the older docker images:
    $ tflite-tools-host-images-cleanup

Troubleshoot docker setup

If the tflite-tools-host-build-image command returns a Nospace left on device message, then move the docker directory to/local/mnt. Do the following to troubleshoot the setup:

  1. Back up the existing docker files:
    $ tar -zcC /var/lib docker > /mnt/pd0/var_lib_docker-backup-$(date + %s).tar.gz

  2. Stop the docker:
    $ service docker stop

  3. Verify that no docker process is running:
    $ ps faux | grep docker

  4. Check the docker directory structure:
    $ sudo ls /var/lib/docker/

  5. Move the docker directory to a new partition:
    $ mv /var/lib/docker /local/mnt/docker

  6. Make a symlink to the docker directory in the new partition:
    $ ln -s /local/mnt/docker /var/lib/docker

  7. Ensure that the docker directory structure remains unchanged:
    $ sudo ls /var/lib/docker/

  8. Start docker:
    $ service docker start

  9. Restart all the containers after moving the docker directory.

Generate TFLite SDK with Linux workstation

The TFLite SDK workflow can be enabled without containers using the Linux workstation. This procedure is an alternative to using containers.
To sync and build the Qualcomm TFLite SDK, do the following:

  1. Create a directory on the host file system to sync the Qualcomm TFLite SDK workspace. For example:
    $mkdir
    $cd

  2. Fetch the Qualcomm TFLite SDK source code from CodeLinaro:
    $ repo init -u https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/le/sdktflite/tflite/ manifest.git –repo-branch=qc/stable –repo-url=git://git.quicinc.com/ tools/repo.git -m TFLITE.SDK.1.0.r1-00200-TFLITE.0.xml -b release && repo sync -qc –no-tags -j8 && repo sync -qc –no-tags -j8

  3. 3. Edit the JSON configuration file present in /tflite-tools/ targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json with the following entries
    “Image”: “tflite-tools-builder”, “Device_OS”: “le”, “Additional_tag”: “”, “TFLite_Version”: “2.11.1”, “Delegates”: { “Hexagon_delegate”: “OFF”, “Gpu_delegate”: “ON”, “Xnnpack_delegate”: “ON” }, “TFLite_rsync_destination”: “”, “SDK_path”: “/build-qti-distro-fullstack-perf/tmpglibc/deploy/sdk>”, “SDK_shell_file”: “”, “Base_Dir_Location”: “”
    For more information on the entries mentioned in the json configuration file, see the Docker.md  readme file at /tflite-tools/.
    NOTE For QCS8550, Hexagon DSP delegate is not supported

  4. Source the script to set up the environment:
    $ cd /tflite-tools
    $ source ./scripts/host/host_env_setup.sh

  5. Build the Qualcomm TFLite SDK.
    $ tflite-tools-setup targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json

  6. Run the following utility commands in the same Linux shell to collect the TFLite SDK artifacts from
    TFLite_rsync_destination.
    $ tflite-tools-host-get-rel-package targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json
    $ tflite-tools-host-get-dev-package targets/le-tflite-tools-builder.json

  7. Install artifacts based on the operating system

    • For the Windows platform, on PowerShell, use the following script
      PS C:> adb root PS C:> adb disable-verity PS C:> adb reboot PS C:> adb wait- for-device PS C:> adb root PS C:> adb remount PS C:> adb shell mount -o remount,rw / PS C:> adb shell “mkdir -p /tmp” PS C:> adb push /tmp
      If the package is an ipk (for QCS8550.LE.1.0), use the following commands:
      PS C:> adb shell “opkg –force-depends –force-reinstall –forceoverwrite install /tmp/
      For the Linux platform, use the following script:
      $ adb root $ adb disable-verity $ adb reboot $ adb wait-for-device $ adb root $ adb remount $ adb shell mount -o remount,rw / $ adb shell “mkdir -p /tmp” $ adb push /tmp If the package is an ipk (for QCS8550.LE.1.0):
      $ adb shell “opkg –force-depends –force-reinstall –force-overwrite install /tmp/”

Generate Qualcomm TFLite SDK artifacts for QIM SDK build

To use the artifacts generated to enable the Qualcomm TFLite SDK GStreamer plug-in in QIM SDK, do the following:

  1. Complete the procedure in Sync and build Qualcomm TFLite SDK, and then run the following command: $ tflite-tools-host-get-dev-tar-package ./targets/le-tflite-toolsbuilder.json
    A tar file is generated. It contains the Qualcomm TFLite SDK at the path provided at “TFLite_rsync_destination”

  2. To enable the Qualcomm TFLite SDK GStreamer plug-in, use the tar file as an argument in the JSON configuration file for the QIM SDK build.
    For information on compiling QIM SDK, see Qualcomm Intelligent Multimedia SDK (QIM SDK) Quick Start Guide (80-50450-51).

Build Qualcomm TFLite SDK incrementally

If you are building the Qualcomm TFLite SDK for the first time, see Build Qualcomm TFLite SDK tools – developer workflow. The same build environment can be reused for incremental development.
The helper utilities (within the container) mentioned in the figure are available to developers to compile modified applications and plug-ins.
Figure 5-1 Workflow in a container

After the code changes are completed in the code directory, do the following:

  1. Compile modified code:
    $ tflite-tools-incremental-build-install

  2. Package compiled code:
    $ tflite-tools-ipk-rel-pkg or $ tflite-tools-deb-rel-pkg

  3. Sync release packages with the host file system:
    $ tflite-tools-remote-sync-ipk-rel-pkg
    Or
    $ tflite-tools-remote-sync-deb-rel-pkg

  4. Prepare a dev package:
    $ tflite-tools-ipk-dev-pkg
    The compiled artifacts are found at in the TFLite_rsync_destination folder mentioned in the JSON file, which can be copied to any directory.

Work with QNN external TFLite Delegate

A TFLite External Delegate allows you to run your models (part or whole) on another executor using libraries provided by a trusted third party like QNN by Qualcomm. This mechanism can leverage a variety of on-device accelerators such as the GPU or Hexagon Tensor Processor (HTP) for inference. This provides developers a flexible and decoupled method from the default TFLite to speed up inference.

Prerequisites:

  • Ensure that you use an Ubuntu workstation to extract QNN AI stack.
  • Ensure that you use a QNN version 2.14 to be in conjunction with Qualcomm TFLite SDK

The Qualcomm TFLite SDK is enabled to run inferences on several QNN back-ends through TFLite external Delegate for QNN. The TFLite models with a common flatbuffer representation can be run on GPU and HTP.
After the Qualcomm TFLite SDK packages are installed on the device, do the following to install the QNN libraries on the device.
