How to communicate with Myriad X on Up Vision Plus X?

in UP Core Plus Hardware Specification

For hardware developers: which interface is used to communicate with Myriad X devices on carrier/expansion board Up Vision Plus X? Is this USB or PCIe or some kind of a converter from one to another?

Best regards
Aleksandr.

    Hi @SashaBe

    The Myriad-X on the Vision Plus X works following the standard setup procedure from the Intel Linux Installation guide (points 1 to 4).
    https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_linux.html#install-openvino

    Once completed the main setup you need to proceed with the steps for the VPU installation
    https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_linux_ivad_vpu.html

    Now you need to change the settings of the HDDL plugin to use 3 Myriad-X:
    $sudo nano /opt/intel/computer_vision_sdk/inference_engine/external/hddl/config/hddl_autoboot.config
    Modify the number of “total_device_number” variable from 8 to 3 and save the new settings

    Then you can compile and run the example available for the Myriad-X using the HDDL plugin
    You can easily run one of the demo: https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_linux.html#run-the-demos:

    $cd /opt/intel/openvino/deployment_tools/demo

    just edit the file

    $ sudo nano demo_security_barrier_camera.sh

    and change the variable target from CPU to HDDL, save and run the example

    $./demo_security_barrier_camera.sh

    Hi, @DCleri !
    Thank you for your answer.
    I have faced some troubles with VPU installation guide. Namely, I failed to build and install drivers in step 5.
    Namely, the script failed to find /lib/modules/4.15.0-37-generic/build
    This is output, which mention script has returned to the command line:

    if [[ "" != "" ]]; then sudo rmmod myd_ion; fi;

    I googled around and found the following link on AskUbuntu with a similar issue. Finally, I entered the following command:

    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.15.0-37-generic

    After that, the driver setup performed successfully.
    The root cause of mentioned trouble, possibly, suited in the Up Ubuntu installation guide on the project Wiki. I guess, generic kernels could contain headers by default, but not installed Up kernel.

    Despite success in driver building, the following tries to launch the demo failed.
    I would try to post a new comment with details.

    Dear @DCleri
    the best if one could really get this brand new board and reproduce the whole sequence from the scratch, including hardware assembly, OS and OpenVINO setup, and tuning, etc.
    Alternatively, one could obtain and share the full EMMC image from the actual working device.

    I have a similar topic here, still no answers there.

    Dear @DCleri !
    Good news!
    I have tested the second set, which arrived for us. It seems working.
    Finally, demo_security_camera_barrier, run with all 3 VPUs which was illustrated by lsusb output, where all three 2485 PIDs become F63B when inited for inference.
    Important to know, that VPUs in my set work via MYRIAD plugin, not HDDL, i.e. run with the following command:
    $./demo_security_barrier_camera.sh -d MYRIAD

    The first set seems to be not fully functional, moreover, it has a blue label "Engineering Sample".
    There are 2 photos attached to this comment.
    How is it possible that the engineering sample has been sent instead of a fully functional one for the full price?

    What do we do with this board?
    I will check if Up Vision Plus X works fine with "not engineering sample" of Up Core Plus and update soon.
    Highly likely, we would like to return or exchange "Engineering Sample" to the functional one.

    UPD: Both Up Vision Plus X with 3VPUs work fine with normal Up Core Plus.

    Hi @SashaBe

    I would close the other topic and we continue here.

    About the engineering sample, did you ordered from the shop recently and you got that instead of a normal board?
    Or did you order a pre-production sample long time ago?
    Just for my own information.

    Please apply for RMA to request for replacement of the non working unit.

    Regarding the plugin, both Myriad and HDDL should work, but the HDDL is the one designed to run the inference across multiple Myriad-X
