UP Squared supports Tensorflow 2.0

HwTeoh

Hi

Could UP Squared board supports tensorflow 2.0? As I tried to run tensorflow 2.0 and I receive an error message of illegal instruction (core dumped).

Although I solved this issue by downgrade the tensorflow version, but the keras requires a higher version of tensorflow to perform.

Anyone is facing this issue or solved this issue?

Thank you.

Hi @HwTeoh

TensorFlow2.0 requires a CPU extension which is not available on Atom CPUs.

For this reason it is not possible to use TensorFlow2.0 on UP Squared.

You might need to check on the Intel communities for information about future updates on TensorFlow2.0 for OpenVINO and Atom CPUs.

Hi @DCleri

Thank you for your information.

The highest I have been able to get working is 1.4 which is pretty crazy.

The problem is with the pre-built binaries as there is only one version available for x86 which covers all the CPU families.

After additional research, these steps involved in building tensorflow from source, disabling the unwanted/incompatible extensions:
