Deploy code on PSOC™ Edge boards using the Code Example

This section explains how to deploy the code generated from DEEPCRAFT™ Model Converter onto the PSOC™ Edge boards using the PSOC™ Edge MCU: Machine learning DEEPCRAFT™ profiler code example.

PSOC™ Edge MCU: Machine learning DEEPCRAFT™ profiler

This code example demonstrates how to use the DEEPCRAFT™ development flow on PSOC™ Edge MCU, where you can have a pre-trained neural network (NN) model, which can be profiled and validated the target device.

Import a pre-trained model using the DEEPCRAFT™ Model Converter (installed through the Infineon Developer Center), create an embedded and optimized version of this model. After generation, the passed in validation data files can be integrated with this code example, so you can run the same validation data and profile performance when the ML model is deployed on the PSOC™ Edge MCU.

You can also select where to deploy and run the model:

  • High-performance domain: Uses the Arm® Cortex®-M55 and the Ethos-U55 processor
  • Low-power domain: Uses the Arm® Cortex®-M33 and the NNLITE processor

Refer to the README.md in the Code Example for hardware and software setup and other detailed instructions.

Pre-requisites:

Creating Code Example for PSOC™ Edge

The ModusToolbox™ tools package provides the Project Creator as both a GUI tool and a command line tool. Refer to the using_the_code_example.md file in the docs folder for detailed instructions.

After the application is created successfully, the code example directory appears.

Open the project and Launch Model Converter

After the project has been created, you can open it in your preferred development environment. Refer to using_the_code_example.md file in the docs folder for detailed instructions.

After creating the application, let's generate the code for the model using the Model Converter. The code example directory contains the following project.byom files: proj_cm55/project.byom and proj_cm33_ns/project.byom

  1. Double-click the project.byom file for the desired core to open the DEEPCRAFT™ Model Converter. You can also open the Model Converter in the Quick Panel under the configuration.

  2. Configure the parameters in the project.byom to generate, optimize and validate the code. To know about the parameters, refer to the Graphical User Interface.

  3. Click the Start button to generate the code for the model. The code (model.c/.h files) is generated in the Output Directory defined earlier along with the code generation report.

Refer to the README.md and design_and_implementation.md and file in the docs folder for detailed instructions.

Build and program onto the board

  1. Connect the board to your PC using the provided USB cable through the KitProg3 USB connector and program the board.

  2. Select the application project in the Project Explorer

  3. In the Quick Panel, scroll down, and click <Application Name> Program (KitProg3_MiniProg4)

You can build and program the application using other methods, refer to using_the_code_example.md file in the docs folder for detailed instructions.

We are working on the code example for PSOC™ 6 board.
