I have an error code is 23, type is 19, which is AI_ERROR_CODE_INVALID_FORMAT. Is there certain mistakes I could be making?

I've followed the example on Embedded Inference Client API. However when I run the model I get the error code 23 and type 19 which is the AI_ERROR_CODE_INVALID_FORMAT.

I've checked the type with the following code and both the input and output return 1 for float_stat, this shows that it is a float type

 /* Extract format of the first input tensor (index 0) */

 volatile const ai_buffer *ai_input_1 = &ai_input[0];

 /* Extract format of the tensor */

 fmt_1 = AI_BUFFER_FORMAT(ai_input_1);

 //Extract the float value 1 = float type

 float_stat = AI_BUFFER_FMT_GET_FLOAT(fmt_1);

I've included my code to see if there is something obvious. I have used the API reference that is accessed through CubeIDE but I have found no help. I'm unsure of any other documentation that may help either or examples. I've removed the default code to make it easier to read.

An Onnx model was used which is a sklearn model that has been converted. I was able to upload, analyse, graph and validate successfully. I have set the component set to the application template.

Problem solved.

I was writing this code in main while I had the application template selected. I believe the variable names in both my main and template were the same so was causing clashes. Or I had not set up the input or output correctly. It may be the output as I set it to size 1 when the template set it to size 2. On the template version, it seems there are 2 outputs, one is the class and the other is the value/confidence. This would explain the problem with wrong size (the error code does not inform you whether it is input or output).

I recommend using the template if you are having issues. The only problem with the template is that I can not set the input and outputs buffers values to float with the code generation. I must do it manually by changing all ai_i8 to ai_float. Then I must change the AI_MODEL_IN/OUT_SIZE_BYTES to AI_MODEL_IN/OUT_SIZE as this will change it to a float size. The only problem with this is that if I regenerated the code it might overwrite and remove my changes.

If anyone finds a way to have the code generate a float format rather than ai_i8 let me know.
