Model Zoo Object Detection Error

[InterestingError0]

Hello,

I'm following the instructions here: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/stm32ai-modelzoo-services/blob/main/object_detection/docs/README_DEPLOYMENT_STM32N6.md after creating a virtual environment and installed all the packages from requirements.txt, but after running this command:

python stm32ai_main.py --config-path ./src/config_file_examples/ --config-name deployment_n6_ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_config.yaml

I am getting this error:

STM32CubeIDE build failed: ""

The config file and full terminal output are attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @InterestingError0,

I think that it is because the model doesn't fit the memory of the Nucleo N6 board.

Can you open the project in C:\Users\ettariaj\dev\stm32ai-modelzoo-services\application_code\object_detection\STM32N6\Application\NUCLEO-N657X0-Q\STM32CubeIDE

Then compile it and tell me what error you see. I believe you will see something like this:

C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_1.18.1/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.13.3.rel1.win32_1.0.0.202411081344/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/13.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: NUCLEO-N657X0-Q_GettingStarted_ObjectDetection.elf section `.bss' will not fit in region `AXISRAM1_S'

Have a good day,

Hi Julian,

That is precisely the error I am getting. I have successfully deployed the Tiny YoloV2 model.

Thank you for your assistance.
