Not able to download generated files in ST Edge AI Developer Cloud

[athern27]

HI everyone,

I have recently bought a STM32N6570-DK and I am trying to follow this tutorial to try and implement an example model on my board. I am able to get results and good benchmark but when I go to Generate Your Project I am unable to download anything. It doesn't show any option to download the files. 

I believe it have been should be something shown like this in the video

Kindly help me in this regard.

Hello @athern27,

Indeed, because of the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) imposed by the US, we don't have the right to deliver code for the N6 without a form.

For the moment we disabled the download on st edge ai cloud while waiting for a status concerning the ECCN.

To easily test the N6 and models I suggest you take a look at the ST Model ZOO:

GitHub - STMicroelectronics/stm32ai-modelzoo: AI Model Zoo for STM32 devices

The model zoo is divided into 2 github, one containing multiple architectures of models for multiple use case and the other containing the scripts to retrain, quantized, benchmark, deploy etc...

In your case, based on your model's name, you should take a look at the object detection part of the ST model zoo and the deployment run mode (stm32ai-modelzoo-services/object_detection/deployment/README.md at main · STMicroelectronics/stm32ai-modelzoo-services · GitHub)

To be able to deploy code to the N6, you will need to follow this documentation:

stm32ai-modelzoo-services/object_detection/deployment/README_STM32N6.md at main · STMicroelectronics/stm32ai-modelzoo-services · GitHub

(In short, you copy paste the getting started application into the model zoo folder for it to be capable of generating code. For the same reason as the dev cloud, we can't provide code via the model zoo. Only the getting started can be delivered thanks to the form.)

Furthermore, example code from the dev cloud is just an inference with a random input. Then it sends via serial some metrics, whereas the example code from the getting started + model zoo allows you to use the camera and display with your model.

Best regards

Julian

Thank you for a quick reply.

Can you please help me here. I followed the links you provided but when I run the following command from here.

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

I am getting this error.

Hello @athern27 ,

Can you attach your user_config.json?

Also, make sure to connect your N6 using a usb C to usb C cable on the stlink port. 

Try to put both button to the left and flash and then to the right (I don't remember which side it should be).

When changing the side, you need to unplug and plug again the N6

Have a good day,

Julian

Sorry for the late response. 
I didn't had a USB-C to C cable so I had to buy it. 
I tried running the program again but it still gave me the same error. I didn't find any user_config.json. But I did find deployment_n6_ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_config.yaml so I am attaching it as a txt file.
