Advanced Setup

Docker based setup for X86_PC

The following environment variables must be exported to configure the docker based setup (export ENV_VAR:Option):

No Environment Variable Default Available Options Notes
1 SOC Unset am62a, am67a, am68a, am69a, am68pa Must be set to the appropriate device
2 TIDL_TOOLS_TYPE Unset Unset, GPU Setting TIDL_TOOLS_TYPE=GPU sets up the docker image for tidl tools built with OpenACC based acceleration
GPU tools require a NVIDIA GPU with CUDA Support [^1]
3 USE_PROXY Unset Unset, ti Should only be set if within TI network

Steps to build and run the docker image:

  1. Clone Github repo

       git clone https://github.com/TexasInstruments/edgeai-tidl-tools.git
   cd edgeai-tidl-tools
   git checkout <TAG Compatible with your SDK version>

  2. One time setup for Docker:

       source ./scripts/docker/setup_docker.sh

  3. Build the docker image:

       source ./scripts/docker/build_docker.sh

  4. Run the docker image:

       source ./scripts/docker/run_docker.sh

  5. After running the docker container, run the setup script:

     cd /home/root/
 # Supported SOC name strings am62, am62a, am67a, am68a, am68pa, am69a
 # Note: am62 doesn't support hardware acceleration & GPU tools are not supported for it
 export SOC=<Your SOC name>
 #Set TIDL_TOOLS_TYPE to GPU if using GPU tools
 export TIDL_TOOLS_TYPE=<Your Tools Type (GPU)>
 source ./setup.sh

Troubleshooting GPU Docker Setup Issues:

  • In case Docker is not able to detect your GPU during the run_docker step, you need to install the nvidia-container-toolkit

  • After installing the above, restart Docker:

      sudo systemctl restart docker

  • Above steps have been validated on a 2080 TI GPU with CUDA Version 12.2 & Driver versions 535.86

Advanced Setup Options

  • To validate only python examples and avoid running CPP examples, invoke the setup script with below option
 source ./setup.sh --skip_cpp_deps
  • To use existing ARM GCC tools chain installed and avoid downloading, invoke the setup script with below option and set "ARM64_GCC_PATH" environment variable
export ARM64_GCC_PATH=$(pwd)/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu
source ./setup.sh --skip_arm_gcc_download
  • If you are building the PSDK-RTOS/FIRMWARE-BUILDER from source and updating any of the TIDL tools during the development, then set "TIDL_TOOLS_PATH" environment variable before starting setup script
export TIDL_TOOLS_PATH=$PSDKR_INSTALL_PATH/tidl_xxx_xx_xx_xx_xx/tidl_tools
source ./setup.sh
