After booting up, StarFive recommends to turn off CPU auto frequency regulation and run the following command under root:
$ su -
$ echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Enable HailoRT Monitor (optional)
Run the following command to enable Hailo monitor, which can monitor the utilization rate of NPU devices, models used, and FPS output in real-time:
$ hailortcli monitor
Figure 1. Enable Hailo Monitor
Open another shell (this shell must be the one running the demo program), and
specify the environment
variables:
$ export HAILO_MONITOR=1
Figure 2. Specify environment variables
When executing the demonstration case, HailoRT detects that the HAILO.MONITOR variable of this shell process is 1, and will output real-time monitoring data of the NPU module:Figure 3. Monitor Data
Tappas Demo
The following demo cases can be directly used under Tappas.
Note: The demo under Tappas uses GStreamer videosink with
xvimagesink and ximagesink, while
VisionFive
2's Debian
uses Wayland protocol, these demos need to modify their startup scripts by
changing the ximagesink in video_stink_
element to waylandink:Figure 4. Change Startup Scripts
Otherwise, the following error will occur during runtime:Figure 5. Error
Instance_segmentation:
$ cd /home/user/tappas/apps/h8/gstreamer/vf2/instance_segmentation/
$ ./instance_segmentation.sh -i /dev/video4
Note: The command /dev/video4 specifies
the used USB camera.
Detection:
$ cd /home/user/tappas/apps/h8/gstreamer/vf2/instance_segmentation/
$ ./instance_segmentation.sh -i /dev/ video4-- video4
Note: Specify the use of YOLOv5 model through
-network.
Cascading_networks:
$ cd /home/user/tappas/apps/h8/gstreamer/vf2/cascading_networks/
Note: When the following error occurs, check if
the TAPPAS-WORKSPACE environment variable
is missing.Figure 6. Error
If this error occurs, you can set the environment
variable: export
TAPPAS-WORKSPACE=path_to-tappas/tappas/, where
path_to-tappas is the path where the
Tappas source code directory is located.
NpuDetectorLib Demo
Run the following command to download and compile NpuDetectorLib:
$ tar -xvf NpuDetectorLib.tar
$ cd NpuDetectorLib
$ cmake -H. -Bbuild -DSHOW_LABEL=ON -DBUILD_TESTER=ON
$ cmake --build build
