Does not seem to work with 2019.R1

Open kutenai opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I wanted to run this tutorial. In fact, the docs for OpenVINO 2019_r1 point to it. Unfortunately, it does not work with that version. I cannot use a newer version of OpenVINO, and there are no older version, i.e. 2018_R3, listed on the OpenVINO download site.. so, kind of stuck!!

The first issue was that after running cmake, one of the files could not find slog.hpp. After hacking around on cmake, without success, I just modified the source file which was in /opt/intel/openvino/**

That fixed one problem, but then there were others. In main.cpp of this repo, it was looking for these includes:

//#include "mkldnn/mkldnn_extension_ptr.hpp" #include <ext_list.hpp>

The first one just DOES NOT EXIST anywhere in /opt/intel/openvino -- so that's a major issue. The other one exists in a different place. I hacked that to have the full path also, but now I have a lot of undefined errors related to matU8ToBlob.

Any help would be appreciated it's a great great tutorial, I'd really like to get it working.

there is a PR with some updates for the Readme, one of which reads

**Note:** This tutorial is for the Open Visual Inference & Neural Network Optimization (OpenVINO™) toolkit for Linux with FPGA Support version 2018 R3.1. Do not use this tutorial for other versions of the OpenVINO™ toolkit.

The problem is that INTEL links to this exact demo on the 2019_R1 documentation. https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/2019_R1/_docs_install_guides_GX_Configure_2019R1.html Find the "Hello World.." demo link... links to this repo. Which, given that this project won't work with that version, kind of sucks.

Would be nice to either A) remove that link form the docs, so it won't confuse people like my that innocently just try and "READ THE F'ing MANUAL" B) Fix this to work with 2019_R1 at least.

B would be very cool, but, requires someone to have time for that stuff. Given this has not had a commit in 2 years.. I won't hold my breath.
