Running dla_build_example_design.py failed and no .sof file was generated

[STATEABC]

My system is 20.04, FPGA AI Suite version is 2024.1, OpenVINO version is 2023.3, Quartus version is 23.4

I generated an optimized genarate_arch.arch file by running the dla_compiler command. Its basic architecture file is AGX7_Performance.arch, so AGX7_Performance.sof is still used as bitstream

But when I use this arch to run openvino demo, I was prompted: arch check failed: compiledResult arch hash and bitstream arch hash are inconsistent.

If I use the command export DLA_DISABLE_ARCHCHECK=1, an error will occur: FATAL ERROR: inference on FPGA did not complete, jobs fnished 0, jobs waited 0

So do I need to regenerate bitstream for genarate_arch.arch through dla_build_example_design.py?

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

Does that mean that you are regenerating your arch file? If yes, you might need to regenerate the bitstream as your arch is no longer suitable for the bitstream. If you are arch is from the original arch then I would recommend to use the original arch file.

You can only change the .xmlbin file if you are re-using the sof file

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you provide me the step by step method that you use to run it? Can you share with me the input file so that I can try to see if I am able to duplicate the issue?

Thanks.

[STATEABC]

Of course
After activating the environment variables according to the FPGA AI Suite: Getting Started Guide, I ran

dla_build_example_design.py -ed 3 -n 1 -a AGX7_Performance --build-dir build_path --build --output-dir ouuput_path

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

May I know the OS, RAM and Quartus used?

Thanks

[STATEABC]

Hi,

My system is Ubuntu 20.04 with 96G of RAM and Quartus version 23.4.

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

I am still in the progress of checking this with engineering team.

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

I try to follow the step you provided and compile from my side and I do not observed the issue. Can you provide the full compilation log so that I can fully look into the issue?

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

Are you able to provide the full log so that I can further debug the issue?

[JohnT_Intel]
