Custom Layers for Movidius in OpenVINO

Are custom layers in OpenVINO implemented in OpenCL allowed  for Movidius stick as they are for GPUs? I see that the custom layers directory in https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino/tree/master/inference-engine/src/vpu/custom_kernels, however the documentation makes no mention of it in https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino_docs_HOWTO_Custom_Layers_Guide.html. This documentation does mention custom layers for VPU: https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/2019_R1.1/_docs_IE_DG_supported_plugins_VPU.html.The documentation may not be up to date but I wanted to confirm that. Also, I was wondering how to register custom kernels in the github link above with OpenVINO so they can be used by NCS at inference time.

Hello,


The custom layers implemented in OpenCL should be allowed for VPU.

@MAURICIOAL_R_Intel  I was more interested in Neural Compute Stick2 more specifically. From the latest release notes, it looks like custom layers in OpenCL will be supported sometime in October of 2020? https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/openvino-relnotes.html
