Failed to create plugin libliaPlugin.so for device FPGA

[Wang__Ting]

Hello,

I was trying to run the yolov3 model with FPGA(Openvino Starter Kit) with the api (object_detection_yolov3_async.py) provided by openvino toolkit 2020_1, and the error comes as the image showed. The error seemed to happen due to the loss of libliaPlugin.so, and I didn't find the file in the folder of inference_engine/lib/intel64. Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem?

Regards,

Ting

Greetings,

Our Latest OpenVino which is Version 2020.4 has provided respective OS with FPGA support in the toolkit itself.

For Linux:

1.Install Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for Linux* with FPGA Support:

2.Configuration Guide for the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2020.4 and the Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA SG2 (IEI's Mustang-F100-A10) on Linux*:

3.Configuration Guide for Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2020.4 and the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA on CentOS or Ubuntu*:

https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino_docs_install_guides_PAC_Configure.html

Also note that Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2020.3.X LTS release will continue to support Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA and the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

Meanwhile, future standard releases (i.e., non-LTS releases) of Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit will no longer include the Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with an Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA and the Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

Hence, it is recommended to use the version of 2020.3

Sincerely,
