Inference Engine Python API Error

Hello everybody,

when I try to execute the Inference Engine python API with "HETERO:FPGA,CPU" device I have the following error:

    exec_net = ie.load_network(network=net, device_name=args.device)
    File "ie_api.pyx", line 85, in openvino.inference_engine.ie_api.IECore.load_network
    File "ie_api.pyx", line 92, in openvino.inference_engine.ie_api.IECore.load_network
    RuntimeError: Failed to call QueryNetwork for FPGA device, error: Failed to create FPGA device handle with ID 0

 

In CPU the example is OK and when I execute the demos (demo_security_barrier_camera.sh and demo_squeezenet_download_convert_run.sh) with HETERO:FPGA,CPU is OK too.

The FPGA diagnose device is OK.

Any help is welcome!

Thanks...

Hi Jorge,

What was the command you used to deploy your model? Can you please give more information about your model?

Best Regards,

  • And the comand to run Inference Engine:

python3 cero_IE.py -m /home/cero_red_CNN/Inference_Engine_FPGA/FP16/tf_model0_fp16.xml -i /home/cero_red_CNN/Inference_Engine_FPGA/FP16/Images/cuatro.png -d HETERO:FPGA,CPU

Thanks for all. Jorge.

Hi Jorge,

When you converted your model, did you use --data_type FP16? If so, you used the conversion to run on Myriad (VPU). If you want to run on the CPU, convert your model with the parameter --data_type FP32. 

I hope this information is helpful.

Best,

Sahira

Hi Sahira,

I've converted my model with FP32 and I have the same problem, the bit stream and the 'aocl diagnose'' are:

Hi Jorge,

Can you please run the Benchmark Application with the parameter -d HETERO:FPGA,CPU? Are you getting the same errors? 

Best,

Hi Jorge,

It looks like you're using an older version of OpenVINO - can you please try upgrading to the latest version of OpenVINO? 

Best Regards,

Sahira
