Removed and deprecated cli options still present on the -h information / docs.

[Gouveia__César]

Hi,

I was trying to convert the attached mxnet model using OpenVINO 2021.4.689 using the following cli options:
* --generate_deprecated_IR_V7

* --legacy_ir_generation

Command line used:

It's been a while, check for a new version of Intel(R) Distribution of OpenVINO(TM) toolkit here https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/openvino-toolkit/download.html?cid=other&source=prod&campid=ww_2021_bu_IOTG_OpenVINO-2021-4-LTS&content=upg_all&medium=organic or on the GitHub*

If these options are not available in the later versions why they are still present in the -h option?

Thanks,

César.

Greetings Zulkifli,

Thanks for your response! So are you saying that this options are going to be deprecated? Or the warning messages are wrong?

Thanks again,

César.

Hello Cesar Gouveia,

In 2020.3 release notes state that:

·      IRv7 is deprecated and support for this version may be removed as early as v.2021.1 release this year.

The two parameters are no longer available or supported in the latest version, and the option will be removed in the upcoming release.

Sincerely,

Zulkifli
