I have UP AI Edge expansion board with Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU. I want to use it with OpenVINO in Ubuntu 20.04. After installing OpenVINO Development tools using PyPI and virtual environment (I used this tutorial: https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_docs_install_guides_install_dev_tools.html) I want to configure it for use with VPU (using this tutorial: https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_ivad_vpu.html), but 3rdparty/hddl directories are missing. I was searching for them in virtual environment (openvino_env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/openvino/runtime) and in main file system (/opt/intel directory is also missing) but there are nowhere to be found. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe the VPU configuration is not required when installing a OpenVINO with PyPI? Or maybe VPU is not supported with PyPI installation? I feel like I am missing something.

Hi Remni,
OpenVINO Development Tools include Model Optimizer, Benchmark Tool, Accuracy Checker, Post-Training Optimization Tool. When installing OpenVINO Development Tools, OpenVINO Runtime will also be installed as a dependency. So, OpenVINO Runtime is not possible to be excluded. But this OpenVINO Runtime only includes a set of libraries for Intel® CPU and Intel® GPU hardware.
Hence, you have to install OpenVINO Runtime from Installer to get the libraries, driver for Intel® VPU. You still can proceed to configure OpenVINO Development Tools (by running Console Script, e.g. mo -h) as usual even you install additional OpenVINO Runtime from Installer.
To use the OpenVINO Runtime from Installer, you have to set environment variables:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/setupvars.sh

Peh

Hi Remni,
For your information, OpenVINO™ Runtime package install from PyPI only includes a set of libraries for Intel® CPU and Intel® GPU hardware.
To configure VPU, please download OpenVINO™ Runtime package using Installer.
If you installed the OpenVINO™ Runtime package to the default install directory, the HDDL_INSTALL_DIR was set to /opt/intel/openvino_2022/runtime/3rdparty/hddl.

Peh

Thanks for answer.
So if I have to install OpenVINO Runtime from Installer, then how do I configure OpenVINO Development Tools (that can be only installed via PyIP) to work with OpenVINO Runtime installed from installer? With normal openvino-dev installation using PyIP it is also installing another copy of OpenVINO Runtime. Is there a way to install OpenVINO Development Tools without installing additional OpenVINO Runtime copy and just use one installed from installer?

Hi Remni,
This thread will no longer be monitored since this issue has been resolved. If you need any additional information from Intel, please submit a new question.
