microTVM example project for Raspberry Pi Pico

This is a very basic microTVM example for Raspberry Pi Pico.

Getting Started (Example for Ubuntu 24.04)

Install CMake and cross compiler.

sudo apt install cmake gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-arm-none-eabi

Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/mshr-h/pico-microtvm-standalone
cd pico-microtvm-standalone

Create python virtual env and install python dependencies.

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Build and install TVM from source.

cd 3rdparty
./build-tvm.sh
cd ..

Build model with TVM.

python build_module.py -m add.onnx

Extract tar and generate hexdumps.

tar xvf model_c.tar
xxd -i graph_c.json > graph_c.json.c
xxd -i params_c.bin > params_c.bin.c

Copy the TVM runtime files from 3rdparty/tvm

./copy-tvm-crt.sh

Fix some errors before building the code.

patch -p1 < diff.patch

Configure and build it.

If PICO_SDK_PATH environment variable isn't set, cmake will automatically download pico-sdk to the build/_dep directory.

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja
cmake --build build

Connect the Pico to the Host PC with pressing the BOOTSEL button.

Copy the binary to Raspberry Pi Pico.

cp microtvm.uf2 /path/to/pico_storage

Connect to the Pico with UART. The default baud rate is 115200.

You can see the inference result.
