RKNN3 SDK provides the complete software stack for deploying AI models on RK1820/RK1828/RK3572, including:
- RKNN3-Toolkit: PC-side software development kit for model conversion, inference, performance evaluation, etc.
- RKNN3 Runtime: On-board runtime library providing C/C++ programming interfaces for deploying RKNN models and accelerating AI applications.
- RKNN3 Model Zoo: Model conversion and deployment example repository, including reference implementations for CNN / LLM / VLM and other models.
Typical Workflow: Users first convert their trained models to RKNN format using RKNN3-Toolkit on a PC, then perform inference on the development board via the RKNN3 Runtime API.
