[TVMC][microTVM] Add new micro context #9229

gromero · 2021-10-08T02:56:38Z

This patchset adds a new micro context to TVMC under tvmc micro command, allowing tvmc to be used for compiling, build, flashing, and running models on microTVM target devices.

The following typical workflow is provided as an example:

$ wget https://github.com/tensorflow/tflite-micro/raw/main/tensorflow/lite/micro/examples/micro_speech/micro_speech.tflite
$ tvmc compile ./micro_speech.tflite --target="c -keys=cpu -link-params=0 -march=armv7e-m -mcpu=cortex-m7 -model=stm32f746xx -runtime=c -system-lib=1" --output micro_speech.tar --output-format mlf --pass-config tir.disable_vectorize=1 --disabled-pass="AlterOpLayout"
$ tvmc micro create-project /tmp/micro_speech ./micro_speech.tar zephyr --project-option project_type=host_driven zephyr_board=stm32f746g_disco
$ tvmc micro build /tmp/micro_speech zephyr --project-option zephyr_board=stm32f746g_disco
$ tvmc micro flash /tmp/micro_speech zephyr --project-option zephyr_board=stm32f746g_disco
$ tvmc run --device micro /tmp/micro_speech --project-option zephyr_board=stm32f746g_disco --print-top 6 --fill-mode random
[[   3    2    1    0]
 [  35  -63 -100 -128]]

A Pre-RFC will be published soon associated to this patchset to start a discussion about that new context in TVMC.

+        optional=["generate_project"],
+        default="python3 -m west",


is this needed? prefer sys.executable if possible

I was not totally sure at first, but I thought it would be kind to let the user known what the default is here.

I've changed it as you suggested and now it uses sys.executable. So, done in efbc280

I also took the chance to add default value to the help message in 9bf6643 so now, for instance, west_cmd is displayed to the user like:

west_cmd=WEST_CMD path to the west tool. If given, supersedes both the zephyr_base option and ZEPHYR_BASE environment variable. Defaults to '/usr/bin/python3 -m west'.

+        optional=["build", "open_transport"],
+        default="ZEPHYR_BASE",


why this default?

I think by default we could get it from environment variable ZEPHYR_BASE?

@areusch It was actually wrong. I've fixed as suggested by @mehrdadh . Done in efbc280#diff-e9070632c64e33062450a5c887a7a6b683d7294064584407aeff7aef24031dc1R280

Hence now it shows:

zephyr_base=ZEPHYR_BASE path to the zephyr base directory. Defaults to '/home/gromero/zephyrproject/zephyr'.

looks good.

+    # two dynamic parsers (in micro.py and in runner.py) work.
+    #
+    # print(sys.argv)
+    if "run" in sys.argv:


suggest to invert the condition and return early. also, what if run is e.g. the value of --template-dir?

That is a tricky one. The tricky thing here is that due to tvmc design - that uses a decorator to build a list of functions that will later be called explicitly to augment the parser - a call to parser_known_args() can not exit when the command line doesn't match, i.e. when a command line doesn't even satisfies the minimum required syntax so parser_known_args() can not return, so it exists without even providing a known/unknown list of options.

If parser_known_args() returns to early there won't be a chance of calling the second function responsible to build the second dynamic parser (in this case parser in micro.py will be called secondly, as per import order in __init__.py). So when the first call to parser_known_args() returns and prints the options missing it will miss the options that would be included by the second function responsible to build the second dynamic parser.

The case you've asked about ("what if run is e.g. the value of --template-dir?") nicely works:

gromero@amd:~/git/tvm$ tvmc micro create-project /tmp/x16 ~/scripts/sine.tar template --template-dir ./apps/microtvm/run_adhoc_template/template_project --project-option zephyr_board=stm32f746g_disco project_type=host_driven gromero@amd:~/git/tvm$ ls -l /tmp/x16 total 108 -rw-rw-r-- 1 gromero gromero 1404 Oct 25 14:16 boards.json -rw-rw-r-- 1 gromero gromero 2245 Oct 25 14:30 CMakeLists.txt drwxrwxr-x 4 gromero gromero 4096 Oct 25 14:30 crt drwxrwxr-x 2 gromero gromero 4096 Oct 25 14:30 crt_config -rw-rw-r-- 1 gromero gromero 25434 Oct 25 14:16 microtvm_api_server.py drwx------ 6 gromero gromero 4096 Jul 27 20:07 model -rw-rw-r-- 1 gromero gromero 51200 Jul 27 20:07 model.tar -rw-rw-r-- 1 gromero gromero 408 Oct 25 14:30 prj.conf drwxrwxr-x 2 gromero gromero 4096 Oct 25 14:16 src gromero@amd:~/git/tvm$

But the corner case is actually something like:

gromero@amd:~/git/tvm$ tvmc micro create-project /tmp/x17 ~/scripts/sine.tar template --template-dir ./apps/microtvm/run_adhoc_templatez/template_project -x run usage: tvmc [-h] [-v] [--version] {tune,compile,run} ... tvmc: error: invalid choice: 'micro' (choose from 'tune', 'compile', 'run')

Note that 'micro' context is not understood because parse_known_args() returns before parser in micro.py has the chance to augment the parser and add the micro context. If I add the dynamic parser in micro.py the dynamic parser runner.py will suffer that "vanishment" instead.

However to me the corner case seems to be a very rare to happen, hence the "lookahead" hack.

er i meant like this on the invert thing.

if "run" not in sys.argv: return known_args, _ = main_parser.parse_known_args()

on the question about detecting "run", not sure i quite follow--let's chat further offline.

i'd phrase it more in terms of which command-line arg is missing

Actually no command line is missing. This is catching the case when a model.tar file is found in the project dir but it is a classic format, not a MLF. I've tried to improve the message a bit anyway. Done in 8f6f6f6

I also realized that I was not effectively calling raise there so no exception was raised. I fixed that also in the commit above.

+    # TODO(gromero): Adjust for micro targets.


can you explain more?

Yeah. I meant here that currently module.benchmark(dev, number=number, repeat=repeat) as used by the other targets is not working for micro targets and will throw the following trace:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gromero/scripts/./test.py", line 50, in <module> times = module.benchmark(dev, number=1, repeat=1) File "/home/gromero/git/tvm/python/tvm/contrib/graph_executor.py", line 407, in benchmark return self.module.time_evaluator( File "/home/gromero/git/tvm/python/tvm/runtime/module.py", line 292, in evaluator blob = feval(*args) File "tvm/_ffi/_cython/./packed_func.pxi", line 323, in tvm._ffi._cy3.core.PackedFuncBase.__call__ File "tvm/_ffi/_cython/./packed_func.pxi", line 257, in tvm._ffi._cy3.core.FuncCall File "tvm/_ffi/_cython/./packed_func.pxi", line 246, in tvm._ffi._cy3.core.FuncCall3 File "tvm/_ffi/_cython/./base.pxi", line 163, in tvm._ffi._cy3.core.CALL tvm._ffi.base.TVMError: Traceback (most recent call last): 3: TVMFuncCall 2: _ZNSt17_Function_handlerIFvN3tvm 1: tvm::runtime::WrapTimeEvaluator(tvm::runtime::PackedFunc, DLDevice, int, int, int, tvm::runtime::PackedFunc)::{lambda(tvm::runtime::TVMArgs, tvm::runtime::TVMRetValue*)#1}::operator()(tvm::runtime::TVMArgs, tvm::runtime::TVMRetValue*) 0: tvm::runtime::Timer::Start(DLDevice) File "/home/gromero/git/tvm/include/tvm/runtime/device_api.h", line 272 TVMError: unknown type =129

Merely adding the DLDevice type 129 will work around the issue but it feels really wrong. Micro target are defined as simple "CPU" device types, so I could not find from where exactly 129 is being set.

For now. I've reverted to use the common code (and so use module.benchmark()): 825376f

And kept the workaround until we decide what to do so the branch is kept working: a63a486

@areusch Do you have any suggestion on how to fix it?

ah yeah adding to device_api.h isn't going to fix this. the 129 part is a bit confusing--it's actually 1 | (1 << 8) == 1 | 128. 128 is a mask indicating the device is a remote device.

i think this means that benchmark doesn't work with remote devices. i'd suggest we mark benchmarking as unsupported with micro devices and merge this PR rather than try to make benchmarking support remote devices.

nit: uncomment

This isn't actually a nit :(

Uncommenting it amounts to reverting ce29d5b

This obviously can't get merged and needs a proper fix. But I don't have a suggestion yet. As we discussed sometime ago we could flash every time before we run a model but that seems overkill to me.

Although we've chatted a bit about potential memory leaks when running over and over a model without resetting the device, on my experiments I never have an issue when running multiple times with that workaround, (I let the models run overnight, a hundred times in sequence, without resetting the device or flashing the model again between the runs). But yeah I do agree a deeper investigation is necessary here.

Another option I thought of is to introduce a new packet to reset the device, but I'm not sure when exactly it would be send to the device (if in the RPCModuleNode constructor or somewhere else).

Suggestions welcome :)

i see. can you try modifying TVMModFree to be a no-op when mod == system_lib_handle (and system_lib_handle is not kTVMModuleHandleUninitialized)? this may fix your problem. it may also be that we need to reset the board between run calls...but we could try to see if this works first.

I think serial number should come from TVMC. It could be optional and if it's not passed used the one that project API finds.

@mehrdadh This a leftover from the first implementation sorry. I think that listing the available serial number for specific project options must be a duty for the Project API, which in the end is where the code for talking to the device is. Otherwise it would probably result in duplicated code, besides being very hard to maintain in TVMC because a project option that accepts a serial number can virtually be addded to in any tvmc subcommand, so it would kind defeat the automatic option detection mechanism here.

@gromero you're right. It should be in project API and added automatically to tvmc.

I plan to add the tests along the lines of the existing tvmc tests, but for subcommands like flash and run, to really exercise the code a real physical device (microTVM CI) will be required. create-project and build are easier to test.

I'll do that once we set agreement on the interface and other implementation details etc

@areusch @mehrdadh Thanks a lot for the reviews. PTAL.

I think there are only two major issues remaining to get addressed:

mehrdadh · 2021-10-26T01:44:20Z

@gromero I wrote a TVMC test which supports both Zephyr and Arduino when I was testing this PR last week:
TVMC Test

ah yeah adding to device_api.h isn't going to fix this. the 129 part is a bit confusing--it's actually 1 | (1 << 8) == 1 | 128. 128 is a mask indicating the device is a remote device.

i think this means that benchmark doesn't work with remote devices. i'd suggest we mark benchmarking as unsupported with micro devices and merge this PR rather than try to make benchmarking support remote devices.

i see. can you try modifying TVMModFree to be a no-op when mod == system_lib_handle (and system_lib_handle is not kTVMModuleHandleUninitialized)? this may fix your problem. it may also be that we need to reset the board between run calls...but we could try to see if this works first.

the ExitStack still only calls __exit__ when leaving a with block (or technically, when its __exit__ is called). to make this approach work, can you move this line above 475 (so that the entire body of run_module past that line is indented inside the with block)? then, calling enter_session here will cause __exit__ to be invoked when the function returns.

oh got it. thanks, I misunderstood the purpose of contextlib the first time.

So, I've put all below line 475 inside the with scope as you suggested. Just a note that was precisely something like that I was trying to avoid since the beginning, that's why I thought of introducing open() and close() methods at first then use them explicitly in runner.py, first when opening the transport and creating a session, than later at end of run_module, checking again if device == "micro" and if so calling close() explicitly. But yeah If you think that putting everything after line 475 inside with is ok, alright then.

@areusch I've removed the ugly "lookahead" hack and replaced it by a real parser in 409ee6c

The change also now allows using -h or --help to list the platform options like:

gromero@amd:~/git/tvm$ tvmc micro create-project --force /tmp/x46 ~/scripts/sine.tar zephyr --help
usage: tvmc micro create-project project_dir MLF zephyr --project-option OPTION=VALUE [OPTION=VALUE ...] [-h]

                          if given, during generate_project, uncompress the tarball at this path into the project dir.

Currently there is a limitation on microTVM / TVM which doesn't allow running a model multiple times in sequence without previously flashing the model to the device. Root cause is that RPCModuleNode class destructor is called once a run finishes. The destructor sends a RPCCode::kFreeHandle packet with type_code = kTVMModuleHandle to the device which wipes entries in crt/src/runtime/crt/common/crt_runtime_api.c:147:static const TVMModule* registered_modules[TVM_CRT_MAX_REGISTERED_MODULES] when TVMFreeMod() is called when the target receives a kFreeHandle packet. Hence when one tries to re-run a model registered_modules[0] == NULL causes a backtrace on the host side. Probably never before a model on microTVM was run without being flashed just before the run, so tvmc run implementation for micro targets exposed the issue. This commit fixes it by not calling TVMFreeMod() for system_lib_handle on the target side when a session terminates so the pointer to the system_lib_handle is not flushed from 'registered_modules', allowing multiple runs on micro targets. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Romero <gustavo.romero@linaro.org>

Currently when a add_*_parser functions are called in main.py to build and add the various subparsers to the main parser only a subparser is passed to the functions. However if one of these functions need to build a dynamic parser it needs also to call the main parser at least once to parse once the command line and get the arguments necessary to finally build the complete parser. This commit fixes that limitation by passing also the main parser when calling the subparser builders so it can be used to build the dynamic subparses.

This commit introduces support for micro targets (targets supported by microTVM). It creates a new micro context under the new TVMC command 'tvmc micro'. Moreover, three new subcommands are made available in the new context under 'tvmc micro': 'create-project', 'build', and 'flash'. The new support relies on the Project API to query all the options available for a selected platform (like Zephyr and Arduino) and also from any adhoc platform template directory which provides a custom Project API server.
