Build Time: Binary Patching (Host x86_64) + +**What happens**: During `./package` execution, RKNN binaries are patched +- **Tool**: patchelf installed via apt/pip +- **Target binaries**: All 8 `.so` files in `rknnlite` package +- **RPATH modification**: Set to `$ORIGIN/../../../../` +- **Result**: Binaries now search relative to their location instead of hardcoded `/usr/lib/` + +**Path resolution logic**: +- Binary location: `site-packages/rknnlite/api/rknn_runtime.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so` +- RPATH `$ORIGIN/../../../../` resolves to: `extension_home/usr/lib/` +- Target library: `extension_home/usr/lib/librknnrt.so` + +#### 2. Package Creation (Host x86_64) + +**What happens**: Extension ZIP file created with patched binaries +- **Development package**: `pydev-TIMESTAMP.zip` (386M) +- **Production package**: `ext_pydev-TIMESTAMP.zip` (330M) +- **Contents**: Patched RKNN binaries + librknnrt.so + Python runtime +- **Result**: Self-contained extension with modified library search paths + +#### 3. Extension Deployment (Player ARM64) + +**Development deployment**: +```bash +# Manual extraction to development location +mkdir -p /usr/local && cd /usr/local +unzip /storage/sd/pydev-TIMESTAMP.zip +# Result: Extension at /usr/local/pydev/ +``` + +**Production deployment**: +```bash +# Extension installation via script +bash ./ext_pydev_install-lvm.sh +# Result: Extension at /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/ +``` + +#### 4. Environment Initialization (Player ARM64) + +**Development workflow**: +- **Manual trigger**: `source sh/setup_python_env` +- **What it does**: Sets PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables +- **RKNN setup**: Calls `setup_rknn_libraries()` function (creates redundant symlinks) +- **Result**: Python environment ready, but **$ORIGIN RPATH does the real work** + +**Production workflow**: +- **Automatic trigger**: `bsext_init` calls `sh/init-extension` at boot +- **What it does**: Runs `source sh/setup_python_env` automatically +- **Extension lifecycle**: Started as system service +- **Result**: Extension runs automatically, environment initialized + +#### 5. Runtime Library Resolution (Player ARM64) + +**When `python3 test-load.py` runs**: + +**Step 5.1**: Python import +```python +from rknnlite.api import RKNNLite # ✅ Package import succeeds +``` + +**Step 5.2**: RKNN object creation +```python +rknn_lite = RKNNLite() # ✅ Object creation succeeds +``` + +**Step 5.3**: Runtime initialization (CRITICAL POINT) +```python +ret = rknn_lite.init_runtime() # This is where library loading happens +``` + +**Step 5.4**: Library loading sequence +1. **RKNN code executes**: Calls `_get_rknn_api_lib_path()` +2. **Hardcoded path check**: Still checks `/usr/lib/librknnrt.so` (fails) +3. **Dynamic library loading**: RKNN tries to load library anyway +4. **ELF loader invoked**: Linux ELF loader processes the patched binary +5. **RPATH resolution**: ELF loader resolves `$ORIGIN/../../../../` to actual extension path +6. **Library found**: `librknnrt.so` located at resolved path +7. **Success**: Library loads, init_runtime() completes + +**Key insight**: The hardcoded `os.path.exists()` check still fails, but the actual `dlopen()` library loading succeeds due to the RPATH modification. + +#### Summary of Fix Components + +- **Build-time**: Binary RPATH patching (the real fix) +- **Runtime symlinks**: Created by `setup_python_env` (redundant but harmless) +- **Environment variables**: Set by `setup_python_env` (not the solution but good practice) +- **Extension location**: Works for both `/usr/local/pydev/` and `/var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/` + +**The actual fix is entirely in the RPATH patching** - everything else is supporting infrastructure. + +### Player Testing Instructions + +The implementation is complete. Follow these exact steps to test the patched extension on the player: + +#### Step 1: Deploy Development Package +```bash +# Transfer the package to player (via DWS or scp) +# Package: pydev-20250828-084254.zip (386M) + +# On player, install to development location: +mkdir -p /usr/local && cd /usr/local +unzip /storage/sd/pydev-20250828-084254.zip +``` + +#### Step 2: Setup Python Environment (Development Workflow) +```bash +# Navigate to development installation +cd /usr/local/pydev + +# Source the Python environment setup (this handles all the initialization) +source sh/setup_python_env + +# Expected output should include: +# "RKNN Runtime library setup complete." +# "Python development environment is set up." +# "Extension home: /usr/local/pydev" +# "Use 'python3' and 'pip3' to work with Python." +``` + +#### Step 3: Verify RKNN Installation +```bash +# Test package availability +python3 -c "import rknnlite; print('✅ RKNN import successful')" + +# Check package version +python3 -c "from rknnlite.api import RKNNLite; print('✅ RKNNLite class available')" +``` + +#### Step 4: Test RKNN Runtime Initialization (Critical Test) +```bash +# Run your existing test program +python3 /storage/sd/test-load.py + +# Expected result: +# - No "Exception: Can not find dynamic library on RK3588!" error +# - init_runtime() should complete successfully +# - May see normal RKNN initialization messages +``` + +#### Step 5: Manual Library Path Verification (If Needed) +```bash +# If test fails, verify the library is in the expected location: +cd /usr/local/pydev/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rknnlite/api + +# Verify target library exists where RPATH should find it +ls -la ../../../../librknnrt.so +# Should show: /usr/local/pydev/usr/lib/librknnrt.so + +# Verify the binary files exist and are ARM64 +file rknn_runtime.cpython-38-aarch64-linux-gnu.so +# Should show: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64 + +# Note: RPATH was pre-patched during build to $ORIGIN/../../../../ +# No patchelf needed on player - binaries are already modified +``` + +**Expected Result**: The `rknn_lite.init_runtime()` call should now succeed without the hardcoded path error.
