PySTM32.AI

A python wrapper for the stm32ai command-line tool to analyse deep learning models for STM32 microcontrollers.

Disclaimer: This project is not related to STMicroelecronics, it is as a wrapper around a component of X-CUBE-AI property of STMicroelecronics and licensed under SLA0048 (see more below).

How it works

The API provide two functions : analyse and generate, the first one gives information about the size of a model and the second one can be used to generate C files to link with X-CUBE-AI runtime library (Not provided in this package).

The package doesn't include stm32ai executable so it will download and install it automatically on first call.

A command line utility is also provided (pystm32ai), however it currently doesn't match the full functionality provided by the original stm32ai executable.

Installation

With pip:

pip3 install pystm32ai

From wheel:

Download wheel from Releases and install with pip:

pip3 install pystm32ai-*.whl

Usage

Python API

The goal of this tool is to use stm32ai in a deep learning training pipeline, where it can give information about the final model running on STM32

from pystm32ai import stm32ai

report = stm32ai.analyse('path/to/model.tflite')
print(report)

stm32ai.generate('path/to/model.tflite') # C files are generated in the current directory

Command line tool

The project can also be used as a command line tool:

pystm32ai analyse path/to/model.tflite
pystm32ai generate path/to/model.tflite

Here is the full usage :

usage: pystm32ai [-h] [--allocate-inputs] [--allocate-outputs] [--full-report] [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR] [--name NAME] {analyse,generate} model_path

Python wrapper around stm32ai command line tool

positional arguments:
  {analyse,generate}    Action to run on stm32ai
  model_path            Path to model

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --allocate-inputs
  --allocate-outputs
  --full-report
  --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR
  --name NAME           Name of the model

):
    """
