eIQ^™ Software for Arm^® NN Inference Engine

eIQ software supports the Arm NN SDK – an inference engine framework that provides a bridge between neural network (NN) frameworks and Arm machine learning processors, including NXP’s i.MX and Layerscape^® processors. For Arm^® Cortex^®-A based processors, Arm NN converts models trained with existing neural network frameworks into inference engines that leverage Arm Neon^™ instructions via the Arm Compute Library. NXP provides back-end support for Arm NN to allow inferencing to be run on the i.MX 8 GPUs and the i.MX 8M Plus NPU. Arm NN works with Caffe, TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, and ONNX models.
