Introduction

AEMY (Advanced Embedded Machine Learning Yocto) is an open-source project that enables the development of machine learning models on embedded systems. In this setup guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up the AEMY repository, which is the foundation for building and deploying machine learning models on embedded devices.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the AEMY repository, you need to have the following prerequisites:

  • Yocto Project: AEMY is built on top of the Yocto Project, which is a set of tools and frameworks for building and deploying embedded Linux systems. You need to have the Yocto Project installed on your system.
  • Git: AEMY uses Git for version control, so you need to have Git installed on your system.
  • Python: AEMY uses Python for scripting and automation, so you need to have Python installed on your system.
  • Build tools: You need to have build tools such as make, gcc, and g++ installed on your system.

Setting up the Repository

To set up the AEMY repository, follow these steps:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, you need to clone the AEMY repository from the Git server. You can do this using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/aemy-project/aemy.git

This will create a new directory called aemy in your current working directory, which contains the AEMY repository.

Step 2: Initialize the Submodules

AEMY uses submodules to manage dependencies, so you need to initialize the submodules before you can build the project. You can do this using the following command:

git submodule init

This will initialize the submodules in the aemy directory.

Step 3: Update the Submodules

After initializing the submodules, you need to update them to the latest version. You can do this using the following command:

git submodule update --remote

This will update the submodules in the aemy directory to the latest version.

Step 4: Build the Project

After setting up the repository, you can build the project using the following command:

make aemy

This will build the AEMY project and create a new directory called build in the aemy directory, which contains the built project.

Configuring the Project

After building the project, you need to configure it to suit your needs. You can do this by editing the aemy.conf file in the build directory.

Step 1: Edit the Configuration File

You can edit the aemy.conf file using a text editor such as nano or vim. You can add or modify configuration options as needed.

Step 2: Save the Changes

After editing the configuration file, you need to save the changes. You can do this by saving the file and exiting the text editor.

Step 3: Rebuild the Project

After saving the changes, you need to rebuild the project using the following command:

make aemy

This will rebuild the AEMY project with the new configuration options.

Deploying the Project

After configuring the project, you can deploy it to your embedded device. You can do this by following these steps:

Step 1: Create a Bootable Image

You can create a bootable image using the following command:

make aemy-image

This will create a new file called aemy-image.img in the build directory, which is a bootable image of the AEMY project.

Step 2: Flash the Image

You can flash the image to your embedded device using a tool such as dd or flash. You can do this by following the instructions provided by the device manufacturer.

Step 3: Boot the Device

After flashing the image, you can boot the device using the following command:

make aemy-boot

This will boot the AEMY project on your embedded device.

Conclusion

In this setup guide, we walked you through the process of setting up the AEMY repository, which is the foundation for building and deploying machine learning models on embedded devices. We covered the prerequisites, setting up the repository, configuring the project, and deploying the project to an embedded device. With this guide, you should be able to set up the AEMY repository and start building and deploying machine learning models on embedded devices.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the setup process, you can refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

Step 1: Check the Prerequisites

Make sure that you have the prerequisites installed on your system, including the Yocto Project, Git, Python, and build tools.

Step 2: Check the Repository

Make sure that the AEMY repository is cloned correctly and that the submodules are initialized and updated.

Step 3: Check the Configuration File

Make sure that the aemy.conf file is edited correctly and that the changes are saved.

Step 4: Check the Build Process

Make sure that the build process is completed successfully and that the build directory is created.

Step 5: Check the Deployment Process

Make sure that the deployment process is completed successfully and that the image is flashed to the embedded device.
