Compile Tensor Flow Lite for Microcontroller the Hello World Example

General Discussion

#1

Hi, I just started to establish the TensorFlow Lite for Microcontroller development environment. I installed TensorFlow and MinGW.
Next I tried to use the commands under the hello_world README.md to generate the contents to include in my embedded project.
make -f tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/Makefile third_party_downloads
make -f tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/Makefile test_hello_world_test

However, both commands failed. Can you help me to pinpoint what I am missing here:
C:\tflite-micro>mingw32-make -f tensorflow/lite/micro/tools/make/Makefile third_party_downloads
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname -m, …) failed.
-m was unexpected at this time.

Run “TensorFlow Lite Hello World” from TensorFlow samples repo. Build, deploy and run “Fashion MNIST” application from scratch.

Hi @Little_Dave , thanks for the comment. What would be the suggested actions to pass this step?

Hi, I am having the same issue. I don’t see what Little_Daves comment has to do with this. Any help would be appricated. Thanks!

Hi @xianghui_wang , were you able to figure this out? If so can you point me in the right direction? I am also trying to deploy my model on an edge device (a microcontroller) and I am trying to figure out how to generate C header files from my tensorflow lite file.
