Use SDRAM to store model_tflite[]

@petewarden

I use the dual core 160 pin microcontroller Arduino Portenta to make TensorFlowLite/Micro models. Recently I found out about an extra 8 MB of SDRAM on the board. I have managed to use the SDRAM to load the 320x320 Grayscale Camera Buffer when using EdgeImpulse.com models, draft code here.

portenta-sdram-3mg

.

.

I would like to put the entire TensorflowMicro model_tflite array into the 8 MB SDRAM, the board normally only has 1 MB of RAM for each core, so using SDRAM would be a fair improvement.

When using SDRAM for the camera frame buffer I was just changing one pointer for another so it was not that hard.

#include <SDRAM.h>

SDRAMClass mySDRAM;

uint8_t *sdram_frame_buffer;



// in the setup

  
  mySDRAM.begin(SDRAM_START_ADDRESS);   // for camera 320x320

  sdram_frame_buffer = (uint8_t *)mySDRAM.malloc(320 * 320 * sizeof(uint8_t));
 

// in the main loop
   int myCamResult =  myCam.grab(sdram_frame_buffer); // myCamResult should be zero 



but for TFLITE I need to work with an array, and that is a bit different when calling the array. Anyone got any suggestions to get me started?

Here is the basic TFLITE code.

const unsigned char model_tflite[] = { ... }

unsigned int model_tflite_len = 3048;


// which is then called using

   model = tflite::GetModel(model_tflite); 

// I have tried passing the array as a pointer (which works in some situations)
// but doesn't seem to work here
// Not really sure what the GetModel method does with the array.

Just as a quick followup, I chatted to Jeremy elsewhere and think we reached a solution: SDRAM Examples · Issue #38 · arduino/ArduinoCore-mbed · GitHub

Yes, thanks @petewarden the basic SDRAM concept is solved, but when I try to use it with the arduino TensorflowLite HelloWorld (sine wave) it compiles on the arduino Portenta but then gives me the red LED flash of death.

A starting point, I did get the Portenta working using regular TensorflowLite HelloWorld without and SDRAM saving of the Model. Just the arduino_output_handler.cpp file has analogWrite() to the builtin LED which kills the program, since the Portenta Analog pins strangely can’t do PWM.

Changing

analogWrite(led, brightness);

to

digitalWrite(led, brightness);
delay(3);

then works fine (note: it is really fast so the delay helps see the sine wave better).

Then:

The code I was running to test SDRAM is here in the main “hello_world.ino” file

This code compiles, but crashes on startup. Any suggestion to try would be appreciated, but not a huge deal as I have lots of other ML projects on the go.

Hi @Jeremy_Ellis by any chance did you manage to fix this issue? I am trying to do something similar with tflite model on SDRAM of portenta and the code crashes and red led flashes on the portenta.
