Hi All.

I think looking at the posts on here I might know the answer to my 1st question…

I’ve got a Hikey970 board on my desk, first fail was the power supply connector didn’t fit into the board, had to laugh, fix that then loaded The Linux version, hikey970-lebian-9.tar.gz, which included tensorflow.

Couldnt get tensorflow to work so have reverted to: Hikey 970 Lebuntu.rar

My system is up and running and I’m going to put Tensorflow on it.

However, my question is…where are all the tools/SDKs to exploit the Kieron970 ?

Where are all the whizzy demo apps to convince developers this is the system to use for AI ?

Am I missing something ?

So far, not impressed.

There are a few community created demo apps. Take a look at this one for example.

#3

Shouldn’t figuring out what to do with a thing come before acquiring that thing?

From my point of view, its really not fair to buy something without any idea what to do with it, and then complain that you can’t do anything with it.
