Recommended versions for OpenCL™ drivers:

  • 21.38 for Ubuntu
  • 21.48 for Ubuntu 20.04
  • 21.49 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 

VPU

Supported Hardware

  • Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 (Intel® NCS2) with corresponding operating systems 
  • AI edge computing board with Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU with corresponding operating systems
  • Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPU with corresponding operating systems

 

Deprecation Notice

  • Intel Corporation has discontinued the Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick 2 (Intel® NCS2). Version 2022.3 LTS is the last version of the toolkit to support Intel NCS2. 
  • Ubuntu 18.04 is supported with limitations. New Intel® hardware launched with the 2022.1 release (Q1 2022) and later is not supported in Ubuntu 18.0x. Starting with the 2022.1 release, the recommended operating system is Ubuntu 20.04. (This information is part of the deprecation message in the 2021.x release notes.)
  • Starting in release 2022.3, OpenVINO no longer supports Python* 3.6 because the Python community no longer supports it. Update to a newer version (3.7 to 3.9) to avoid interruptions in your next update.

Compatible Operating Systems

  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64 bit)
  • Windows 10 (64 bit—not suitable for an AI edge computing board with Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU with corresponding operating systems)
  • Raspbian* (the target is only for Intel NCS2)

Intel® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (Intel® GNA)

Supported Hardware

  • Intel® GNA

Note This coprocessor is not intended to replace classic inference devices such as CPUs, GPUs, or VPUs. To save power and free up CPU resources, it is designed for offloading continuous inference workloads including (but not limited to) noise reduction or speech recognition.

Compatible Operating Systems

  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64 bit) 
  • Windows 11 (64 bit)

Intel® FPGA AI Suite

By using a graph compiler, OpenVINO is enabled on the following Intel® FPGA devices. For more information, see the overview.

Supported devices include: 

  • Intel® Agilex™ FPGA 
  • Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA 
  • Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA

Disclaimer

The Intel® FPGA AI Suite requires a paid model solution. The previous free versions are supported up to version 2020.4. 

Additional Software Requirements

A Linux environment needs these components:

A Windows environment needs these components:

Note Graphics drivers are required only if you use a GPU.

 

Note For a list of components used in validation see the release notes.

A macOS environment needs these components:

Deep learning framework versions: 

  • TensorFlow* 1.15, 2.5 
  • MxNet* 1.7.0 
  • ONNX* (Open Neural Network Exchange) 1.8.1 

Note This package can be installed on other versions of deep learning frameworks, but only the specified versions above are fully validated.

Get Started
