4.2. Outputs (dla_compiler Command Options)

--o Option

Syntax
--o <file_name>
Description
This option specifies the output file name for the exported compiled graph.
Example
-‑o ResNet50_GenericArch.bin
Parsed As
(string)

--dumpdir Option

Syntax
--dumpdir path
Description
This option specifies the path to the folder for export file and debug file outputs.

The file path location specified by the --dump_dir option command is also used as the destination location for most of the .csv, .txt, and .dot files created by the compiler. If you do not specify the --dump_dir option, these files are placed in the current working directory.

Example
--dumpdir /tmp/my_output/
Parsed As
(string)

--foutput-format Option

Syntax
--foutput-format=<exported_graph_format>
Description
This option specifies the format of the exported compiled graph file.
The <exported_graph_format> parameter can take one of the following values:
  • open_vino_hetero
    The export function is called from the OpenVINO™ HETERO plugin. This option serializes and dumps the following outputs to a binary file:
    • OpenVINO™ input information
    • OpenVINO™ output information
    • FPGA AI Suite compiled results
  • dla_compiled_result

    Only the FPGA AI Suite compiled results are dumped to the binary file.

Default Value
open_vino_hetero
Parsed As
(string)
