How to build vpualHost for kmb-plugin

There are two ways, how you can build vpualHost. Manual or using CI-job.

Build vpualHost and VPUIP2 with CI-Job

You can find CI job here: https://dsp-ci-icv.inn.intel.com/job/IE-Packages/job/BuildKmbArtifacts/ Result of build is firmware and vpuip2 artifacts.

Manual build

1. To build ARM64 code you need [Yocto SDK](how-to-build.md### Yocto SDK).

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone git@github.com:movidius/vpualHost.git

3. Run the following script:

   source /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/environment-setup-aarch64-ese-linux
   cd vpualHost
   git checkout <The branch you need>
   git submodule update --init --recursive
   mkdir build_aarch
   mkdir install
   export VPUAL_HOME=$(pwd)
   git rev-parse HEAD > install/revision.txt
   cd build_aarch
   cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$VPUAL_HOME/install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
   make -j8 install

• The built package is located in the $VPUAL_HOME/install folder.
• The current revision of vpualHost is stored in the revision.txt file.

How to build kmb-plugin using custom vpualHost

• Currently vpualHost is a pre-built package.
• Default path is $KMB_PLUGIN_HOME/artifacts/vpualHostInstallPackage.
• To use a specific package, you do not need to delete the existing default package in kmb-plugin storage.

export KMB_PLUGIN_HOME=<path to kmb-plugin>
export OPENVINO_HOME=<path to dldt>
export VPUAL_HOME=<path to vpualHost>
mkdir -p $KMB_PLUGIN_HOME/build_aarch
cd $KMB_PLUGIN_HOME/build_aarch
cmake -DInferenceEngineDeveloperPackage_DIR=$OPENVINO_HOME/build_aarch -DvpualHost_DIR=$VPUAL_HOME/install/share/vpualHost/ ..
make -j8
