BM Runtime Library

bmerr_t

bmerr_t is a enum type which enumerates all API returned status. The values are listed as follows.

Value

Description

BM_SUCCESS

API call returns successfully

BM_ERR_AGAIN

API call fails due to device not ready

BM_ERR_FAILURE

API call returns general failure

BM_ERR_TIMEOUT

API call fails due to time out

BM_ERR_UNINITIALIZED

API call fails due to device un-initialized

BM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT

API call fails due to invalid argument

BM_ERR_NOMEM

API call fails due to insufficient memory

BM_ERR_DATA

API call fails due to data error

BM_ERR_BUSY

API call fails due to device being busy

BM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

API call fails due to unsupported parameters

bmctx_t

bmctx_t is a BM context handle, generated by bm_init(), released by bm_exit().

bmdev_t

bmdev_t is a BM device handle, generated by bm_device_open(), closed by bm_device_close().

bm_devinfo_t

bm_devinfo_t is a structure type which describes device info. It includes the following members:

Value

Description

chip

A enum value describes chip version.

npu_num

A uint32_t type value describes NPU number.

eu_num

A uint32_t type value describes EU number.

lmem_size

A uint32_t type value describes local memory size.

lmem_banks

A uint32_t type value describes local memory bank number.

gmem_size

A uint32_t type value describes global memory size.

bmmem_t

bmmem_t is a handle which points to BM memory structure. bmmem_device_t, bmmem_host_t and bmmem_system_t are all alias of bmmem_t.

Define as follow:

struct bm_memory;
typedef struct bm_memory *bmmem_t;
typedef bmmem_t bmmem_device_t;
typedef bmmem_t bmmem_host_t;

Normally, bmmem_device_t is device memory handle, generated by bmmem_device_alloc() function.bmmem_host_t is host memory handle, generated by bmmem_host_alloc().

bmnet_info_t

bmnet_info_t is a structure type which describes BM network’s input info. It includes the following members:

Value

Description

batch_size

A uint32_t type value describes batch size.

weight

A uint8_t pointer type value which points to the weight memory.

weight_size

A size_t type value describes weight memory size.

cmdbuf

A uint8_t pointer type value which points to the command buffer.

cmdbuf_size

A size_t type value describes command buffer size.

neuron_size

A size_t type value describes neuron memory size.

input_size

A size_t type value describes input memory size.

output_offset

A uint64_t type value describes output neuron offset to neuron base.

output_size

A size_t type value describes output neuron size in bytes.

Command buffer: command buffer stores instruction streams generated by BMNet using caffe model, and these instruction streams can be executed by TPU processor.

bmnet_output_info_t

bmnet_output_info_t is a structure type which describes BM network’s output info. It includes the following members:

Value

Description

output_size

Total output size of inference.

output_num

Output number.

name_array

Array of pointers to the output names

shape_array

Array of pointers to the output shapes

threshold_array

Array of pointers to the output threshold(meaningless on BM1682)

bmnet_t

bmnet_t is a BMNet context handle, generated by bmnet_register_bmodel(), released by bmnet_cleanup().
