How to use Edge Impulse models in nrf5 SDK project

[Thanos]

Hello,

Our application is developped on SDK v15.2 and it is quite a big effort to port it on Zephyr nRF Connect ecosystem. Still, the possibility to use Edge Impulse models is quite tempting and extremely valuable for nRF52 devices running nRF5 SDK.

Kindly advise how someone could access EI models from an SDK5 application. I would even consider a mixed-environment development flow where ei .obj files would be generated using nRF Connect tools (cmake, etc) and then used as libraries in the main Segger Embedded Studio nRF5 project. Any wrapper for the nRF5 SDK available?

Thanks!

Hi,

We do not support it directly in the nrf5 SDK. However it should be possible but we dont have any wrapper or such.  I do recommend to contact the engineers over at EdgeImpulse for more details on how to best implement it if not using NCS/Zephyr or asking int he forums over there.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Thanos,

I also asked the same on their forum, no reply yet. https://forum.edgeimpulse.com/t/deploy-edge-impulse-to-nrf52832-via-nrf5-sdk/3024  

I was wondering if you were able to integrate Edge Impulse model into the nrf5 SDK? If yes, can you please share how you did it?

No luck, unfortunately.

Hi again, I got it to work. I'll share with you the details hopefully sometime next week.
