The format of fbuf and 3 parts of nvdla

[xiao777dong]

I'm sorry to bother you. I'd like to ask some questions. What format fbuf is and how to generate it? I saw three nvdlas in the file. How to generate each separate part of nvdla? Looking forward to reply. Thank you.

@xiao777dong this was done through some private tools. NVDLA compiler does not support this yet.

Is there a way to generate these files, now that the compiler has been released as open source?

[prasshantg]

@spaceotter you need to break the YOLOv3 model and compile separately excluding unsupported layers to generate 3 loadables and integrate those in Darknet application.

@prasshantg
I'm sorry to bother you.
Please teach me the specific steps to generate .nvdla files.
Now I succeeded in compiling caffemodel into .nvdla files by nvdla_compiler built from sources in https://github.com/nvdla/sw.
And I was able to run alexnet on firesim by using your alexnet-odla.cfg and alexnet-odla.nvdla,
but I can't run resnet-50 by using my converted .nvdla file.
So, could you tell me whether you compile model by using nvdla_compiler and otherwise
share me the way to convert?
