Here at Infineon one of the key “deciders” for TVM was the availability of the mature (relay-based) backends for ARM embedded HW (and other COTS targets). Reading between the lines (“release branch, maintenance patch” ) it seems that these will effectively be orphaned. No access to new frontends, little or no scope for active enhancement/extension PRs, loss of connection to the TVM community mainstream for anyone still working with them…
Is there any likelihood of these being ported to Relax (ideally by their contributors)?
Without these TVM would become something of a “non starter” for our productive use. Dependable and properly maintainable backends for the mainstream ARM compute IP is the “must have”. For our own in-house HW we’d just have to grit our teeth, write off our TVM investment, and suffer through hacking-up TFLM/PyTorch edge with in-house performance hacks
