What is ‘target’ in TVM?

If you specify like below,

TARGET = tvm.target.target.micro("stm32f746xx")

BOARD = “nucleo_f746zg” # or “stm32f746g_disco#”

Does it always mean you generate C?

Yeah–this is just a shortcut: tvm/python/tvm/target/target.py at main · apache/tvm · GitHub

When I went though this tutorial, what output am I supposed to get? What is the tar file you want to generate here?

The tar file is located at model_library_format_path. This is chosen to be a tempfile in the script, but you could choose any path you want (just replace the lines leading up to export_model_library_format).

Sorry, I’m still not sure about the concept of ‘template project’ or ‘model library format’.

The docs for each might help explain a bit more. If there are confusing parts, it would be great to hear (feel free to report or submit a PR):

• Model Library Format
• Project API (describes template project)
