To deploy the AI model to DRP-AI on the target board, you need to compile the model with DRP-AI TVM1 to generate Runtime Model Data (Compile).
SDK generated from RZ/V Linux Package and DRP-AI Support Package is required to compile the model.
After compiled the model, you need to copy the file to the target board (Deploy).
You also need to copy the C++ inference application and DRP-AI TVM1 Runtime Library to run the AI model inference.
