Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_noble_current_6.12.0-kisak NPU driver version

[thanh_tan]

Hello,

 

I just need to check the NPU driver version on my Orange Pi 5 with Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5_noble_current_6.12.0-kisak

 

My command is 

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/rknpu/version

 

but error No such file or directory

 

Is there NPU driver on this Armbian OS?

[Werner]

My guess is that there is no npu driver upstreamed yet. Try vendor kernel

[Seven S]

now support npu?

 

[Werner]

reverse engineered npu driver (called ROCKET) is upstreamed since 6.17 I believe. So kernel-wise it is there. Everyhing else necessary (like libraries) is out of scope for Armbian.

From an OS's point of view, only a Mesa build with Teflon and Rocket driver support is needed (available since Mesa 25.3).
Inferences can then be executed with ai-edge-litert. I have been experimenting with this for some time on all my devices equipped with Rockchip RK3588/RK3588s.
