@mntmn Indeed, I'm glad we got to meet each other!

Got to work after Embedded World in Nuremberg and was able to finish object detection on the RK3588 NPU.

@mntmn Actually, I just ran the model and not a single operation was run on the systolic arrays. Only a few were run in the (underpowered) programmable core and the rest were rejected by Vivante's driver.

The @collabora guys are working on open-source TTS models, maybe they have something that maps better to this HW.

@mntmn I think it should work well, but I have looked at the model and it uses lots of operations that aren't supported at the moment.

I would need to take a closer look, but because there are so many operations that aren't convolutions, I think it is possible that this model would be more efficiently run on a GPU.

I'm so happy to announce that the first NPU driver has been accepted in Mesa.

Have written a bigger update to celebrate this and properly thank everybody who has been supporting me in this amazing trip so far.
