Compiling a model from cfg / meta / weights file into .so file

[werdnum]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to set up this project to run on my Jetson Nano device. The code seems to ship with .so files, but they're linked against OpenCV 3.3 so I can't use them on my device, which has OpenCV 4.X installed - I know this because when I start up my container, I get this error:

So I'm trying to produce new .so files using darknet - but honestly I haven't really had much luck in finding comprehensive documentation that covers all the options available for the darknet binary - there doesn't seem to be a darknet help command or a manual page or anything. It looks like build.sh is there to build darknet itself, but I want to compile a whole model as a .so file, unless somehow I'm misunderstanding what these files are for.

The code I'm using does seem to ship with some files that seem like the inputs that darknet wants, but there aren't any instructions there either for turning those files into the .so files that I guess are there to compile the model into a server (or dynamically link it in or whatever).

Any advice / pointers greatly appreciated for figuring out how to do this.

Since you're having problems with that repo...why don't you ask them instead? It is unlikely you'll find help in this repo about a different one.

There is no help command, but the command line options are described in the readme.

Fair question, I've posted an issue over there. I wondered if those .so files were perhaps compiled by a generic mechanism in darknet.

Is this the documentation you are referring to?

Correct, the readme.md file. Another place you can get help is the discord https://discord.gg/zSq8rtW as well as the FAQ https://www.ccoderun.ca/programming/darknet_faq/
