- Software: Suite 1.5.0, System image 1.8.04
- Hardware: Voxl2: TF-M0054-4-V1-C11
- Factory setup of default software

Hi all,
I need to get access to SNPE (Qulacomm's Neural Processing SDK) and was wondering if there is a guide or anyone has any advice getting the library setup on the Voxl2. Current releases of SNPE only support python3.10 and ubuntu 20.04 which these boards are not running. I managed to find a previous release (2.24) that is python3.6 based but still the later version of Ubuntu. Is this something that can be done or am I digging myself into a hole?

Best,
Filip

Anyone have any ideas in regards to this?

@fhaltmayer We're actively working on an SDK release with Ubuntu 20.04 however it is still a couple months out so not something that you'd be able to start working with today

@tom Do you have any tips/tricks for getting the SNPE working on the current build?

@fhaltmayer It's not something we've explored
