Hi,

Khadas has released new (beta) image of VIM3: https://forum.khadas.com/t/vim3-3l-ubuntu-22-04-linux-5-15-testing-images-are-available-now/20600

What is interesting there is ability to offload H264 decoding to hardware.

Quick test with new image and Ultimate-ALPR shows that there no (yet) support for it.

Running runtimeKey outputs this:

This is just kind request to Doubango to add support for this. Previous version of VIM3 image (or actually rather old one :) ) works flawlessly, but this would probably speed up things (or just lower the CPU usage) when working.

Even I faced the same issue, I thought something was wrong with my device, can you tell which image worked?

It is the old one; not able to remember correctly which one but search this group for vim3 and you will find it :)

Do we have any plan to support the latest OS or even Khadas VIM4?

Is there any possibilities to add this to your plans?

To clarify:
VIM3 (5.0 TOPS) has a faster NPU than VIM4 (3.2 TOPS). The quantized (int8) models (tensorflow lite) will run fine (and fast) on VIM4 CPU, we will not add NPU acceleration.
The SDK works on any ARM device using Linux or Android. Support for NPU or GPU acceleration is another history but unfortunately we cannot afford time to add them.

Unfortunately no, we cannot afford it. We'd change the price for a license from 39$ to 200$ if we have to spend high amount of time to support and maintain all GPUs and NPUs available on the market. We already supports all Jetson devices, OpenVINO on all x86 devices, VIM3 NPU, CUDA and partial OpenCL, quantized (int8) inference on all ARM devices... that's already a lot for the price we propose 
No

Returning back to this issue. Would you - with some monetary compensation - dig in to this issue little more?
