iMX8 Plus NPU delegate

[WalterPrech]

Environment (Hardware)

• Hardware: iMX8 Plus SOC with NPU.
• Software: yocto, qt, cmake

Information

I have a Qt6 application (cmake based) and included the Inference helper with Tensorflow Lite support.
I include this Qt project into a Yocto project, generating a Linux image for iMX8 Plus platform.

The project compile all well and the Inference helper runs with the INFERENCE_HELPER_ENABLE_TFLITE_DELEGATE_XNNPACK settings.

external_delegate_path

In Yocto tensorflow-lite and tensorflow-lite-vx-delegate for iMX8P is integrated.
If I use the following command from the installed examples

USE_GPU_INFERENCE=0 ./label_image -m mobilenet_v1_1.0_224_quant.tflite -i grace_hopper.bmp -l labels.txt --external_delegate_path=/usr/lib/libvx_delegate.so

Tensorflow use the NPU hardware acceleration. Important for this are

• USE_GPU_INFERENCE=0
• --external_delegate_path=/usr/lib/libvx_delegate.so

Question

Is it possible to include USE_GPU_INFERENCE and --external_delegate_path=/usr/lib/libvx_delegate.so into the XNNPACK settings?
Or need I create a completely custom delegate pack?
