According to my research, There is no NPU module path in the linux (base on linux 6.5.4) , I have searched all linux projects and found no organization or comany that has submitted NPU code. Is there a path prepared for NPU driver currently? > 2. If there is no NPU driver path currently, I am going to put my NPU driver code in the drivers/media/platform/amlogic/ , because my NPU driver belongs to amlogic. and amlogic NPU is mainly used for AI vision applications. Is this plan suitabe for you? If I'm correct about the discussion with Oded Gabby before. I think the drivers/accel/ is proper for AI Accelerators including NPU. + Oded in case he can comment. Thanks, Jagan.
