Tensorflow 1.5 on Raspberry Pi3

Question

I followed these instructions to compile tensorflow: https://github.com/samjabrahams/tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi/blob/master/GUIDE.md

I pulled the newest bazel (0.9.0)from github and compiled it successfully. After that I pulled the newest tensorflow (1.5.0) from github then applied this command

grep -Rl 'lib64' | xargs sed -i 's/lib64/lib/g'

I skipped the editing of tensorflow/workspace.bzl. Then I ran the configuration script and provided the paths for python 3.5. Compilation was after one night successful with following command from tutorial:

bazel build -c opt --copt="-mfpu=neon-vfpv4" --copt="-funsafe-math-optimizations" --copt="-ftree-vectorize" --copt="-fomit-frame-pointer" --local_resources 1024,1.0,1.0 --verbose_failures tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

Then I builded the package:

bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg

Then the installation in python also worked without errors:

sudo pip3 install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-1.5.0rc1-cp35-cp35m-linux_armv7l.whl --upgrade --force-reinstall

But then when I start python3 from my home directory and try to import tensorflow with: import tensorflow as tf following error appears:

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

How can I fix this? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

It is looking for ConcatCPU defined here: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/r1.5/tensorflow/core/kernels/concat_lib_cpu.cc#L51

undefined symbol: _ZN10tensorflow9ConcatCPUINS_8bfloat16EEEvPNS_10DeviceBaseERKSt6vectorISt10unique_ptrINS_6TTypesIT_Li2EiE11ConstMatrixESt14default_deleteIS9_EESaISC_EEPNS8_6MatrixE

So there may be something wrong with your bazelrc.

You have multiple options:

1) Dig in your bazelrc and check that concat_lib_cpu.cc is being compiled, check that the linker sees it, etc.

2) RECOMMENDED - Simply download the package from ci.tensorflow.org and install:

Python 3: http://ci.tensorflow.org/view/Nightly/job/nightly-pi-python3/lastSuccessfulBuild/

Python 2: http://ci.tensorflow.org/view/Nightly/job/nightly-pi/lastSuccessfulBuild/

3) Use Tensorflow Lite if you can, remember RPIs are limitted.

Good luck.
