Enable NPU on Board

Prerequisites

The fastrpc package on this page is provided through the Radxa APT repository, so you should first flash and boot an official RadxaOS image. If the current system is not an official RadxaOS image, apt install fastrpc may fail because the package cannot be found or dependencies are not satisfied.

• Official image download: Fogwise® AIRbox Q900 Resource Downloads
• Installation guide: Install System to Onboard UFS

NPU Environment Configuration Checklist

• fastrpc
• /dev/fastrpc-adsp
• /dev/fastrpc-cdsp
• /dev/fastrpc-cdsp-secure
• /usr/lib/dsp libraries

Install using radxa apt source

Prerequisite

These packages depend on the Radxa APT source included in the official RadxaOS images. Before following the steps below, make sure the device is running the official RadxaOS image for the target board. If you are using a third-party Ubuntu/Debian image or have replaced the package sources, fastrpc / fastrpc-test may not be available.
