Issue Building MLIR-AIR on Hawk Point Mini PC

[ngdymx]

Hi team,

I set up the environment following the tutorial outlined in docs/buildingRyzenLin.md, and worked on Hawk Point Mini PC: GMKtec NucBox K8 : AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS.

When running the following commands:
./utils/build-mlir-aie-local.sh llvm mlir-aie/cmake/modulesXilinx aienginev2 mlir-aie
I encountered an error shown below:

Error:

I’m unsure how to resolve this issue. Could you please help me with it? Thanks

Hi @ngdymx, sorry for the late reply. Could you please try changing the libxaie path to point to aienginev2/install, and see if it works?

Hi @erwei-xilinx ,

Thanks for your help, I have successfully set up the environment.
However, I encountered another issue during the testing process, as shown below. Could you help me with it? Thanks.

aie.extras is a python dependence of mlir-aie. Try going to the mlir-aie directory and run HOST_MLIR_PYTHON_PACKAGE_PREFIX=aie pip install -r python/requirements_extras.txt.

I'll go and update the mlir-air installation guide to add this step.

Hi @erwei-xilinx ,

When I ran the ninja check-air-python, I got the following:

And ran the lit -sv --time-tests --show-unsupported --show-excluded --timeout 600 -j5 test/xrt, I got:

Did I miss anything?

The first log says the test has passed. The warning message says that torch-mlir is not found, but that's fine as torch-mlir is an optional frontend to air.

The second log suggests that no AIETools has been found in the mlir-aie build. Please refer to this guide on building mlir-aie with AIETools: https://github.com/Xilinx/mlir-aie?tab=readme-ov-file#install-aietools Without the AIETools the compilation will still finish, and the compiler can generate mlir-aie irs, but cannot generate binaries because that would require the AIETools.

I see, thanks for your help!

But, I still get the following error:

But, he can find the AIETool but can't find ROCm:

What should I do now?

[erwei-xilinx]

I have never seen this before, unfortunately. Not sure why it just fails to access the chess-llvm-link component which already exists under that same directory. I guess that one thing you could try is to install AIETools under a different directory, presumably somewhere under your home directory that the project is guaranteed to have visibility to.

ROCm isn't a hard requirement. Either ROCm or XRT would work, and I see that you have the XRT successfully linked.
