Configurations for Intel® NPU with OpenVINO™
|
|
===============================================

:description: Learn how to provide additional configuration for Intel®
|
|
NPU to work with the OpenVINO™ toolkit on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Intel® NPU device requires a proper driver to be installed in the system.
|
|
Make sure you use the most recent supported driver for your hardware setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. tab-set::
|
|
|
|
.. tab-item:: Linux
|
|
|
|
The driver is maintained as open source and may be found in the following repository,
|
|
together with comprehensive information on installation and system requirements:
|
|
`github.com/intel/linux-npu-driver <https://github.com/intel/linux-npu-driver>`__
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to check for the latest version of the driver.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you use a supported OS version, as well as install make, gcc,
|
|
and Linux kernel headers. To check the NPU state, use the ``dmesg``
|
|
command in the console. A successful boot-up of the NPU should give you
|
|
a message like this one:
|
|
|
|
``[ 797.193201] [drm] Initialized intel_vpu 0.<version number> for 0000:00:0b.0 on minor 0``
|
|
|
|
The current requirement for inference on NPU is Ubuntu 22.04 with the kernel
|
|
version of 6.6 or higher.
|
|
|
|
.. tab-item:: Windows
|
|
|
|
The Intel® NPU driver for Windows is available through Windows Update but
|
|
it may also be installed manually by downloading the
|
|
`NPU driver package <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/intel-npu-driver-windows.html>`__ and following the
|
|
`Windows driver installation guide <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/update-drivers-manually-in-windows-ec62f46c-ff14-c91d-eead-d7126dc1f7b6>`__.
|
|
|
|
If a driver has already been installed you should be able to find
|
|
'Intel(R) NPU Accelerator' in Windows Device Manager. If you
|
|
cannot find such a device, the NPU is most likely listed in "Other devices"
|
|
as "Multimedia Video Controller."
