### param is too old, please regenerate Your model file is being the old format converted by an old caffe2ncnn tool. Checkout the latest ncnn code, build it and regenerate param and model binary files, and that should work. Make sure that your param file starts with the magic number 7767517. you may find more info on [use-ncnn-with-alexnet](use-ncnn-with-alexnet) ### find_blob_index_by_name XYZ failed That means ncnn couldn't find the XYZ blob in the network. You shall call Extractor::input()/extract() by blob name instead of layer name. For models loaded from binary param file or external memory, you shall call Extractor::input()/extract() by the enum defined in xxx.id.h because all the visible string literals have been stripped in binary form. This error usually happens when the input layer is not properly converted. You shall upgrade caffe prototxt/caffemodel before converting it to ncnn. Following snnipet type shall be ok. ``` layer { name: "data" type: "Input" top: "data" input_param { shape: { dim: 1 dim: 3 dim: 227 dim: 227 } } } ``` you may find more info on [use-ncnn-with-alexnet](use-ncnn-with-alexnet). ### layer XYZ not exists or registered Your network contains some operations that are not implemented in ncnn. You may implement them as custom layer followed in [how-to-implement-custom-layer-step-by-step](how-to-implement-custom-layer-step-by-step). Or you could simply register them as no-op if you are sure those operations make no sense. ```cpp class Noop : public ncnn::Layer {}; DEFINE_LAYER_CREATOR(Noop) net.register_custom_layer("LinearRegressionOutput", Noop_layer_creator); net.register_custom_layer("MAERegressionOutput", Noop_layer_creator); ``` ### fopen XYZ.param/XYZ.bin failed File not found or not readable. Make sure that XYZ.param/XYZ.bin is accessible. ### network graph not ready You shall call Net::load_param() first, then Net::load_model(). This error may also happens when Net::load_param() failed, but not properly handled. For more information about the ncnn model load api, see [ncnn-load-model](ncnn-load-model) ### memory not 32-bit aligned at XYZ The pointer passed to Net::load_param() or Net::load_model() is not 32bit aligned. In practice, the head pointer of std::vector is not guaranteed to be 32bit aligned. you can store your binary buffer in ncnn::Mat structure, its internal memory is aligned. ### undefined reference to '__kmpc_XYZ_XYZ' use clang for building android shared library comment the following line in your Application.mk ``` NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION := 4.9 ``` ### crash on android with '__kmp_abort_process' This usually happens if you bundle multiple shared library with openmp linked It is actually an issue of the android ndk https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1028 On old android ndk, modify the link flags as ``` -Wl,-Bstatic -lomp -Wl,-Bdynamic ``` For recent ndk >= 21 ``` -fstatic-openmp ``` ### dlopen failed: library "libomp.so" not found Newer android ndk defaults to dynamic openmp runtime modify the link flags as ``` -fstatic-openmp -fopenmp ```
