I downloaded the NeuroPilot SDK from
In the extracted folders, I see several directories (such as host, mt6878, mt6897, mt6899, mt6989, and mt6991), each containing both neuronrt and ncc-tflite files.
How do I choose the correct versions for deploying a model on Genio-720?
Thank you for this question.
The MediaTek Genio-720 /Genio-520 correspond to the mt8189 code name in the NeuroPilot ecosystem.
mt8189 belongs to the Genio IoT series and uses MDLA5.3 (MediaTek Deep Learning Accelerator version 5.3) with NeuroPilot 8 (NP8) support.
Important:
As of now, the official NeuroPilot SDK All-In-One Bundle does not include binaries for mt8189, which are required for Genio-720/Genio-520 deployments.
Please download the dedicated mt8189 package from:
| Directory Name | IoT Code Name | IoT Product Series | NeuroPilot Version | MDLA Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mt6878 | 8873 | IoT-Modem | NP7 | MDLA3.5 |
| mt6897 | 8883 | IoT-Modem | NP7 | MDLA5.0 |
| mt6989 | 8893 | IoT-Modem | NP7 | MDLA5.1 |
| mt6991 | 8894 | IoT-Modem | NP8 | MDLA5.5 |
| mt8189 | 8391 | IoT-Genio | NP8 | MDLA5.3 |
neuronrt and ncc-tflite Usage Guideneuronrt
host folder: Early developer validation tool, intended for PC environments with compatible MediaTek NPU. Not used for on-device deployment.mt8189): Validation and inference tool for on-device usage—select the version matching your device’s SoC code name.ncc-tflite
mt8189 package).ncc-tflite tool from the mt8189 package to convert TFLite models to DLA binaries targeting MDLA5.3.neuronrt tool from the mt8189 package on your Genio-720 device for model validation or on-device inference.MediaTek strongly recommends using the host version of ncc-tflite (located in the host folder) for model conversion tasks. The host-side ncc-tflite tool provides:
More comprehensive operator (op) support than device-specific versions
Improved memory management during model conversion
Better overall reliability, reducing the chance of memory allocation failures that can sometimes arise with device-side tools
Always perform model conversion on your development host PC with the host ncc-tflite, then transfer the generated DLA binaries for deployment on the target device.
neuronrt or ncc-tflite tools from other SoC folders (e.g., mt6878, mt6991) for Genio-720.It seems command, like 20250423_Neuron_SDK_v1.2517.03_neuron-8.0-release_release/mt8189/bin/neuronrt, can not be run on GENIO 720 with Ubuntu 24.04 ? there are some shared library issues ?
Hi @Sting_Cheng,
The AI-related function on Genio 720 with Ubuntu is still under development, and it’s expected to be completed in 2H26.
Here’s the OS supporting information based on different platforms.
You could choose G510/G700/G1200 for AI funtion development 
Hi @joying.kuo
For Genio 1200, The libneuro*.so are only available in Yocto image but NOT Ubuntu, can you please tell me how I can find the required neuron libraries for Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 ?
~Sting
Hi Sting_Cheng,
For Ubuntu, the Neuron libraries are installed via a separate NeuroPilot package. Once installed, you’ll get libneuron*.so ready to use.
