Mlonmcu-models: Handling increasing repository size

PhilippvK opened this issue · comments

Since I added several non-tflite models (primarily for testing the other frontends) to mlonmcu-models, the size of the repository increased to more than ? MB. This leads to a noticeable delay when cloning the repo. We could switch to use gits LFS feature but I am not sure if this would really help solving the issue. Alternative ideas for models which are hosted somewhere else could be:

  • instead of an actual model file, but a link.txt in the model directory which contains a download link would would be fetched on-demand.
  • Allow to pass models via URL to the MLonMCU command line and eventually cache the downloads so that they do not have to be downloaded again.

Solved by using LFS for larger models. Will open up a new issue for the url download part.
