[RPC][VTA] rpc error after recent code refactor

Troubleshooting
#1

I pull the code from the master branch (commit 54bde8501df19f0133d094432914e3cf3e98fb14), but encounter this error when I tried to run vta/tutorials/frontend/deploy_classification.py on ultra96 board. Previously it works well.

Below is the error log.

ValueError: Cannot pass argument 0, type runtime.String is not supported by RPC

I tried to trace, and found the tcode with kTVMObjectHandle cannot be handled by RPC. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting. It seems due to one of the string change. cc @junrushao

As a solution to the problem we might want to translate String to str argument in RPC here https://github.com/apache/incubator-tvm/blob/master/src/runtime/rpc/rpc_module.cc#L48

#3

I see. After introducing runtime::String, there are many places in the codebase that we have to deal with both std::string and runtime::String, and in this case, the RPC module. I will submit a fix tomorrow :slight_smile:
