[Feature Request] Support .tflite file and participate in the TinyML community

[johnny-wang16]

Hi, as Gemmini gains more and more attention, I was wondering if you guys have plans to support the .tflite format. By support i mean enabling the functionality of deploying a .tflite format model to run on Gemmini. kind of like supporting an onnx format model to run on Gemmini.

Hi! If you are interested in deploying TFLite to Gemmini, take a look at the integration I developed between TVM and Gemmini.

The code can be found here:

• https://github.com/fzi-peccia/tvm/tree/gemmini-microtvm

I also added a pull request here to add the Gemmini support for a non-zero padding, which is needed to deploy quantized TFLite models:
