Backends

The cfsutil ai backends commands let you inspect available AI backends.

Backends command

The cfsutil ai backends list command lists the AI backends available in your environment, or displays detailed information about a specific backend including its supported hardware and extension fields.

cfsutil ai backends list [--format text|json] [-n <value>]

Sample output

tflm:  Generation for Tflite-micro run-time
izer:  ai8x-izer generation for MAX78002 CNN

List a specific backend

Use --name (-n) to display detailed information about a specific backend, including supported hardware targets and available extension fields.

cfsutil ai backends list --name <backend>

Example

cfsutil ai backends list --name tflm
cfsutil ai backends list --name izer

Output in JSON format

cfsutil ai backends list --format json

Sample output — izer backend
