    Not supported

  • If the OS is Kylin V10, the Atlas 300I inference card (model 3010) does not support device topology detection or display of processor details.
  • When the Profiling tool is used to collect profile data, the Ascend-DMI tool is unavailable.
  • When the driver is installed on the Atlas 200I SoC A1 core board in default mode, only the root and HwHiAiUser users can use the ascend-dmi tool. If other non-root users need to use this tool, use the parameter in "Reference > Commands > Common Commands" in the Atlas 200I SoC A1 Core Board 6.0.0 NPU Driver and Firmware Installation Guide.
  • On the Atlas 200 AI accelerator module (RC), only the root and HwHiAiUser users can use the ascend-dmi tool without passwords. For other users, passwords are required.
